Iran's 'Holy Mission' Ideology Fuels Regime Extremism in Believers Like Mehdi Ghadimi
Iran's ruling ideology is fueled by a messianic doctrine that declares its followers as part of a 'small group chosen by God' to revive God's mission, leading to extremist behavior. This holy mission is deeply ingrained in the country's political system and has contributed to regime extremism.
Iran's ruling ideology, fueled by a 'holy mission' and messianic doctrine, has driven extremist policies within the regime. Mehdi Ghadimi, an Iranian opposition activist, was taught from childhood that he is part of a small group chosen by God to revive God's teachings, further solidifying the notion of a divine mandate. This ideology has led to severe restrictions on dissent and individual freedoms, and has contributed to widespread human rights abuses under the regime. The concept is deeply ingrained in Iran's ruling system, with significant implications for its domestic and foreign policies.
