Bankless · Iran Unchained: How the Islamic Republic Holds Power and Why Protests Keep Returning | Sana Ebrahimi & Ameen Soleimani · 27 Jan 2026 podcast

And they have divine authority, meaning that

God has appointed them so if you are opposing them or raising against them you're raising against God that is precisely why in Iran if you oppose the regime

they will sentence you to death for waging war against God, Muharebe, because you raised against Ayatollah, who has divine authority by God.

So that's that.

I think it's very hard to distinguish.

It has things to do with religion.

because the goal of Khamenei and generally the Islamic Republic is to make this hegemonic religious authority and be the final arbiter of like true Islam in the Muslim world.

So the main objective here is to make Iran an Islamic-led country ruled by the clerics where

Khamenei, who is the velayat-e faqih, rule of the jurist, is the legitimate model of governance of Muslim world.

And Iran is treated as this ideological center in the Muslim world.

So all of these proxy groups, militias that you see, is to enforce this vision that Khamenei and...

has and Khomeini had for the Islamic Republic.

All of these like anti-Western rhetoric, all this resistance branding you see, these are all to serve like this purpose that turns basically clerical authority into like this transnational power.

Now,

One thing to remember, though, is that Khamenei is facing a really huge obstacle here.

Because Khamenei is a Shia Muslim leader.

And Shia Muslims are the minority group among Muslims.

The majority of Muslims in the world, like 1.2 billion Muslims, majority of them are Sunni Muslims.

And majority of Sunni Muslims do not even believe that Shi'ism is the real Islam.

So that's why Khamenei has this beef with Saudi Arabia, because Saudi is the hub of Sunni Muslims.
