• What the lemmy libs really don’t get is that even if not every protestor is Mossad, the protests are caused by illegal sanctions of the country with the express purpose of starving people to the point of desperation so that western countries and their puppet Shah can resume resource extraction and using Iran as a geopolitical pawn. They do not care about anything else, everything else westerners are bringing up are not relevant to what is going on - gay people, women’s rights, workers rights, kurdish nationalism, baloch nationalism, MeK or any other thing besides destroying the industrial capacity of the world and enforcing periphery politics on the Iranian people. No one with understanding of Iran wants another power vacuum where material conditions will definitely get worse for everyone.

    The West has been obsessed with toppling the Iranian government since 1979. All their claims about concern for human rights are exposed as lies by their support for the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. It is hegemony and they can’t accept a government that is not subservient to their ambitions in the region.

      And a regime that gives gay people the death sentence and murders protestors ist any better? Iran needs a government that doesn’t suck up to the US but also treats it’s citizens well. It isn’t black and white where you either defend the current regime or support a US controlled one. You can have neither.

        Because US/Western regime changes always, always result in society in that country progressing, right? Never gets worse for anyone especially not minority groups, that would be un-American.

        Israel/US would just like to destroy Iran rather than improve it. It’s not a recipe for accepting input from them.

        Indeed, and that’s not something you can force upon them from the outaide. At some point a country’s people are (at least to a degree) responsible for how their coubtry is ran and by whom.

        Outside onfluence almost never works and always exploits the country in some way.

        The West is executing thousdsnds of little children by sniping them in the head. If you want to actually seriously do the moral comparison then yes Iran is better.

        You can have neither.

        Not through the current Mossad sponsored protests.

        And a regime that gives gay people the death sentence and murders protestors ist any better?

        Better have the Mossad and its agents destroy the country and make it worse for everyone, not just homosexuals. May you be cursed with one.

          It is pretty ridiculous to claim that all protestors are Mossad sponsored. And you are literally saying “who cares about homosexuals” by using Mossad as an excuse to not improve conditions for Iranians. Fascist.

            You are literally saying “who cares about homosexuals” by using Israel as an excuse to support Hamas who throws gays off roofs. Fascist.

              Instead of actually bring a counterargument, you come with the typical conspiracy crap. If anyone is fedposting, it’s you guys.

      Iran’s government responded sympathetically to the bazaar protests, providing them with police protection.

      Yeah, doubt

    Good thing Putin didn’t sign a peace agreement with Ukraine. Now with Trump’s planned invasion of Iran, a future US administration will be able to install missiles near the Caspian to threaten Russia, even if NATO fails badly in Ukraine. At the very least the US will control the air space and fly through it, with Iran defeated. Let’s hope that Trump has to pay a price for this course of action.
