Amir Ali Hajizadeh was the air-force chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He was killed by Israel on June 13th 2025 during the opening strikes of the Israel-Iran war. He never apologised for his role in shooting down a passenger jet full of Iranian students in 2020. His death prompted cheers among young Iranians online, who called the dead generals "enemies of the people" for killing some 500 protesters who called for freedom from the regime's religious constraints in 2022.
'Educational' refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.
