Iran Leader Says U.S. Talks 'Not Intelligent or Honorable'

[empireoflove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Iran's "President" is a figurehead with no real power. Having one be more "moderate" would not change the country's direction, regardless of whether the US bombed it or not.
Their Supreme Leader (chosen by a closed council) is the one who actually sets policy and has effectively full control, then their president follows those policies.

[not_rick@lemmy.world]

I know. That doesn’t change the fact that Khamenei is an oppressive autocrat, and power ultimately doesn’t preside with the presidency there.

[bieren@lemmy.world]

When Iran is calling you out for being an idiot, you know you done fucked up.

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

This guy is pretty cool
This is his website
Khamenei.ir

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

Dude
I live in iran
ALL of iranians hate khamenei and support usa and israel
They are such cruel demons
So dont say you agree with iranians
Because they are the worst in this world

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

Its not chosen by a closed council
Lying to simple people is all you do huh ?
Go worship trump you fascist idiot

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

I guess its better for everyone to come and live in iran
At least its safer than a country controlled by MANIACS like elon musk and trump

According to the constitution (Article 111), the Assembly of Experts is tasked with electing (following Ayatollah Khomeini), supervising, and dismissing the Supreme Leader. In practice, the Assembly has never been known to challenge or otherwise publicly oversee any of the Supreme Leader's decisions[20] (all of its meetings and notes are strictly confidential).[21] Members of the Assembly are chosen by bodies (the Guardian Council) whose members are appointed by the Supreme Leader or appointed by an individual (Chief Justice of Iran) appointed by the Supreme Leader.

Just elected by a Guardian council that is in turn either appointed by the supreme leader or the Chief justice who is also appointed by the supreme leader. Pretty clearly a circular relationship. Nice name calling, though.

I hate having to agree with this fuck but yeah he ain’t wrong.

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

Not interested in discussing with a fascist

[not_rick@lemmy.world]

lol, ok.

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

Lol you think im joking kid ?
How old are you ?
Also the text you have shown doesnt have any link to a safe resource
And well people can easily know and i will say it
People choose certain officers
And then those officers will choose the leader
Which is indeed this guy
Finished i dont have time for a retarded person who copies from capitalism sources and tells me to read it without any safe source or anything

[not_rick@lemmy.world]

Did the supreme leader steal your punctuation keys? You’re clearly trolling, enjoy your imminent ban.

[gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com]

Can you speak more to that? Why is there such a difference in perspective between average Iranians and Khamenei?

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

Because khamenei defends gaza and fights against usa and israel
And if you look at the words which iranians say in social medias its all like this :
Kill people in gaza they are arabs
Which is racism
And the do Defend trump and usa gov
Which is just a satanic way of life
Thats all my dear

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

Oh trolling huh ?
A few seconds ago some capitalism guys told me the same
Hahaha as i said captalism people have potato brains
And yeah just like you im not trolling or anything
Im being HONEST

[ice2dark@lemmy.world]

You can use google translate and search the famous social media in iran
Which is instagram
Well go and you will see with your own eyes
I dont like it when people think im a liar

[gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com]

Can you say why Iranians dislike Arabs or why they support USA/Israel, and why Khamenei supports Palestine and not USA/Israel? I'm trying to understand why this difference exists. I really am not educated at all on this part of the world (that's my ignorance, but I am curious about your experiences).

Is it really as simple as racism or are there socioeconomic concerns? For example, many people in my country (Canada) hate immigrants because it's difficult to find a good-paying job or an affordable apartment due to suppressed wages, lack of domestic manufacturing, and a very bad housing crisis. It's easier to just blame immigrants for coming here than to convince the government to help us more directly.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

You're being an asshole and an idiot.
Chill out.

[gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com]

I don't doubt you, I'm just trying to get your perspective on why these differences exist. But maybe that's me acting entitled to information from a random person and I would be better off watching a documentary or something.
