On the irony of cameras built to police Iranians (namely women) becoming the regime�s Achilles� heel

A tweet by a journalist.



-My daughter, what is your father's job?
- My dad takes pictures of women.
-In the studio?
-No, in the subway.

The cameras that had surveilled women for showing their hair, that had tracked protesters through city streets, that had sent threatening text messages to millions, those same cameras led the strike team to Khamenei�s door.

Edited to clarify which "Supreme Leader" in the title.
Even one is too many.

1. When I see "Supreme Leader"

I'm not sure who we are talking about.

2. I knew that when I copied the title.

I did the same to an OP when it said that "Supreme Leader" was dead.

I obviously said not to get my hopes up.

Totally agree.

Should I qualify that OP title?
Yes, I owe it to my DU friends.

3. I was kind of hoping for a post with some mockery or contempt.

So it works for either leader.

win/win

4. They shall soon meet.

IN HELL

Along with Jeffrey Epstein.

Hot there, so Donald will need to bring LOTS OF ICE with him.

All of it, in fact.
