Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of experts, Iranian International reported Tuesday.
Motjaba is known for a staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism, and has close ties to Iran’s notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military body, according to CNN.
Yeah, no. Russia really needed gas and oil to be much more expensive globally. That Ukraine war is costly. Also the Trump/Epstein files. Also Israel.
Russia is actively giving military aid to Iran and vice versa, what are you talking about?
Because Iran is targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz it brings the global price of oil up and drives demand for Russian oil. Yes, Russia supports Iran, but this war is a win for Russian interests. It erodes the international order, stamps out rebellion in Iran, boosts oil profitability, reinforces their stance that the neoliberal world order is a threat, and weakens America.
Plus, they won’t directly intervene cause of their non-aggression pact with Israel (Israel doesn’t arm Ukraine, Russian oligarchs vacation in Israel)

Yes.
Fully agreed, but that’s all America’s doing. If there’s any implication that Russia somehow controls America while being its nemesis, it doesn’t make much sense.
This admin is full of individuals that the Kremlin has kompromat on. It’s not surprising at all.
