The only reason Israel, America's attack dog in the Middle East, has started a war of aggression on Iran is because Iran dares to oppose US foreign policy in the region. Had Iran got nuclear weapons they would be able to continue doing so with impunity.

That's it. All of that human rights, authoritarianism bullshit is propaganda for you, the westerner, to get your support for this imperialist war. The Mullahs hang gays from cranes so Israel should vaporize everyone in Iran, including the gays? Women who don't want to wear headscarves are being tortured so we will bomb all their apartment buildings to rubble? An adult person with average intelligence should be able to see themselves through the logic that a war with Iran is not going to improve an Iranian's circumstances in any way. Do not support this war.

it’s not like Iran isn’t known for authoritarianism and human rights abuses.

Iran certainly has its problems, but they don’t hold a candle to Israel’s (or the US’s) human rights abuses.

Meanwhile Iran has as much right to develop nukes as any country: precisely zero.

Okay? Iran isn’t even developing any, while Israel has had hundreds for decades, which they developed in secret as a rogue state.

Anything to stop the ongoing Israeli genocide. A tonne of that crap about Iran is just overblown fear mongering from the west anyways. They've got their issues sure but not much worse than the US

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.

19 too much.

Weight until you hear how many people the US has murdered overseas. Though I know westerners don't care about foreigners.
