I'm no fan of current Iranian governance, or even Hamas. I understand why they exist, but I wouldn't choose to live under their governments. That doesn't mean I want their leaders dying since I can see their importance to resisting US imperialism.
I would say this is like disagreeing with how China has developed since their revolution. Am I a huge fan of all of it? Of course not. That doesn't mean I would celebrate Xi dying or China dissolving it's communist party. Not to compare them to Iran too much, obviously very different things, but western "leftists" (they're liberals really most of the time) see them as "bad guys" with zero nuance or perspective. Important perspective such as no matter how authoritarian Iran is or brutal to its citizens (and i have no doubt that many stories have core truths to them. The stories we read about life there) will ever compare to the brutality the US empire has unleashed on places like Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq, Iran (hmm), entirety of South America, Mexico, etc. basically the entire globe. So, are they bad in some ways? Undoubtedly. But the bigger bad, that they resist, is the US military and empire. And this can't be forgotten. You don't have to praise Iran's government in order to see that it is the lesser evil compared to the US and also it only exists because of the US and now Israeli interference in the region.
And this lesser evil is ACTUALLY a a significantly less evil thing than the US, unlike how crakkker Demo-rats try to portray Biden as some kind of lesser evil over Trump although he's not.
Very weird to celebrate
