A Display of Power and a Call for Revenge
The funeral processions of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution, were a historic event that drew tens of millions of participants. The event was highly extraordinary from a demographic perspective, and one could even call it unprecedented in contemporary history. The people of Iran stood firm to protect their country, and the event was a continuation of the war against the aggressors.
The enemy sought to intervene in Iranian society, hoping to spark riots and chaos that would both legitimize a military invasion and serve as a distraction for a ground offensive. However, the Iranian society did the exact opposite. They displayed an extraordinary reaction that we didn't even see during the 12-day war. To use a term from the martyred Leader of the Revolution, we witnessed an 'awakening' and massive self-awareness.
The people felt a historic duty to stand alongside the armed forces, safeguarding the social and soft-war fronts while the military handled the hard war. They viewed the funeral as a continuation of that very war—a vital link in generating power for the nation. It was a battlefield where their presence generated national strength.
The enemy failed to achieve its goals because the Leader, who is no longer with us, had spent years building institutions, systems, and a society prepared for such a day. This power stood up against two nuclear superpowers and created a historical marvel. Unlike the past 200 years of pre-revolution history, where Iran always lost something in wars, this time we pushed the aggressors back.
The combination of self-awareness, the ongoing sense of duty to project national strength, and deep, intensifying emotional devotion resulted in this massive turnout. For years, Iran's enemies have made various claims about the Iranian people's relationship and feelings toward Ayatollah Khamenei. However, the current U.S. administration and key apparatuses like the Pentagon and intelligence agencies lack the caliber of their predecessors.
Reports from early in Trump's administration noted that his team was mostly composed of 'yes-men' who would merely verify and rubber-stamp his ideas rather than critically evaluating them. This led to disastrously flawed calculations. We saw four-star generals purged from their positions, and the U.S. military was left without a clear strategy.
The funeral processions of Ayatollah Khamenei were a significant event in the history of Iran, and they have implications for the future of the country and the region. The event was a display of power and a call for revenge against the enemies of Iran, and it will be remembered for generations to come.
