American politics is a screen onto which people across the world project their concerns. Here in Idlib, Syria a local artist painted a mural in honor of George Floyd on a house destroyed by the Syrian regime. "I can't breathe" is a line that Syrians feel more acutely than most.
According to this cartoonist, just as Derek Chauvin crushed George Floyd's windpipe, the Islamic Republic is killing Iran.
Supporters of Khamenei, however, have a different view of George Floyd. They depict him as a "Resistance" martyr, being welcomed into heaven just as Qassem Soleimani was.
