It turns out that, in the history of Twitter, now X, the most-liked Farsi (Iranian) language post on that platform came from a source that may surprise you - Donald Trump.
The post reportedly says in part: “I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you.”
Now, among the members of the Iranian diaspora - people who oppose the rule of the mullahs in Iran, many of whom fled the country after the Islamic revolution - are forming an "Iranians for Trump" movement. As unlikely as that sounds, it makes more sense than one might think. //
Iran - Persia - is a nation and a people with a long history. It wasn't always a nutcase theocracy ruled by Bronze Age lunatics. It was, as recently as 1979, a modern nation. It could be again. Under a Kamala Harris presidency, though, the Iranian advocates for dumping the mullahs and returning some sanity to Persia won't stand a chance. And as long as the mullahs remain in power, Iran will continue to be the world's number-one state sponsor of terror. //
