Hear me out, theoretically this is actually cool?
Like, theoretically, take away the Fox propaganda and shameless lack of disclosure. Picture this guy presenting himself as a CI, like a convicted hacker, former cartel, defector or something. He has real experience with Iran, missiles, the whole Contra affair. He knows what they’d do with them, how they get them, what the buyers are like because he shamelessly sold them.
That’d be a cool perspective.
It’s of course not reality, but still.
For similar reason I enjoyed the Sam Bent episode on Darknet Diaries.
Theoretically sure. But the regime he sold it to go toppled like three times over. So it’s not the same people anymore and the context he could provide is out of date and … checks notes still based on his treasonous actions.
I’m sure as hell not defending him, but your point is valid and why him being against them having missiles isn’t necessarily a contradiction. “Them” isn’t the same them that he sold to. Again, not defending him and I haven’t listen to anything he’s said recently to know his stance (nor do I really care to), but just keeping my own logic in check.
No. The current constitution is what they got after the revolution in 1979. Khomeini was supreme leader until 1989. Khamenei somehow got himself appointed to successor just in time. The successor he replaced was against mass executions and stuff. Funny how it goes.
