comments Join our Whatsapp Channel Add Dawn as a trusted source WHEN Ayatollah Ali Khamenei fell victim to American-Israeli aggression on Feb 28, the world witnessed not the death of a leader, but the birth of an eternal idea. For 36 long years, he stood as an indomitable fortress against American hegemony and Israeli expansionism, defying suffocating sanctions, relentless threats, and diplomatic isolation with unwavering resolve. The United States and Israel clearly mis-calculated, believing that eliminating Khamenei would collapse Iran and pave the way for a puppet regime.
They were deadly mistaken. His mar-tyrdom did not fracture Iran; it forged an unbreakable unity. The Iranian people, heirs to centuries of proud resistance, stood up to confront the US-Israel nexus with renewed ferocity, proving that oppression only fortifies the spirit of those who have tasted liberty.
