MEK Rebuttal to Time Magazine Article, “Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Is One Despot Trump Might Not Win Over” Written by Shahin Gobadi on  19 October 2019 . The following rebuttal was provided to Time magazine in response to its October 4, 2019 article entitled, “Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Is One Despot Trump Might Not Win Over.”   As the magazine has failed to publish our response, it is being posted here .   PARROTING TEHRAN’S NARRATIVE By Shahin Gobadi There is only one way to explain “Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Is One Despot Trump Might Not Win Over”, (Time, October 4, 2019) mistaken assessment of the status of the clerical regime, and its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
