Theoretically sure. But the regime he sold it to go toppled like three times over. So it's not the same people anymore and the context he could provide is out of date and ... checks notes still based on his treasonous actions.

    No. The current constitution is what they got after the revolution in 1979. Khomeini was supreme leader until 1989. Khamenei somehow got himself appointed to successor just in time. The successor he replaced was against mass executions and stuff. Funny how it goes.

    I'm sure as hell not defending him, but your point is valid and why him being against them having missiles isn't necessarily a contradiction. "Them" isn't the same them that he sold to. Again, not defending him and I haven't listen to anything he's said recently to know his stance (nor do I really care to), but just keeping my own logic in check.
