Sadegh Zibakalam, retired professor of political science at Tehran University, has been labeled “the most dangerous man in Iran” by Tablet magazine for his readiness to challenge the Iranian regime.
As a political analyst, Zibakalam is giving voice to the groundswell of Iranians who refuse the regime’s insistence on hating Israel,
defiantly praising Netanyahu instead.
In a widely circulated lecture he gave on Jan. 20, at the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha entitled, “The Trump presidency and the 46 years of hostility between Iran and the US,” Zibakalam shared his observations of the phenomenon which he says has been taking place particularly since Oct. 7, 2023.
"If someone would have told me that, 'Sadegh, a day would come that Iranian people hate Palestinians and they would praise Netanyahu – of all the people – they would praise Netanyahu as the hero, I would've thought that he or she was out of his mind, he or she was talking nonsense, he or she didn't know anything about Iranian people. But I saw it with my own eyes during the past 15 months."
The IRGC has long held the goal of destroying Israel but Iranian young people are not going along with the plan. Every morning teachers lead their classes to chant, “Death to Israel! Death to America!” School corridors are paved with the Stars and Stripes and Magen David in order to be trampled by students, but now the rebellious youth are flatly refusing to go along with the expectations.
