Ali Khamenei, May 2011: The people of Bahrain are protesting, and their protest is justified. They are making a mistake by confronting the people. It's useless. You might apply some pressure, commit some brutality, but this fire will not be extinguished. At some point, things will spiral so far out of your control that there will be no way to stitch it back together. hafezeh_tarikhi [historical_memory] 📡 @VahidOnline
