God. Yes, I mean you. They say you sit up there claiming to be just. Look down here. Look at my Iran. Come on, damn it, look at the mess you made. Look at what my people have endured under your justice. You give blessings and then expect gratitude? What blessings, exactly? And to whom? Do you sit there enjoying the sight of your slaves bent in prayer? Do you want sacrifices, while they wait for your forgiveness and your grand pronouncements? And then you say you love your servants? No. Say nothing. I have no patience for your sophistry. I came to ask: did you take my God from me in 1979 just to show us your power? I came to tell you we are not the generation of 1979. We will not be fooled by your agents' glitter and nonsense. Step aside. We have a God of our own. We will bring back the god of our country, our king, and sweep away the trappings of your Solomon's throne. #جاویدشاه
