Yesterday, the Supreme Leader of Iran was confirmed dead. For thirty-six years Khamenei presided over a regime that hanged dissidents, crushed women, armed proxies bent on annihilating the Jewish state, and held its own people hostage to a theocratic vision they never chose. We do not celebrate death, but we refuse to mourn tyranny. Even now, Iranian missiles have killed civilians in Tel Aviv, Beit Shemesh, and the UAE, we condemn every attack on sleeping families unequivocally. Our gaze turns also to the people of Iran, heirs to the civilization of Cyrus who liberated the Jews from Babylon, whose longing for freedom is sacred. This is a moment of extraordinary volatility and we will not pretend to certainties that don’t yet exist, but we offer moral clarity: a tyrant’s end alone is not occasion for triumph, not until Iran’s people know freedom. Every innocent life lost diminishes us all. We stand with the bereaved, the besieged, and all who deserve to shape their own destiny.
