FROM THE PERSIAN CARPET STAINED WITH BLOOD

Iran, where, according to several sources, more than 20,000 people were killed in protests against the government, whose bodies are still on the streets because the cemeteries are full, the hospitals are full of wounded and the doctors who take care of them, arrested and persecuted, and full prisons. People protested shouting bread, work and freedom. Inflation for consecutive years has exceeded 50% per year, and the cost of food is exorbitant when compared to low wages. And a kilo of meat costs a minimum wage.

The country has been ruled by the ayatollahs since 1979, when they overthrew the Shah, who had been in power for 28 years. Even with attempts to modernize the country, with dollars gushing with the high price of oil, but governing with a bloodthirsty secret police, in a strong alliance with the US, it was the largest buyer of American weapons for decades, it was overthrown by Islamic radicals.

The theocratic regime, whose power is in the hands of the mullahs and their supreme leader, is worse off than the previous regime. On the one hand, the economy, under pressure from US sanctions and administered by the military of the Revolutionary Guard, the military arm of the Shiites, is a disaster. On the other hand, military spending, which totals 15 billion dollars a year officially, and more unofficially, produce military wonders such as missiles, drones and the effort to make the atomic bomb, but the people go hungry. Oil has low production and more than half of it goes to China. And in the context of a regime whose levels of corruption exceed imagination.

The biggest enemy of this regime is the USA, whose embassy in Tehran was invaded for 444 days in 1979, but with which, in the Reagan government, Republican, in 1985, an agreement was made to sell weapons and thus finance the war in Central America. The scandal of scandals, Irä- Cons. In Argentina, in 1994, the Jewish association Amia and the Embassy of Israel exploded. Paradoxically, they are linked to left-wing regimes in Latin America, especially Venezuela. And in the area of geopolitical influence, sponsors of terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, which operates on the triple border, in Lebanon and with the Houthis in Yemen.

The world complained little about the massacre of these weeks. It also underestimates that if they are allowed to produce an atomic bomb, Israel is not in danger, which they want to annihilate. A nuclear conflict will begin whose end is unpredictable. The permissiveness of countries, including Brazil, with this Shiite regime, which not only enslaved its own people, effectively represents a danger to humanity.

In this context, reading the book about the fall of the King of Kings, the Shah, and watching the Israeli series Tehran, or watching live TV, you are on the timeline of the most imminent danger to end what is still left of peace in the world. Due to the silence and lack of support for the people who revolted, we don't know what can still happen.
