🇮🇷💥 IRAN’S PALESTINE STRATEGY: Tehran brands itself the ultimate champion of Palestinian resistance. But is the Islamic Republic actually complicit in the very system that sustains Israel’s ability to commit genocide? Is its “Islamic” foreign policy just a smokescreen? 🧵👇
For decades, Iran has called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that must be “wiped from the map.” But when Israeli bombs rain down on Gaza, when genocide escalates—where is Iran’s real intervention? Does Tehran’s “resistance” amount to anything beyond slogans and proxy warfare?
Karim Abadani’s piece in Issue 2 of @muftahmag exposes a contradiction: Iran’s strategic restraint may be indirectly propping up the very forces it claims to oppose. By operating within global “norms” rather than confronting Israel militarily, is Iran actually protecting itself?
Iran warns of “red lines,” yet Israel crosses them repeatedly—bombing Syria, assassinating Iranian generals, massacring Palestinians. Iran’s response? Calibrated, careful, limited.
Some say Iran is preserving its strength for the right moment. Others argue this proves its real priority is self-preservation, not liberation. Is Tehran truly resisting Zionism, or just using the Palestinian cause to expand its own regional influence?
Iran presents itself as a revolutionary power, but what if it’s just another state navigating the balance of power? What if its anti-Zionist rhetoric is no different from the West’s “pro-democracy” talk—words meant to justify its own geopolitical ambitions?
What do you think? Is Iran the only state truly committed to Palestine’s liberation? Or is it just another regional player, making sure it never pays the ultimate price for its so-called “resistance”?
