In this article, in Spanish, I've tried to explain Khomeini's political thought from an Islamist point of view (Islamism can be defined as a discourse that seeks to re-center Islam within the public realm of Muslim communities).

analiza la actual configuración política de Irán desde un punto de vista islamista. Para este cometido es imprescindible comprender la figura de Ruhollah Khomeini, el fundador, mediante una perspectiva política y no religiosa.

The Islamic revolution shocked the West. From a western perspective, the revolution was unthinkable because the mostazafin, for them, lacked the agency to make history. That's why, in my opinion, the Islamic revolution was a revolution against Western epistemology.

Zionism has nothing to do with Jewishness. It's a settler-colonial project. A land grabbing project built on an ontological difference.
Zionism is not and was not a response to the Holocaust. The settler-colonial zionist project pre-dates the Holocaust by decades.
The zionist narrative that so-called “israel” was established because of the Holocaust is a post-facto narrative created to justify zionism.

The West and its regional paws are in tatters. A bygone nodal point that still has enough power to cause death and destruction but the West has lost its hegemonic role.

I don't want to discuss the potential scenarios of Iranian retaliation (as we've all read articles speculating on various targets), but I do want to highlight the political naivety behind the notion that "Israel wants to de-escalate."
More likely is a performative retaliation that Iran claims is more effective than it is, but which leaves Israel room to deescalate, followed by efforts at “real” retaliation through terrorist attacks against Israeli targets, perhaps playing out over years. 2/2
