On November 12, 2025, Sheikh Naim Qassem—Hezbollah Secretary General—stated that “Imam Khamenei is the defender of fighters, human dignity, and the rights of the oppressed” (https://tinyurl.com/4ubzatpr). He was referring to the support of the Iranian regime to what the WANA News refers to as the “oppressed nations and resistance front” (https://tinyurl.com/4ubzatpr). As readers, we can guess that this refers to the Palestinian people, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc.”
From the BBC, we learned today the following: “In a speech on Saturday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said thousands had been killed, “some in an inhuman, savage manner”, and blamed the US for the deaths. A violent response to the unrest has claimed 3,090 lives, according to US-based Iranian Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), with some activist groups putting the death toll far higher. An internet blackout has made it extremely difficult to get clear information” (https://tinyurl.com/p2tz9232).
Can you imagine? We are talking about over 3000 people who, despite the persistent danger of torture and death penalty, rebelled to break free from one of the most oppressive regimes of the world. Their government repressed them in the most barbaric and inhuman way. Sadly, most of the world, and many of its journalists, seem indifferent with their continuous silence, when it comes to the struggle and suffering of the courageous people of Iran. What a contrast with the response to the suffering of the Palestinian people. So far, neither the USA nor Israel intervened and we have the impression that the Iranian victims died, in the most violent ways, for nothing.
To come back to Mr. Qassem’s statement, what does this Lebanese Sheikh have to say to the families of the victims of this massacre? How does he explain the oppression of his Iranian peer Ayatollah Khamenei toward his own people? Doesn’t he see the contradiction between the factual reality now and the illusion of his older statement?
We are talking about thousands of human beings who are of the same species as these two so-called spiritual men. Muslims of the same faith as them on top of that. May their memory be eternal and may their beautiful country finally see the change that it is craving for. It is overdue.
Once again, Bambi stands in full solidarity with the people of Iran, praying for the end of violence, healing, justice, peace, and LOVE for them and for the entire Middle East, including her birth country.
