Many of my Israeli followers ask me the same question: “Do you think Iranians will want peace with Israel after the fall of the Islamic regime?”

Given that the Islamic regime occupying Iran and its mega mafia paramilitary arm, the IRGC, represent the greatest existential threat to Israel, the only Jewish state in the world encompassing an area a third the size of Tasmania – such scepticism is entirely valid.

While Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has stated that recognising Israel would be among the very first diplomatic steps of a post-Islamic Republic Iran through initiatives such as the proposed Cyrus Accords, I want to address this question from a deeper cultural and philosophical perspective – from the soul of the Iranian people themselves.

Antisemitism is not indigenous to Iranian identity. It is a political and ideological import largely tied to the Islamic conquest.

Iran currently stands at a crossroads between an imposed Islamic ideology and the rediscovery of its historical and philosophical foundations. When Khomeini returned to Tehran in 1979, he established a revolutionary globalist theocratic system that placed hostility toward Israel at the centre of its geopolitical doctrine, rooted in ideological narratives dating back to the Islamic invasion in the seventh century. The regime’s worldview relies heavily on external enemies, with Israel portrayed as the “Little Satan”.
