ep 259 of DYA: Roqayah and our newest contributor Hadi Hoteit on what led to Hezbollah entering the war against the US and Israel and the legacy of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in West Asia
thank you for listening and supporting us!
on the new DYA: historian and host of The Colony Archive Navid Zarrinnal joins @urorientalist.bsky.social and me on the phone from Tehran to discuss the US-Israeli attack, the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei, and how Iranians are responding
Seyyed Khamenei died with more dignity than anyone who abandoned Iran, who decided white people and Western imperialism were the lesser evil, will ever have in your meaningless lives. Oh you're relieved? Your dreams will be laughed at and forgotten. He will be a hero forever
