🇮🇷Know Your Adversary… Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, Not a Fortunate Son | Sonar21

I say adversary instead of enemy. Mr. Khamenei and the Iranian people are not the enemies of the US. They did not attack us on February 28, we attacked them… And we did so while the Iranians were engaged in good faith negotiations, or so they thought. Iran’s new Ayatollah shares something in common with President John F. Kennedy and President George H. W. Bush… He’s a combat veteran.

I think it is important that the American people understand that Mojtaba Khameni was a 17 year old boy from a privileged family — sort of like Baron Trump — who ignored his father, enlisted, fought on the front lines in that war with Iraq and was wounded. He absolutely knows the cost of war.

Footnote : "The eight-year bloody Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) stands out as the longest conventional military conflict in the twentieth century. By its end, the conflict had killed or wounded more than one million people on both sides"
