The Moon Always Finds Its Way Out From Behind the Clouds
We, Iranians, have a saying: “The moon never stays behind the clouds.” This proverb is clear and suggests that the truth will eventually find its way to be revealed. As I mentioned in previous writings, one of the reasons Turkey is concerned is due to its large investments in the tourism sector. This concern is especially tied to the Islamic Republic’s policy of preventing the growth of Iran’s tourism industry. If the regime were to collapse, Iran would quickly become one of the main tourist destinations in the region, which would pose a significant threat to Turkey, which heavily relies on tourism revenue.
But today, I have come up with a new idea, one that I haven’t seen discussed much online. Maybe I haven’t searched thoroughly enough, but it seems like this is a new thought that future generations may explore and analyze. We’ve always heard about “Iran’s proxies” and talked about Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, whose ultimate goal is the destruction of Israel. But today, I wondered, why might Iran itself be a proxy for another group?
Iran as a Proxy for Another Actor
This question may seem simplistic at first, but when we delve deeper into it, all the separate images begin to come together, telling a meaningful story. In fact, my argument is this: if you want the “anti-Israel” narrative in which Iran plays a central role to end, you must overthrow the Islamic Republic. Now, consider the different scenarios:
- The Islamic Republic collapses, and the anti-Jewish sentiment weakens or disappears.
- The Islamic Republic collapses, but anti-Jewish sentiment remains unchanged.
In the first scenario, if anti-Jewish sentiment significantly weakens, it can be said that the Islamic Republic was the main actor in fueling this narrative. In this case, there is also the possibility that key actors, in order to avoid exposing their role and identity, might retreat or change their strategy because they lost their main proxy.
But in the second scenario, if anti-Jewish sentiment remains unchanged despite the fall of the Islamic Republic, it can be concluded that Iran was not only not the primary actor, but was also a tool and proxy for other groups pursuing their own interests. This line of thought, in my view, is a much stronger scenario.
Iran and Its Historical Opportunity for Itself and Others
One of the fascinating aspects of social and political phenomena is their multifaceted nature. Some dimensions of these phenomena may be bitter and disturbing, but ultimately the real beauty lies in their complexity and the layers they contain. Therefore, I can say that the Iranian people may have been fortunate to find themselves in the decision-making path of influential people who mistakenly think the Islamic Republic is the main player in the anti-Jewish sentiment. This error will ultimately benefit the Iranian people, as it will lead the country, after the fall of the Islamic regime, toward a nationalist and flourishing government.
A nationalist government could restore glory and peace to the Iranian people and work to ensure that they never again find themselves trapped in a dystopia where the minimum wage for a worker is only $120, while the government pays $500 a month to each Hamas and Hezbollah fighter.
A Historical Opportunity for Iranians, Jews, and Christians
Ultimately, this change represents a historical opportunity not only for Iranians but also for Jews and even Christians. Specifically for Iranians, if the Islamic Republic collapses, as history shows, Iran can rebuild its glory and prosperity, moving towards development and progress. For Jews, the fall of the Islamic Republic means the regime that openly expressed its hatred for them would be removed from the scene. In this case, if other groups take its place, they will either have to act directly or change their objectives. Either way, the anti-Jewish sentiment will be significantly weakened.
Christians will also benefit from these changes. The influence of radical Islam will be severely weakened—not because Iran specifically supported radical Islam, but because the main actors will be forced to retreat or change their strategies.
Conclusion: Future Generations and Future Analysis
Ultimately, we may not fully understand the implications of these analyses today. But what is clear is that these topics will certainly be analyzed and scrutinized in the future, and much of these analyses may prove useful for future generations.
Whether for Iran, Jews, or Christians, all will have a role in these historical changes, and these changes could create a new world. For Iranians, this is a historic opportunity that must be managed wisely, striving for a better future free from global threats and challenges.
