>>”The other is “imha” which means “fading out,” and, finally, there is “zaval” meaning “effacement.”(continued)”<<
Neither “imha” nor “zawal” are persian words.
“Imha” is Turkish I believe (Khamenei, ethnically, is actually an Azari Turk himself). “Zawal” is an arabic word.
I think it is interesting that those 2 words are used - seems to me they are meant to have ‘a broader appeal’, to the muslim world.
