There is an Iranian expansionist project at the expense of the countries of the region, so we find it supporting any Shiite group and also providing them with weapons and money.

Again that's what the propaganda wants you to believe. Iran is a Shia Muslim country but majority of the people Iran supports are not. The most obvious ones are the Palestinians who are Sunni Muslims, Jews and Christians.

This is also what Iran wants us to believe. I mean, are we supposed to believe that Iran wants to spread peace in the world and allocates budgets for it and prepares plans for it and exposes its people to danger, without having direct interests? Does anyone really believe that? Okay, let's take a similar example. America has been in Afghanistan since 2001. What is it doing? It is said that it supports individual freedoms and human rights are violated in Afghanistan, so its mission is to overthrow the Taliban regime and hand over power to civilians. Is this really the truth? The truth is that America went and colonized Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting terrorism and could not withstand the blows of the Afghan resistance. As soon as America announced the withdrawal of its forces from there, the Taliban quickly returned to power. What do we understand? That any party may justify committing atrocities in the name of human rights, fighting terrorism and resisting Zionism, and this becomes a pretext for interfering in the internal affairs of countries.

Returning to Iran, I respect its position in support of the Palestinian resistance, although I know that it supports it only because it opposes Israel according to the logic of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” but I do not understand why it supports the Hamas militia and does not support other resistance factions. It also supports Hezbollah to confront Israel, but this becomes dangerous when it supports Hezbollah in directing its weapons against the Lebanese and imposing authority using violence. Let us not forget that Hezbollah was involved in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri and obstructed all initiatives to establish a consensus government and prevented Lebanon from even having a head of state. Iran also supports the Syrian regime, although everyone knows that it is an unpatriotic regime that kills Syrians and has displaced millions. Anyone who tries to protest or object will be told that you are against the resistance and will be easily accused of treason. With the exception of almost all the Sunni Hamas movement, Iran supports all the Shiite groups in the region, who are mainly concentrated in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Is Iran really that keen to play the role of the dove of peace? Does anyone really believe this? If so, then there are certainly those who believe America's support for Israel under the same pretext.

It is true that there is a resistance movement against the Zionist project in the region and Iran supports the resistance, but in return for what? A rationale must be found away from all the hollow slogans in the name of democracy and freedom. Iran has an expansionist project and wants to preserve its agents and interests, and this is a legitimate right for it like any colonial state like America, Britain and France. Other than this, there do not seem to be any other logical reasons.

As for Iran's position rejecting the policies of apartheid in South Africa, this is a humanitarian position adopted by most countries of the world at the time and cannot be considered absolute support as is the case with its armed militias. I hope that Iran will intervene to resolve the humanitarian and civilizational crisis of the Kurds who are scattered without a state between Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran, or that the disputes surrounding it will be resolved with humanitarian logic such as the Armenian crisis with Turkey or the humanitarian tragedy that the Afghan people are living in. I wonder why Iran does not support freedoms in these countries with weapons and money as it does with its militias.

I repeat, I am with Iranian support for resistance movements against the Zionist colonial scheme, but I warn that Iran also has its expansionist schemes and it is not an angel of peace.
