Khamenei gave a speech yesterday that literally no one believes - and it might symbolize his own downfall

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei gave a speech yesterday to a large group of women.

The main takeaway is that his words have become irrelevant, and everyone knows it.

Khamenei warned that any Israeli attempts to target Hezbollah through Syria would lead to Israel's own destruction while pledging continued support for regional resistance movements.

'The Zionist regime is preparing itself through Syria, in their imagination, to besiege and eradicate Hezbollah, but it is Israel that will be eradicated,' Khamenei said in a speech to thousands in Tehran.

Addressing Assad's fall, he dismissed claims of the resistance axis's weakening: 'With the events that occurred in Syria, and with the crimes of the Zionist (Israel) regime and America and others' help to them, enemies thought the resistance issue was finished, but they are deeply mistaken.'

His specific words about women were even more absurd that his fantasies about the strength of the "axis of resistance."

“Everyone, especially women, should be vigilant about the enemy’s soft tactics and not be deceived by slogans and temptations,” Khamenei said in a meeting with a group of women on Tuesday.
"They label it as defending women, advocating for women's rights, or supporting a group of women," he added, pointing to the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement. "Yet, under the pretext of defending a single woman, they incite unrest in the country."

He said this only days after his government was forced to postpone a proposed draconian law to severely punish women who don't cover their hair properly according to the mullahs' standards. Khamenei probably engineered this speech to make it appear that Iranian women support him when they were the ones who forced the law to be stopped, at least for now.

Dictators think they can change reality by making declarations. They lie so much that they start believing their own lies. They consistently underestimate the intelligence of their own people. By doing so, they sow the seeds of their own downfall.

This speech was not even well covered in Iranian media, perhaps out of embarrassment. Because when no one listens to or believes the words of their leaders, they cease to be leaders.
