Tbf if you count Zakat, Islam does let you get away with some sin so long as you give money to people in need, tho I don't think old men running the government are exactly "people in need."

You think this money will go to "old men running the government"? It goes into the state's budget like all other revenue. This complaint is like complaining speeding fines will go to old men running the government.

Whether you agree or disagree with these fines, it's indisputable that iran still has a more functional, less corrupt government than say, Egypt or Saudi or Kuwait or Iraq or any number of regional US allies

It will go towards missiles which can be shot at Israel in this case. A good cause.
