Trump again addressed Iran today (Beijing time January 11), saying: "Iran is yearning for freedom, perhaps more than ever before. The United States is always ready to help!!!"
After Trump's post, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei wrote: "If God wills, soon the joy of victory will be passed to the hearts of all the people of Iran."
[Witty] Comments: Trump's rhetoric about "yearning for freedom and being ready to help" is a hypocritical discourse of hegemonic interference - just after staging a "rapid arrest" in Venezuela, he immediately stoked the fire in Iran's internal turmoil. The so-called "help" is nothing but taking advantage of the chaos, a desire to replicate the subversion script. Khamenei's response of "the joy of victory brought by God's blessing" seems like a helpless self-consolation: when the rial has plummeted to 1.42 million to 1 US dollar, inflation has surged 42.2%, food prices have soared by 70%, and protests have erupted in more than 20 provinces across the country, with people shouting "not missiles, but food", can empty religious expectations cover the wounds of people's livelihood? The crisis in Iran is not only due to external sanctions, but also internal factional infighting, stagnation of reforms, and dissatisfaction among ethnic minorities. These complex issues have already undermined the foundation of governance. Khamenei's "confidence" lacks practical support; if he cannot face internal problems and solve the difficulties of people's livelihood, relying only on religious appeals and anti-American slogans, the so-called "joy of victory" will eventually become an unfulfilled talk, and America's push and pull will only make this intertwined domestic and foreign crisis deeper.
