    The world has quickly disregarded the fact they only a couple of months ago they noisily and publicly executed 10s of thousands of protesters.

    Wasn’t 10,000s if you’re referring to Iran. Maybe stop watching Fox News.

      3000 admitted to by the Iranian government which is a disgrace no matter how you want to swing it

      7000 named and verified by HRANA with another 17,000 under investigation https://www.iranintl.com/en/202602021839.

      Over 30,000 based on eye witness testimony from doctors, morgue and cemetery workers and other witnesses.

      Thats from the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jan/27/iran-protests-death-toll-disappeared-bodies-mass-burials-30000-dead

      So no, nothing to do with Fox News. Maybe stop trying to defend a murderous regime eh?

            Hardly murders when the CIA has already admitted to trying to instigate another colour revolution and has been consistently trying to do so for the last 60 years.

            Maybe don’t try to rise up and overthrow your government when over 70% of the people approve of your government over western liberal democracy?

            Maybe don’t take AKs to your local riot when less than .001% of your neighborhood, much less country is participating in the riot?

            Maybe, like all organic revolutions, organize and get popular support before attempting to rise up instead of accepting CIA funding and weaponry to do Israel’s bidding?

            Yeah, it sucks Mossad had agents in Iran, and it sucks they were able to get the most disenfranchised people to essentially kill themselves using the government as a weapon. We should condemn the US and Israel’s role in this.

            But maybe the Iranian people, and this will be a shock to someone like you who openly posts CIA propaganda, DON’T WANT WHITE PEOPLE’S HELP.

                It is amazing how simplistic your world view is; truly it is impressive how little you seem to care to expand your knowledge or world view.

                A place being different does not mean you need to ride in on your high horse and foment chaos and destruction in the vague hope they’ll be more amicable to your corporate masters.

                Especially being on a .uk domain you should know that YOUR COUNTRY IS THE SOLE REASON IRAN IS A THEOCRATIC REPUBLIC. The sole reason. The literal only one.

                If you people would have just accepted not having them as a colonial resource state with a puppet regime and allowed them to nationalize their resources instead of letting BP continue to rape their land and air while paying them next to nothing, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A WESTERN LIBERAL DEMOCRACY IN IRAN STILL.

                But no, despite having a stable and developing Iran, you people decided it would be less harmful to install a monarchy and then when that didn’t work you people decided to do another revolution except oops, you failed and now it’s a theocratic republic.

                If Western powers had left Iran alone to develop into socialism, yes the UK would be poorer, yes Israel would have actual threats in the region, and yes the oil market in the 1970s would have been even more anti-western than it was; but Iran would be a beacon of democratic socialism on par with Norway.

                BUT YOU PEOPLE DIDN’T WANT THAT. Just like your criticisms now ring hollow as you advocate for civil war and revolution yet again despite knowing your false nonsense is the reason you criticize the current government.

                You, being a citizen of the UK, US, or Israel have no moral high ground. You are much more immoral than any muslim theocrat in iran. You are worse than any terrorist.

                  None of this changes the fact that Iran just murdered thousands of people.

                  Lemme guess, you think Russia were justified in their invasion of Ukraine and Kim Jong Un is an alright guy.

                    It is a complete mystery how the western imperial mind works.

                    What does Iran defending itself against Israel have to do with Russia’s Imperialism or North Korea’s defense against the ongoing invasion by the US?
