Yes that's true, because as I said in earlier posts, whatever Iran does, right or wrong, it is automatically counted as the general Shia behaviour/viewpoint. Think about all the events when the Islamic Revolution happened. Think about all the justice in Iran going on from the beginning of the revolution until today, it is all done in the name of SHIA ISLAM.
So, Shia Islam can't be a tool for dictatorships, can't be a tool for politics, because it is beyond all those, it is sacred.
Many prominent Ayatollahs refused the idea of establishing an Islamic Government when revolution happened, they weren't arrogants, they were aware of these truths.
We don't need a government above us to protect us or dictate what should we do globally. Russia is secular, China is secular, Europe is secular, but still they intervene in middle east so could a secular Iran.
