There is an old trick in argument, and it works by choosing the finish line before the race is run. You define victory as something your opponent was never trying to do, you note that he did not do it, and you call his failure to do it your triumph. This is the move at the heart of “Iran’s New Grand Strategy,” the Foreign Affairs essay published on June 3 by Narges Bajoghli and Vali Nasr. The authors observe that the Islamic Republic did not collapse under U.S. and Israeli bombardment, that no.

ANALYSIS – Useful Idiots? Or terrorist collaborators? Because the choice is that simple. For the majority of clueless brainwashed college students involved in the often-violent anti-Israel campus protests, I would say they fall under the category of useful idiots for Iran’s terror regime.

Others, including Palestinians and other foreigners, along with their hardcore leftist allies, are nothing but terrorist collaborators. (RELATED: Report: Iranian University Offering Scholarships To Expelled Anti-Israel Protestors)

And to make things even more clear, Iran’s Supreme Leader posted a message on X thanking American college students who have participated in pro-Palestine protests.

“Dear university students in the United States of America, you are standing on the right side of history,” Ali Khamenei wrote. That was for the useful idiots. But he didn’t leave it at that.

Khamenei then added, in an open letter to the terrorist collaborators on American campuses: “You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government’s ruthless pressure—a government which openly supports the usurper and brutal Zionist regime.” (RELATED: UCLA Students Clash After Video Allegedly Shows Jewish Girl Beaten Unconscious)

Iran is listed as one of the world’s greatest state sponsors of terrorism. It supports, funds, trains and arms the Hamas savages who committed the gruesome attack on Israeli civilians on October 7. That day Hamas murdered 1,200 people, including women and children.

The “Resistance Front,” refers to the alliance of Iran-backed terror groups and militias around the Middle East seeking to destroy Israel and kill American troops, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthis, Iraq’s Islamic Resistance and the Hamas terror group that rules Gaza.

If being recognized as being part of Iran’s global jihad isn’t enough to make Americans take note, nothing is.

Many would argue that this Iranian connection makes many of these pro-Hamas, anti-Israel activists, nothing more than terrorist supporters.

Understandably, the public reaction was swift, at least from commonsense folks. As Newsweek reported:

House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote on X: “When you’ve won the Ayatollah, you’ve lost America.”

A popular right-wing X account, End Wokeness, wrote: “Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that the Iranian Supreme Leader would be thanking a bunch of blue-haired atheists at Columbia.”

Several other X accounts, including the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and the Orthodox rabbi and adjunct professor David Bashevkin, suggested that having Khamenei’s support might suggest the protesters are actually on the wrong side of history.

Iranian American activist, Elica Le Bon, who often criticizes the Iranian regime as well as pro-Palestine protesters, wrote on X: “From the regime’s Supreme Leader to students in the U.S. How can it be right in front of them and they still can’t see it?”

Meanwhile, Khamenei encouraged leftist American professors. “The support and solidarity of your professors is a significant and consequential development. This can offer some measure of comfort in the face of your government’s police brutality and the pressures it is exerting on you,” he wrote.

Welcome to the new Islamist terrorist “Resistance,” coming to a university or college near you.
