Here's what they currently think of their "Supreme Leader".

Despite appearing to be solidly in control of the Islamic Republic, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now faced with the acerbic tongue of the Iranian population. More than ever -- in the streets, in taxis, in private conversations, and in public expressions -- his words, dictates, and even mannerisms are being criticized and mocked.


This predicament leads a professor of contemporary Iranian history to observe that Khamenei now faces "the fate of all dictators. He is currently the loneliest person in the country." He considers the argument that Khamenei's power rests on support from the Revolutionary Guards no more than a "propagandistic claim."

I'm sure we were talking about Iran's ambition to acquire a nuclear weapons and not what Iranians think of their "supreme leader".

That being said, here's a poll conducted by the enemies of Iran, on Iranians, the answer is not surprising, 85% of Iranians favour the "Supreme Leader", and 8% don't like him, you can't say the same for US figure heads, or US congress, or any politician.

Seriously? A telephone survey? Of 382 people out of 75 million?

I think you should spend more time reading Iranian news and blogs.

Here's one that talks about Khamenei's intentions. I think you should check out the Sepahonline web link inside of it.

I'm glad you read the survey, now go back and continue reading your favourite anti-Iranian website. You haven't provided anything on topic, the topic was about Iran's ambition to acquire a nuclear weapon, obviously the OP failed, now you're trying to bring new topics which you're failing just like OP.

If you actually took the time to read, like I did, the article I just linked is very much on topic.

Sorry, but it looks like you failed this one.

At the same time, his directive to the Guards ordered a speedy completion of the Iranian nuclear bomb program in which Guards’ missiles can be armed with nuclear warheads. Khamenei believes once that’s achieved, Iran can test a nuclear bomb, letting the world know that Iran has joined the nuclear-armed club and that any confrontation will result in destruction of much of the Western world.

Then really, by that account, we have nothing to worry about. Seems as though, left to their own devices they will sort out their own problems internally. Thanks for posting that, I have even more hope that Iran will rise above the bullying than I did before.

We can hope. These upcoming parliamentary elections on March 2nd and the aftermath will be very telling. Of course, the West will continue to be blamed for tampering with the elections by their leaders.

It looks to me like some of the revolutionists want someone like their last Ayatollah back.

"Paper cut out of Khomeini roams Tehran amid Iranians’ indignation"

In commemoration of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, a paper model of Iran’s first Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini was paraded in the streets of the capital Tehran amid sarcastic remarks by Iranians and indignation on the part of several officials.

The “paper Khomeini,” as the model came to be called, first came down a plane to reenact the supreme leader’s return from exile in France after the toppling of the Shah. Officers and clerics then took paper Khomeini to the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery in southern Tehran and where the late leader gave his first speech after coming back.

Officials attending the ceremony played a recording of the speech then started talking to the paper model about current problems in Iran like the nuclear program, economic sanctions, oil exports and others.

Pardon me for being a westerner,

But that's freaking weird!

A paper Ayatollah? Interviewing it? It gave a speech?

No, they aren't whacky.

Do you like believing fairy tales, or just reading them? If both, then you would enjoy reading the "
THE STAG, THE SHEEP, AND THE WOLF" story, rather than this garbage. At least the "
THE STAG, THE SHEEP, AND THE WOLF" story is wise and has a deep meaning, the fairy tales you're reading are only designed to demonize and justify, war which is bloodshed, destruction, widespread human suffering, lawlessness, chaos, barbarism, mass murder and even or genocide.

But you'll obviously deny that, you'll say that this is not a fairy tale, if so, then please provide evidence to back up the segment of the article you posted? Where's the evidence that Khamenei "ordered a speedy completion of the Iranian nuclear bomb program".

For that matter, I should suggest to you that you do some research on the background of the author who wrote the article, the position that he held and the role he played in the Middle East.
