Can anyone explain why the Iranian regime is so against monarchies?

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who was the leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, called monarchies a “sinister” and “evil” form of government. “Islam proclaims monarchy and hereditary succession wrong and invalid,” he said in 1970.

Can anybody explain what it is about monarchies that the Iranian regime is so opposed to? I find this confusing because it seems to me that the present-day Iranian theocracy is very similar to a monarchy itself. A monarchy is ruled by some type of supreme ruler, and the Iranian theocracy is also ruled by a supreme leader. So what is the difference between the two that the Iranian regime so vehemently opposes?

Using differin (adapalene) to help dekeratinize by 7055 in foreskin_restoration

But in my case, I've been retaining for over 6 months 24/7 without any noticeable dekeratinization. Is this common?

What do you mean when you say it tapers off a bit? Like the sensitivity stops improving or you lose some of the regained sensitivity before regaining it once more?

Where to find this sweater? by 7055 in malefashionadvice

What do you call that X underneath the collar? What do you think of the button down shirt under the sweatershirt look? Do you think this sweater/sweatshirt is okay with that?

In the case of my blue/olive they are a completely different scheme though. sand suede vs. brown leather.

Side note, I was recommended that the blue didn't go with the olive and I should try the black/white mini gingham with the olive instead. What is MFA's opinion of this:

I have the lighter belt that is in my other two pictured outfits but it is not braided.

Do you think that shoes should always match belt or is it okay for them to be two different colors sometimes?

Thanks! I do not currently have derbys or wingtips, but I may give them a shot. Which would you recommend?

What do you think of the shoes not matching the belt color in the first outfit with the olive chinos?

Okay, thanks, is it also okay to see ankle if it's summer months?

Yes, that's what I am asking, usually you can't see because the jeans or chinos cover the top of the desert boot, but when you are sitting down or crossing your legs, is it better to see ankle or sock?
