Another observation is many exiled opposition figures including parts of their leadership openly sympathetic to Iranian authorities. I understand opposition to war as a position. However, sympathizing with or remaining silent about state repression is a different matter. To date, there has been little visible condemnation from these circles regarding the suppression of protests in Iran. How does an opposition movement end up to this conclusion even living in Europe where political and intellectual environments have largely condemned repression. One possible explanation is the absence of independent analytical frameworks within parts of this opposition. It is a big weakness that ultimately needs to be addressed.

Seeing nearly 99% of commenters expressing support for Iran’s authorities may reflect a perception among many Tajiks that they share a broader civilizational identity with Iranians through Persian language and history. Yet this overlooks the deep cultural divergence that occurred during the Soviet period, when Tajiks developed under a different ideology and alphabet. What we may now be witnessing is the emergence of a new identity dynamic — something resembling “Ayatollah-influenced Tajiks,” which even Tajik authorities likely never anticipated or intended. The sad part is that the model many seem to admire is the one we see in Iran today — a system facing deep economic and political challenges. This identity trajectory does not offer a promising future.

I am in the 1% who want to see Iran become a Westernized country that is strong, not a proxy of China or Russia, and with the most advanced economy in the region so it can help the entire Middle East and the world flourish.
