There are Fourteen reasons why I like the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khaimani.
1. I like him for being a courageous leader who refuses to be a puppet of the Western world to the detriment of his people and the country at large.
2. I like him for his belief that there is no superpower in the world except God Almighty, the only true Superpower.
3. I like him because of his refusal to bow to Western interests, which has led to his demonization, vilification, and targeting by enemies of peace.
4. I like him for refusing to allow the resources of his country to be exploited by those parading themselves as global superpowers.
5. I like him because those who hate Muslims and Islam readily believe fabricated lies and media propaganda spread against him and the Islamic government he leads.
6. I like him because, despite decades of sanctions imposed on his country, he has not allowed them to deter national development, instead relying on available resources.
7. I like him for standing firm among Muslim leaders worldwide, resisting the prioritization of Western interests over those of his people and Muslims across the globe.
8. I like him for emphasizing national sovereignty and self-reliance, encouraging independence from foreign control and influence.
9. I like him for consistently advocating resistance against oppression and injustice, especially toward marginalized and vulnerable peoples.
10. I like him for promoting scientific advancement, education, and indigenous technological development despite external pressure.
11. I like him for maintaining ideological consistency and principled leadership over decades without compromising core values.
12. I like him for supporting unity among Muslims and calling for solidarity beyond ethnic and sectarian divisions.
13. I like him for prioritizing dignity, independence, and cultural identity over material gains offered by foreign powers.
14. I like him for demonstrating patience, resilience, and strategic restraint in the face of constant provocation and hostility.
O Allah, grant Your protection to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, safeguard the people of Iran, and protect all of humanity. Shield them from harm, oppression, and injustice. Fill their lands and the world with peace, wisdom, and mercy. Guide hearts toward truth, justice, and compassion, and keep all people safe under Your care. Ameen.
