What kind of person the Ayatollah was is completely irrelevant to the fact that the strikes on Iran are illegal and an attempt to overthrow one regime and replace it with another regime that kowtows to US-Israeli interests. If the Iranian government was exactly the same but was US-Israel allied instead, nothing would have been done. See: Saudi regime.

Talking only about the character of the Ayatollah and ignoring the criminal actions of the fascist US regime only helps Trump and helps to normalise these actions.
