The death of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei inspires hope in the country, said his cousin Mahmoud Moradkhani, who lives in France and opposes the Islamic Republic.
“Like most Iranians, I am happy,” the son of one of Khamenei’s sisters, who is a doctor, told France Presse, “I am very happy about Ali Khamenei’s death. I think this is a step forward, a hope.”
“War and military interventions slow down the political process a bit, which is a bit unfortunate, but maybe we had to go through it,” Moradkhani said.
He predicted that the Islamic regime will probably not be able to survive after the assassination of Khamenei. “The internal competition of the regime is so great that it will not be able to resist them, it must disappear and give the power to the people,” declared Mahmud Moradkhani.
