Did I miss the thread on the current revolution going on to free Iran?

The differences between Israel and Iran theocracies are the Israeli racism, oppression and genocide.

I really can’t tell if this is supposed to be sarcastic.

DP. Is Iran involved in a genocide? Did Iran steal land to create a country that never existed? If the US had to choose between Israel or Iran as an ally you would take Iran in 10 out of 10 times.

Yes Iran has been involved in a genocide all while chanting Death to America and supporting terrorists who kill Americans.

Are people this ignorant or people genuinely would support Iran? Why do so many liberals support fundamentalists who kill gay men, support terrorism, and think it is acceptable to beat and subjugate women?

Israel blew up an Americans ship

Interesting. I had never heard of this before (NP). Based entirely on the linked Wikipedia entry, it’s impossible to tell whose claims are true, in terms of whether or not the Israelis knew the boat was American vs got confused and assumed it was Egyptian. There’s almost too much information out there. You could make a strong argument either way if you ignore evidence from the other side, but not after weighing all the Wiki evidence. The “knew it was American” side seems to make more logical sense, but there’s a big flaw when you ask what they would stand to gain from that, unless you jump to “false flag, blame the Egyptians” which is too far down Conspiracy Road for me to co-sign without better evidence.

Sorry, not related to Iran. Personally, I would love to see regime change in Iran but believe that’s up to the Iranians and not the US.

Sweetie what are you blabbering about exactly. It’s being reported in the New York Times, BbC, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera, WSJ, NPR, and other outlets. Maybe you should broaden your horizons when following the news.

Nope. Barely any coverage. Looking at WaPo and NYT now and doesn’t even make the scroll of headlines / major articles. Lots of coverage of the Swiss tragedy and Mamdani, though. CNN, WSJ are same. So no, it’s not getting the coverage warranted.

And to the poster who mentions “Zios”, we’re talking about Iran, not Israel. Different country and one that has been severely oppressed by an Islamist theocracy that has ravaged civil rights, brutally oppressed women, gays, and anyone seen as counter to the dictatorship for decades. Please don’t let your Israel Derangement Syndrome interfere with your understanding of what’s taking place in Iran, how significant it is, and how it’s so telling that the same people who are all about “freedom from colonizers” in the Middle East are strangely quiet.

The bolded is just another lie. Some of you posters lie just to be lying.

I looked at Al Jazeera yesterday, and nothing. Was not until this morning that a single story appeared.

This is Al Jazeera reporting on the protests five days ago, December 29, 2025. They have been reporting every day since.

Yep. He is the same demented man who asked General Milley to shoot American citizens protesting in Lafyette Park.

So now Russia has gotten involved and told the US that it will support Iran. And people are opining that the war needs to be taken to US soil.

Iran has been hostile to American from day one of this regime in 1979 and has done nothing since to advance any kind of reconciliation or alliance with the US.

This theocratic regime has been oppressive and authoritarian and has horribly mismanaged Iran. They can go and maybe THEN we can become friends with its new government.

You really don't know what the US did to the Iranian people pre-1979, to cause the revolution do you. If only the USA had been a fair player, even now we still don't know how to play fair and have failed to learn the lesson. Yes, the people hate this regime, but do you really think they once they are deposed, and they eventually will be, that the Iranian people want to go back to pre-1979 under the thumb of an American imposed dictator who disappeared people

Nobody here said Iran was perfect under the Shah. Yes, it was authoritarian, and yes, they had SAVAK repress certain groups, such as marxists, islamists, and dissidents, however most Persians enjoyed quite a bit of freedom otherwise. But here's the thing - authoritarianism, repression and oppression and human rights abuses got FAR WORSE under the Ayatollahs. The Shah was not a good person. But ironically right now, the loudest voices within Iran rising up and calling for change are pro-Pahlavi so even that's recognized as being better than the current status quo. Bringing a sha back would not be ideal, but perhaps the opportunity would be a democratic, constitutional monarchy similar to the UK. Also not perfect, but at least a step in a better direction from where Iran is now.

Let them figure it out. Every time the UK or USA got involved it only made things worse for the ordinary Iranian. It's not like we don't have a lot of mess going on over here in our politics. Half the country wants to get rid of the other half, but we want to control the people half way around the world. No, just no.

"Letting them figure it out" is what gave us the Ayatollahs and their repression. And more broadly across the middle east, one crazy islamist terror group after another. And one corrupt, repressive regime after another. And most of the world's worst human rights abuses. And, continued modern-day slavery. I think maybe the ones allowed to do the figuring out need to be vetted for sanity and decency.

Sounds like zionist gibberish here. Maybe go read a book and learn how the US overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran to better understand the events leading to the rise of the Ayatollah.

Nope, it’s the other way around. Iran is attacking Israel and via Israel fighting a proxy war with the U.S.
You really are uneducated and clueless.
But might be Hamas or IRGC and hence a paid troll for Iran.

Sadly no. She is completely serious and knows nothing about how Iran is the country causing conflicts in the region and training, funding and giving a go to Hamas to execute October 07. Utter delusional moron.

So? All powers do that and Iran tries it best to overthrow governments.
