A new #TIMEmagazine cover featuring Iran’s Supreme Leader #AliKhamenei has triggered online backlash, as users point out its striking resemblance to past covers of Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, two West Asian leaders who were later removed through devastating US-led regime change wars.

All three covers show their faces being wiped away; a haunting visual cue repeated across decades.

Israel’s US-backed war on Iran appears to be following the same playbook, with regime change being the goal all along.
