it’s almost the same script of Syria too lol
They’re telling the truth about Iran killing huge numbers of their own citizens to crush the protests. It was in the 30000 range like a week ago. They are lying that they actually care about that.
No, no, no you dont understand. This time the humanitarian concerns of neocons is real and definitely not a pretext for regime change.
Hi.I’am from iran please ask me anything that you have doubt about it and i probably able to show you evidence. (Sorry for bad English)
From what I have read Iran doesn’t seem like a very good place to be these days. A lot of violence is shown, especially against women and girls. Religious extremism also looks quite scary to me. My question is how do you feel about your country and how is it different from the way it’s being represented in the media? (Assuming you track western news I guess).
Thank you for taking questions, I hope you and your family are safe and cared for.
How’s the internet access in the country right now? Only people with starlink get to connect at all?
so for now we can hardly find some proxy config for access to internet. in general i can say 6/10 of people have access but we have some problem. in past 5 years they try to make Iran internet to intranet you can read about it here : https://powell-software.com/resources/blog/difference-between-intranet-and-internet/ in the one of the firsts day of Protests (Jan 8 2026) they change our access from internet to “iran intranet” and also closing telephone lines(They wanted the protesters to have no access to calls, so that they would no longer be able to communicate with each other even by calling.), and this status continued for 13 day i guess. and from then until now they filter some of proxy protocol like vless, but this mfs can every time they want change this conditions to intranet.i hope i help ,sorry again for my english.
Ahh, I see the over bearing, authoritarian, theocratic government we instilled is now no longer useful.
Who do you think “installed” the Iranian government?
I believe Iran is going through a new worker-led revolution and that the current theocratic regime is certainly gunning down protesters and the US is scared of what’ll happen if the workers rise to power so they want regime change instead.
It started with a currency crash (which is most likely a result of US manipulation). That failed, because the Iranian government didn’t immediately oppress business owners whose demands (not to sell at a loss) were found to be reasonable.
Then at least four different groups (including monarchists and Kurdish separatists) started killing civilians, police forces, setting mosques on fire, and so on (there’s footage for all of this, if you have the stomach to watch it).
The Iranian government responded to that by shutting down the internet, and with force. When they shut down the internet the riots more or less stopped, which signals that the operations were conducted from abroad, the obvious candidates being the US and Israel.
Furthermore, there have been millions of Iranians rallying in support of their government all over their country, which makes sense as foreign led violence can only push you closer to your government.
You can’t have a workers revolution without an organized vanguard and class consciousness. This is just old school terrorism by reactionary groups supporting a regime change to install a US puppet, like we’ve seen time and time again.
I make no moral judgement on the government’s action, I’m just recounting the timeline of events.
Source for your outrageous claims that Kurdish separatists were killing civilians, and that the protests were US led?
Sounds a lot like you’re supporting fascism to me.
says the US supporter
…tune in tomorrow for the latest from “every accusation is a confession”
The US Empire and its vassals clearly want regime change in Iran. It’s a key strategic area for the Belt and Road Initiative, has lots of oil, and is the biggest regional supporter of the Palestinian resistance and the biggest threat to Israel. You’re letting yourself get swept up in a western-backed regime change operation on the side of Israel and the US, ie you’re projecting with your claims of fascism.
So now I’m fascist because I don’t support the Ayatollah? I’m pretty sure there are plenty of leftists who don’t like him.
I’m not getting swept up in anything, @orc_princess@lemmy.ml is making outrageous claims to justify theocratic fascists slaughtering civilians and I want them to prove their claims.
No, you’re aiding fascists by siding with Israel and the US Empire. There’s no organized, working class movement in Iran that was behind the protests, and in such conditions spontaneity gets swept up behind whatever is actively stirring the pot. Further, it’s factually proven that Israel and the US have been arming rioters and offering reward money for kills.
This is why reading theory is necessary for anyone on the left, otherwise you make fundamental errors and end up supporting fascists that would be far worse for Iranians than their current theocracy.
Sounds a lot like you’re supporting fascism to me.
I’m a communist, I support the free determination of all people, I just don’t support killing random ass civilians in the name of your self determination, and I wouldn’t trust any separatist movement that willingly sides with the US and/or Israel, for obvious reasons. I believe that the Kurdish struggle matters and they have the seeds to do something great, and this isn’t that.
The thing I think is that Iran is indeed an authoritarian theocratic regime and killed 3000 people confirmed by themselves, but so is Israel. The problem is the ipocricy in the judgement of a nation that should before look at it self and get that it’s not better than others. But we all know this
Most of those were civilians and security forces (2427 out of 3117). The other numbers floating around seem completely made up by NGOs and western media so it’s hard to know if there are more dead rioters.
how many is too many?
I agree, that’s why we all should condemn the western sanctions that made the local currency collapse and led people to starvation and violence
How many western regime change operations that inevitably create magnitudes more casualties is too many? Because that’s the “solution” that’s being talked about, not some actual people’s government
I’m not sure I understand the question, if you mean whether I trust any numbers the answer is no, but the government numbers are a good minimum estimate.
If the question is whether I support the Iranian government uncritically, the answer is also no, but based on past history it’s still an extremely stupid idea to support an intervention.
I believe Iranians deserve a break from the illegal sanctions that keep them struggling, once they can breathe they’ll decide in their own terms if they wanna reform or overthrow their government or whatever else.
Palestine also.
/s Yes they lied about Iraq but Iran is an authoritarian state that should be toppled. Two things can be true at once you know.
So many “fell for it again” awards need to be handed out these past few years.
What happens after it is toppled?
They greet us as liberators
That’s the problem
Freedom arrives in the form of an US-backed monarchy. Oh wait.
Democracy ofc then ISIS but one thing at a time /s
you know, installing some al-qaeda dissident on power but he’s totally fine now since he uses a suit.
Typical imperial core chauvinism. They know their governments are evil but still cling hard to the idea that they’re the best therefore every non western aligned country must be even more evil.
“If my country is evil while calling itself the leader of the free world, other countries must be super evil”
can you post the latest Time Magazine cover and point out its pushing war propaganda again ? thank you
I read this to the tune of Yakko’s World
