The remaining mullah militarists/fascists in Tehran, who seek martyrdom according to their deeply held beliefs about Islam, have no fear and want to see the results of their provocation… even if and maybe especially if, they evaporate into their dreamed martyrdom. A shadow government must be formed and strengthened … but how , in the home of mistrust among the Iranian people? They want neither the mullahs nor the reformed IRGC version of SAVAK /morality police but how do they organize against the masses and machinists of this brutal theocratic regime? How to build a new Iran without arms or leaders that can afford to be public, lest they swing from a crane or worse? They know from experience that American support is schizophrenic, depending on what flavor of right vs left administration is in control. This dates back decades.
$65. Well spent. Thank you.
I believe you’re correct!
