These Are Not Holy Wars — They’re His Wars

Wars Funded by the People, Fought for the Regime

Billions have been poured into proxy wars, missile programs, and militia networks — all in the name of “resistance.” But these wars have nothing to do with the everyday Persian struggling to survive. They are not our wars. They are his.

While families ration food, the regime funds weapons. While youth are jailed for singing, drones are shipped to Syria, Lebanon, Yemen.

There Is Nothing Sacred About It

Khamenei calls them holy wars — Jihad. Resistance. Defence of the oppressed. But there is nothing holy about secret deals, foreign militias, or blood paid for by borrowed futures.

The Prophet fought for justice. Khamenei fights for preservation. Of power. Of privilege. Of personal myth.

The Real Cost

• Thousands of young Iranians sent to die in foreign lands
• Billions wasted on militarisation instead of medicine, food, or dignity
• International isolation, economic collapse, and internal despair
• Deepening hatred and instability across the region

These wars have no winners — only damage, disillusionment, and distraction.

The Public Was Never Asked

No referendum. No vote. No choice. The regime declared war on behalf of a nation that never agreed. And now it hides behind slogans while children pay the price.

It’s Not Defence — It’s Deflection

When Khamenei says “Zionist threat,” read: *don’t look at my economy*. When he says “defending Islam,” read: *don’t ask why your wages are gone*. When he says “the oppressed,” read: *stay quiet or you’ll join them*.

These aren’t wars of liberation. They are wars of distraction. And they have nothing to do with the people of Iran.
