The crisis of the Islamic Republic, whether inside Iran or in the international sphere, is not caused by the wrong decisions of its politicians, groups that benefit from it, or its political factions; The crises of the Islamic Republic are essential, they flow from its existence and what it is. Many western politicians and even some Iranian political activists have not yet understood that the Islamic Republic is not a government, but an anti-government. The state, in the modern sense, is an institution for preserving the territory, the security of citizens, the legitimate monopoly of violence and the representation of national interests; However, the Islamic Republic has systematically completely destroyed these functions or put them at the service of a transnational and ideological project. The birth of the modern nation state is the result of modernity and accepting its requirements, while the Islamist rebellion of 57 was not a rebellion against the previous government, but against modernity itself and its necessity - the nation state. The Islamist movement of 57 is a regressive movement that has replaced the Iranian nation-state with the caliphate-ummah, and its ultimate goal is not national interests. Rather, it is the expansion of political Islam in the world. In this logic, Iran and the Iranian people are not the goal of politics, but the fuel of the project. The reason for the existence of the Islamic Republic is not to secure national interests, but to continue the endless war with modernity, the nation state and the world order. The issue is not that the Islamic Republic "wants or does not want" to be a normal actor in the international sphere, the issue is that being normal and modern is in conflict with the existence and what the Islamic Republic is.
The occasional diplomatic moves of the Islamic Republic are not a sign of a change in nature, but temporary tactics in its war of attrition with the world order. The West also, because it looks at the Islamic Republic through the glasses of modernity, mistakenly thinks that it is on the side of a nation-state similar to itself; A government that turns on the heels of national interests and negotiates in its direction. The West's misunderstanding of the issue makes it think that by threatening Iran's national interests, it can gain concessions from the Islamic Republic. But the concept of government, nation, and national interests did not come about through diplomatic negotiations; These are the constructions of the Enlightenment era and the birth of the modern world. A structure that clearly, both in discourse and in practice, has defined itself in opposition to the modern world, is basically neither seeking national interests nor even able to recognize them. The massacre in January and the shelling of thousands of Iranian protesting citizens is an unmistakable proof of the claim that the mullahs' regime is as hostile to the Iranian nation as it is to the West.
For many years, Jinnah, the so-called reformist faction of the Islamic Republic, sold this dream to the West that if the Islamic Republic finds a place in the international economy, economic development will automatically end revolutionary radicalism and will eventually turn into a normal government. This cognitive error came from the lack of understanding of the fundamental opposition of the Islamic Republic to modernity and the nation state. By making a wrong analogy between the Islamic Revolution and classical revolutions such as the French National Revolution, they predicted that the Islamic Revolution would finally enter the Thermidor period, i.e. the waning of revolutionary radicalism. All the governments negotiating with the Islamic Republic signed the JCPOA with such an optimistic view in 2015, and in response, today they are facing the expansion of a secret nuclear program and an amazing reserve of missiles and suicide drones. To end this costly and dangerous cycle, first of all, the West must understand this problem in order to find the only possible solution. Deh: Negotiation is nothing more than a mirage and there is no other way than to destroy this force of anti-modernity and anti-world order. Except this way, all the reactions of the West to the Islamic Republic are only postponing the confrontation until tomorrow, which will become more costly and bloodier with each passing day...
...only on the two nights of January 18 and 19, the Islamic Republic committed the most terrible massacre in its 47-year history; A crime that was unbelievable for the world community. In response to the brutal reaction of the regime, several hypotheses have been presented, all of which are based on political-economic and geopolitical conditions. But none of these answers are able to explain how many times the quantity and intensity of the killings in January 1404 were compared to the protest movements of the previous years. The appropriate answer to this riddle can be found in remembering what the seed of the "Islamic Revolution" is. The Islamic Republic went crazy not because of the security threat, but because of the direct threat to its existence.
Javid Shah's slogan was a cry to turn the Iranian nation away from the struggle with modernity. The king here is not the real character of a particular person; If it was, logic dictated that a slogan like "Long live Omar Shah" should be shouted. "Javid Shah" is the translation of the thousand-year stability of the institution of the Iranian nation-state, which entered the modern era in the Pahlavi dynasty. This cry is the will of the nation to stop the derailed train of Iran, which is heading towards a terrible abyss. The goal is to return Iran to the path that in the Pahlavi era led Iran to modern state building, institutional concentration, development and connection with the new world.
In January, Javid Shah of the people was a rebuke to the Islamic Republic and to his other anti-modernist co-conspirators who, under the guise of the opposition, dream of continuing the war with the Iranian nation state. Unlike previous years, this time the Iranians targeted the heart of the Islamic Republic, and the helpless regime, in a frenzy of terror and rage, recklessly and unreservedly targeted and tore the hearts of tens of thousands of Iranians. But the will of the nation is not based on a few tens or even a few hundred thousand people to be stopped by killing. The nation has woken up from a 47-year-old sleep, torn the tight and ugly slavery of the nation, which they had forced, and has determined to return to the front.
Every land is a god; A God neither heavenly nor earthly, but a God who manifests in the nation and whose voice can only be heard from the mouths of the people.
Vox populi, vox Dei
The voice of the people is the voice of God.
