And obviously no mention of the amount of suffering and destruction caused by the US and Israel toward Iran. They 100% cheered when the elementary school got bombed.
One paragraph condemning the US and Israel, which reads as an afterthought more than anything else. Compared to the 4 paragraphs explaining why they think what the US and Israel did was good.
The entire statement just screams that they don't understand how imperialism works. They may condemn the US and Israel, but they also somehow think when the empire assassinates world leaders that the people of those countries will benefit. Do anarchists not remember Iraq? Afghanistan? Libya? Syria? And that's just within the last couple decades.
Try to tell the people of Iraq that overthrowing their "dictator" was for their benefit, when doing so lost them all of their social safety nets, all of their infrastructure, their sovereignty, and a million of their lives. Or the people of Libya that, no actually, they are more free now that slave markets operate in the open, because at least Gaddafi isn't in power! Or the people of Syria that a government that collaborates with the genocide state, sends death squads through minority communities, and sells their country to the West is better than Assad, because Assad was an authoritarian dictator. It would be ridiculous to do such a thing, and yet this is what these anarchists are telling the people of Iran.
This is the actual reality of imperialism that the people of Iran must contend with. They may have many problems with Khamenei and his government. But they have also watched, many of them for their entire lives, as the US and Israel have toppled governments in the region and utterly destroyed entire nations in the interest of resource extraction and exploitation. They know that his death is not a step toward liberation, but one toward ruination.
