🔶 Rubio: The Iranian authorities do not make decisions based on political logic alone.
In response to a question about the meaning of America's victory in the conflict with the Salami Republic, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday, November 13 (Evan 22), at the annual meeting of the "Federalist Association", that in order to understand Tehran's policy, one must understand the revolutionary nature of the ruling system in Iran and its role in its Shiite decision.
Referring to the power structure in the Republic of Salami, the US Secretary of State stated that although the administration of the government is the responsibility of government officials, the main direction of the country is in the hands of the "extremist clerics" and every important decision must be approved by them. He added that the decisions of Iranian officials are not based on political logic but "influenced by theology".
Rubio added that such an explanation may seem unusual in geopolitical discussions, but Iran cannot be understood without knowing this fact. He said: "These people are not the rulers of Iran. They don't care at all about the state of Iran's economy. These people are revolutionaries." The American Secretary of State also said that from his point of view, the revolutionary nature of the Islamic Republic is one of the main problems in dealing with the Iranian government.
Referring to the founding documents of the Islamic Republic, Rubio clarified that in this structure, the leader of the Islamic Republic is not only considered the leader of Iran, but the leadership of all Muslims, including the Sunnis, is considered for him, and bringing about a revolution is also part of the system's mission. Explaining the implications of this approach, he pointed to the Salami Republic's support for Hezbollah and Lebanese militia groups in Iraq and accused the Iranian government of playing a destructive role in the Syrian civil war.
