The dying of Iran’s supreme chief Ali Khamenei provides hope to the nation, his nephew, a France-based physician against the regime, informed AFP.
“Like most Iranians, I am happy,” Mahmoud Moradkhani, the son of considered one of Khamenei’s sisters, stated by phone from his dwelling in northern France.
“I am very happy about the death of Ali Khamenei. I think it’s a step forward, a hope,” he stated.
“War and military interventions slow down a bit political process, which is a bit regrettable, but maybe we had to go through this step,” stated the 62-year-old.
He predicted that the regime was unlikely to outlive Khamenei’s killing.
“The regime’s internal rivalries are such and it won’t be able to resist them, it’ll have to disappear and give the power to the people.”
He added: “I hope that the military interventions will cease and that the people will be able to express themselves in the streets. It is very difficult in this situation to ask the people to take to the streets, to demonstrate, and to overthrow the regime.”
