Geopolitics

Masih Alinejad, a polarizing figure both within Iran and among the Iranian diaspora for her cozy relationship with the U.S. government — especially its neocon elements and war hawks — nevertheless assesses that Iranian civilians are essentially hostages of Khamenei and notes the impossibility of rapidly evacuating a metro area the size of Tehran.

This, to me, is rather like U.S. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) sounding the call for reason and restraint re: U.S. military intervention.

Telling 10 million people in Tehran to evacuate is not just unrealistic, it’s impossible. The airports are shut. The roads  are blocked and not everyone has a car. The entire nation is being held hostage by the Islamic Republic. Your enemy is @khamenei_ir , not with the innocent https://t.co/sfVbfhmz72
