Firstly, Iran didn't do anything in 1988 - but kill some CIA-Backed TERRORISTS (from the MeK CULT) who were engaging in organized TREASON.
Iran was attacked by Iraq, with Chemical weapons, that the US' Empire GAVE to Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Government, and put him up to using against them. The MeK were fighting on the Iraqi side. They are universally despised within Iran.
The US history of abuses against Iran go back at least to 1953, when we overthrew their lawful Government (OPERATION AJAX) and then installed a brutal dictator over them, and trained his secret police in torture and oppression.
Then when people rose up to overthrow the Shah - the CIA, MI-6 and Mossad collaborated to ensure that his Government was replaced by a conservative theocracy. They broke the Ayatollah Khomeini (the predecessor of the guy they just killed) out of house arrest - and sent him to Paris, by way of Iraq. While in Paris they propagated his speeches back into Iran, using the BBC's shortwave Farsi radio. service. They were afraid of the leftists and college students, who'd largely been behind overthrowning the Shah, gaining power in the Revolution. So they backed the Shia Clerics, since that's the largest religion in the country. They were likely involved in the 2nd break-in at the US Embassy, and the ensuing hostage crisis that embarrassed Jimmy Carter, and handed the election to Reagan.
They Mullahs are popular, and it prevented any alliances or fraternization with the USSR. They're still overwhelmingly popular amongst Iranians - even moreso, now that we've made Khameini a martyr.
It doesn't really matter if you're a Zionist - Trump and the US Congress is, undeniably. So not actively opposing Zionism is tacit support. Doing nothing on a moving train isn't being neutral.
How many people has any legal system killed - ? Unlike Trump, I don't think the Ayatollah has ever killed anyone personally. Spies and people working for hostile foreign Governments, that are actively committing acts of war against the country you're from - is liable to get you killed in any country on Earth - just using guns and molotovs against the police and National Guard will. I don't you can show that the lawful Government of Iran has done anything as egregious as the deliberate murders of Fred Hampton and the Black Panthers. They haven't burned down a farm house full of women and children like in Waco, or dropped a bomb from a helicopter like the FBI did to the MOVE organization's house, burning down a whole neighborhood, and holding firefighters away.
Certainly the US and Zionist AbomiNation Governments are the last people on Earth, to claim to be Judge, Juries and Executioners - over Human Rights Law Violations. But in general, no - I've never seen any evidence that Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameini ever did anything to justify being murdered in his Office, in his home. Unlike Netanyahu (Milikowsky) he's not the subject of an outstanding Warrant for Arrest and Prosecution for War Crimes and Violations of the Genocide Convention. Do you blame US Presidents for every death penalty case that gets carried out, in America, after due process, in Courts.
This is one of the many personalization and demonization strategies employed as part of dishonest War Propaganda. Professor Stoessinger had identified this pattern of the consent manufacturing process, long before the first Gulf War in the 1990's. These kinds of childish rationalizations, are NEVER the real reasons behind why Nations go to War.
