Iran’s future will be decided by its people, not separatist factions - opinion

An opinion commentary argues that Iran's future must be determined by its own population rather than through the involvement of separatist factions. The piece warns that external powers who engage with marginal, transnational separatist groups risk alienating the patriotic majority of the Iranian public.

The commentary highlights the political risks associated with foreign intervention and alignment with fragmented opposition groups, emphasizing that domestic sentiment within Iran favors national unity over fractionalized separatism supported from abroad.
