When I visited Iran

Boastfully displaying their authority, the religious supreme leaders drawings -with slogans printed underneath- launched by a widespread propaganda appeared everywhere. The walls contagious and ill colored were connected by an air link of sadness and loss. Almost all of them echoed the message to the accuracy of the Islamic republic and the Iran-Iraq war. One painting in particular with paints applied to blister the eyes was this one showing Ayatollah Khamenei next to Shahid Hussein Fahmideh -the most celebrated martyr by the regime- a 13-year-old basiji student who stood in the path of an enemy tank with a grenade and sacrificed his life.
