It has been touched upon for years, then fell off the news wagon because of other events.

The attacks are unjustified, but this narrative of "the media had no problem with Iran" when again, in the past years, executions and state violence carried out by Iran have been reported, is false.

They hanged a man on the anniversary of Kian's death. Kian was a 10 year old who got shot by security forces. So the IRI pinned the murder on someone else and hanged him. Two years earlier Basijis first kidnapped a 16 year from the protests, then raped and beat her to death. They returned her body two weeks later, claiming she jumped off a building. Those were two of the at least 551 deaths during those protests. The US reported 19 deaths during the George Floyd protests. 19 too much. Not on the same scale as Iran. Domestically, those two are not (nah, were not, don't know what the Dons gonna do) comparable.

I have in-laws in Iran. That "crap" wasn't overblown, people got beaten and raped for protesting.

So yeah, Im not gonna cry about Iranian hits on Israeli industry or military bases, but I'm not gonna celebrate Iran either.

"hey, so if we think you published classified info, you're gonna get killed. Is that okay with you guys? Thanks for being so understanding."

I don't want to be mean but did you live under a rock in 2022-2023?

You're responding an awful lot for someone who doesn't care :)

That's the first coherent take you had so far.

Lol, my gf is not Iranian then. Thanks for letting me know. I'll tell to just not bother with putting on a hijab anymore when she visits her family.

The bombing campaign will do absolutely nothing to topple the regime. Israel has now hit orphanages and residential areas.

The people already hate this regime.

Also known as putting words into people's mouths.

Ask any Iranian woman. Jina got beaten to death for not wearing her veil correctly.

Shut, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck up.

In 2009, the government killed 1.500 people because they went out to ask were their votes went. 10 years later they killed the same amount because people protested an overnight gas price hike of 100%. Then they killed a similar amount, because they beat a Kurdish woman to death for not wearing a hijab. Last year, a wave of gas attacks on girls schools happened and the government looked the other way.

Mossadegh would have led Iran to a better future. Both the Shah and the IRI Ran It into the ground.
