When we are standing at a crossroad

Has it happened to you standing at a cross road not knowing which way to go? Well, as a nation, we Iranians are at that stage of our history. We have a system of governance which exists in theory but has no power in reality. We have a “Supreme Leader “ who is absent and no one knows wether he exists at all, given the fact that he was in the same place when missiles struck and killed Khamenei and his top generals and the rest of his family who were there with him. Is it possible that his son, Mojtaba survived the attack while being in the same place? Or did he die with the rest and we are fed an illusion of him being alive but severely wounded?
Whatever the truth, the revolutionary guard generals quickly took over and sidelined the existing government and started running the country. We are unofficially governed by the generals who have taken over the foreign policies, negotiating with the US, threatening the world, taking control of the Hormuz waterway and basically freezing the economy of the world.
The existing government, weak and frightened, having no choice but to obey what the generals decide. The economy on the brink of collapse, unemployment high, jobs scarce and access to the internet driving millions out of jobs adding to the misery.
We, millions of Iranians outside of Iran deep into fighting with each other, ignoring the fact that having had a little brain, we could use our power to unite, to make the world support us and to create the potential for those inside bring their voices to the world. We need to have a united voice, a united front , a plan of action for the future of our country, for our children to have a pathway, for the world to know that we are prepared to live side by side with our neighbours to make the region prosperous and away from wars.
We are a rich country with huge resources, manpower, and wealth which can transform our country into a prosperous nation. We can have and should have friendly relations with our neighbours and make the Middle East one of the best places in the world. Shall we make a covenant with ourselves and chose the good over evil? Can we do tgat? I think we can if we truly believe in our power and have the will to use our power for the good of humanity.
