FOUR DICTATORS — Part 4: Khamenei, The Last to Fall (SERIES FINALE)

History Onion · 2:59

Part 4 of FOUR DICTATORS — the finale. Ali Khamenei ruled Iran for thirty-six years. He inherited Khomeini's Islamic Republic, built the IRGC into a state within a state, and wove an axis of proxies across the Middle East — Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Shia militias in Iraq, Assad in Syria. He drew a specific lesson from Saddam and Gaddafi: never disarm. Never negotiate. Never trust the West. That doctrine survived every uprising, every sanction, every protest. Then October 7, 2023 came. Hamas attacked Israel. Israel did not negotiate.
