My beautiful country, a shipwreck, swaying round and round!
After 47 years of the Islamic rule, Iran as a country of 93 million people, vast natural resources, an expanse of human resources, a rich history behind is continuously under threat from outside forces, especially the America and Israel , and from inside by the chaotic situation after the death of Ali Khamenei and the lack of a central power to give direction to the country and take her out of the dire economic and political crisis from the inside and constant threat by the US and Israel. The constant strategy of hostility with the western world, especially the US and Israel, establishing and arming various groups in the Middle East, Hezbolah in Lebanon, Hootis in Yemen, various groups in Iraq and Syria ( who were kicked out after Assad was toppled) are among the factors that have ruined the lives of millions of Iranians as the resources are siphoned to these groups and or spent on the useless program of building energy resources from nuclear facilities, while sitting on oil, gas and many other resources which can build a prosperous economy and take Iran out of its stagnation in the economy.
Now, after the killing of the supreme leader, whom we believed is the source of all the hostilities and violence, the situation has become even worse. Various pillars of power have emerged, competing with each other to grab the power and run the country, the people are swayed around the official body of president and his government, the unknown, under cover hardliners who want chaos and the revolutionary guard who has basically got more power than the government and its president.
The crisis in the strait of Hormoz, which emerged out of nowhere and the on and off bombing of southern regions, destruction of infrastructure of the ports alongside the Persian Gulf leading to the strait of Hormoz has complicated the situation without any solution at hand. In this chaotic situation
, the 94 something million Iranians are becoming poorer, more frustrated, more desperate to get out of this maze of instability which can drive the country towards complete breakdown.
When Khamenei was in charge we knew who to address, blame or curse. Now, after his death we are stranded among so many destructive powers that we sometimes wish he was alive and in charge even if we hated him and blamed him for our ruined relationship with the world and the misery we were in for so many years which drove us to the present situation.
