An Iranian’s perspective

Exactly. Except ALL the Iranians I know call themselves Persian.

OP, do you think the US government should get involved in regime change in another country? It’s going to be one of those “if you break it, you buy it” situations again, like with Iraq.

Iran has treated all Jews citizens with respect. How does the US and Israel repay that with bombings and killing.

Respectfully, “Iran has treated all Jews citizens with respect” is naked propaganda. If you wish to educate yourself, speak to literally amy Iranian Jew. There are tens of thousands of them in Los Angeles and they didn’t move there for the weather, I’ll tell you that much.

Again, feel free to test me. I’m an open book.

DP. Same. But also, there's a reason for that...

What people don’t understand about Iran is that there is no succession plan for Khamenei. There are no tribal or ethnic or religious factions waiting in the wings. The Iranian people are largely united in their hatred of the regime and their desire for freedom and democracy. None of these things were true of Iraq or Afghanistan. I believe that if the US or Israel clears the way, the Iranian people will take care of regime change all on their own. They are an incredibly brave and resilient people.

You think if OP started with “I am Persian” that the majority of Americans would know what that meant? People here are incredibly ignorant. I just watched a clip of Whoopi Goldberg claiming that in 2025 it’s somehow worse to be black in America than it is to be a woman in Iran, where you can be killed for going out in public with your hair uncovered. The ignorance of people is mind-boggling. I don’t doubt that op is from Iran and speaking the truth.

I can promise you Iranians are not going around calling themselves “Persian” except to Americans (and even then, only to shield themselves from potential bigotry).

British/US interests have been engaged in awful and terrible operations long before they overthrew Mossadegh in 1953. Sadly, most American are pretty ignorant about our involvement in all the sorts of nefarious things we did over there.

Their hostility to us is well-deserved.

Excellent post, OP. I have no doubt these are your thoughts and are drawn from your experiences.

I agree with everything you said.
Thank you for taking the time to educate those who are open to listening.

Why can’t the people of Iran move for a regime change? Why is it on the rest of the world?

You should go back to Iran and start a resistance. Not our country, not our problem

I think op answered that.
They will. After the threat of a nuclear armed Iran is removed.

My point is that it is your problem, as an American. A nuclear armed Iran does not benefit you. Iran is an unpredictable rogue state that sowed chaos and exported terror for decades, and that’s without nukes. Americans should not let a preference for isolationism, distaste for Israel, etc. blind them to this reality.
