[Video] - 'Trump Backstabbed Us!': Israel Freaks Out On Trump's Deal with Islamic Terrorist Iran; Netanyahu In Shock & Panic!

Trumpet has enhanced his intelligence operations, gathering insider information to pinpoint the location of the Supreme Leader's hidden bunker.
He has already killed one Ayatollah. There was a deputy Ayatollah that died in a suspicious helicopter crash just before the attack on Iran. And Hamas leader assassinated in Tehran to attend the funeral.
US and israel have been killing leaders of other nation like it's their right.

These are heads of rogue nations who deserve their lot. If they wanted to avoid death they should have behaved better.

The leader of the country should be determined by the people of the country. Whether peacefully or otherwise.
The rest should butt out.
Interference by outsiders makes the country more unstable.

Fully agree that leaders should be elected via free and fair elections.

However, in Iran the Guardian Council has sweeping constitutional authority in three main areas:
  • Veto power over legislation: It reviews all bills passed by the Majlis (parliament) for compatibility with the Iranian Constitution and Islamic law (Sharia). It can veto or require revisions to any bill. If disputes persist, they may go to the Expediency Council, but the Guardian Council acts as a powerful gatekeeper.


  • Disqualifying electoral candidates: It supervises elections and vets/approves or disqualifies candidates for parliamentary, presidential, local, and Assembly of Experts elections. It routinely disqualifies large numbers of candidates (often the vast majority), significantly shaping electoral outcomes.


  • Other roles include interpreting the Constitution.

This structure is enshrined in Iran's Constitution (notably Articles 91–99) and is a core feature of the Islamic Republic's system of "guardianship" to ensure laws and officials align with Islamic principles and the revolutionary framework. Sources like Wikipedia, Britannica, the Iran Data Portal, and think tanks (e.g., CFR) consistently confirm these details.
 
Now if US had not applied sanctions to Ayatollah regime, and instigated Iraq into a costly war, the people would be wealthier and removed ayatollah from office by now. Or curtailed his powers. The wealthier a nation becomes, the more tolerant and liberal they behave

Hasn't happened in China. Never happened in Singapore. If anything the opposite has occurred. The leaders use the success of a country as justification for ever tightening controls.

The gomen maybe the same. But the people's attitude is different. More westernised. And the gomen reduce it's control but unfortunately in china Xi Jinping reverse the idea.
In Singapore, PAP fear a Malay takeover. Hence it stand somewhat as Guardian for the chinese in the Malay archipelago.
