DP. Speaking of dumbass ^^... do some research and maybe listen to *actual* Iranian people, not your totally made up version. While Iranians are worried about the consequences of the war, many also see it as a historic opportunity to bring an end to the regime’s rule. One reader of Independent Persian sent us this message from Tehran: “After a whole week, I finally managed to connect to the internet with great difficulty. I was hoping to get a few minutes of respite from the Islamic Republic’s depressing propaganda-filled news. I wanted to tell you that we are not afraid of war. “We fear nothing as much as the Islamic Republic remaining in power. We fear the [current rulers] will be discarded only to be replaced by the leftovers of the same system. “Speak up on our behalf and tell everyone that our internet has been shut off for 245 hours. Tell them that we have been turned into human shields. Tell them no evacuation orders are issued even for residents living near dangerous locations.” The young woman adds: “Tell them that the regime is arresting ordinary people simply for sharing information about the current situation in Iran, and accusing them of collaborating with Israel. “Tell the world that we wake up every morning to threatening text messages from the intelligence ministry and the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps]. “Tell them there is no safe place to take shelter, and that the only way for peace and security to return to Iran is the destruction of the Islamic Republic. If the war ends without the regime collapsing, it will lead to an even more horrific massacre.” This account is only one of dozens of messages received from inside Iran over the past 48 hours. In these accounts, people describe the hardships of wartime, but also speak about their hope that the Islamic Republic’s rule may finally come to an end. “The smell of burning in the air, the sound of explosions, windows shaking, sending one-word messages to our loved ones to let them know we are alive – these have become normal for us. What matters most are those innocent young people who were killed in January by the Islamic Republic’s gunfire and are no longer with us.” Nazila, a 32-year-old woman living in Tehran’s Saadat Abad district, describes how a missile struck an IRGC building near her home a few days earlier. “The explosion was so powerful that our windows shattered,” she says. “The walls of our house cracked, and my mother was in shock for several hours. “Despite all of that, when we realised the target was a military facility belonging to the IRGC, we felt something strange. There was fear, but also a kind of hope. It felt like, maybe this time, the end of this regime might truly be near.” According to Nazila, many of her neighbours share the same feelings. Despite concerns about the continuation of the war, they hope the final outcome will be the end of the Islamic Republic. “The first and second nights were very frightening,” he says. “But when we saw that most of the attacks were hitting Basij [a paramilitary group within the IRGC] bases, police stations, and military centres, our fear diminished. People say that if the regime is going to fall, we will endure this hardship.” Mohsen adds that his greatest fear, and that of many of his friends, is that the war might end while the Islamic Republic’s system remains intact. “If this regime survives, it will take revenge on the people,” he says. “The repression will begin again, and it may be even worse than before.” Nikita, a 24-year-old student in Tehran, describes how, after complaining about the loud noise made by Basij forces in her neighbourhood during mourning ceremonies for Ali Khamenei, security forces began reviewing surveillance camera footage from nearby shops in an effort to identify and arrest her. “Even the thought that we might once again be left alone with these people terrifies me,” she says. In many of these accounts, people stress that although war and destruction are painful, they believe rebuilding the country after the Islamic Republic is gone is entirely possible. Another Tehran resident writes in a message: “No matter how much destruction a war brings, we can rebuild afterwards. But if the Islamic Republic remains, it will keep killing thousands every year and destroy the country even further.” According to many readers of Independent Persian, their main concern is not the war itself but a future in which the Islamic Republic remains in power. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-us-war-tehran-regime-protests-persia-b2937531.html |

Israeli authors have written about the widespread terrorism the state of Israel engaged in to force Jews to leave their homes in the middle east and north Africa. Are you Israeli? You should know this obviously then. Here's one such author: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLaTcbeyNNp/ |

OMG. Now you're actually *denying* the Iranian regime killed thousands of their own people? And yes, there are many Iranian sources quoted in this article: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jan/27/iran-protests-death-toll-disappeared-bodies-mass-burials-30000-dead |

You are such a liar. No source, as usual. Meanwhile, four highly credible sources have been provided covering the Iranian massacres. No one's ever heard of your random "independent journalist." So, nice try on trying to peddle ever more Iranian propaganda. |

Instagram is your source??

Look an evil regime behaving in an evil way is not really news. Iran is going to Iran. The targeting of a girls school by our side is deeply distressing. It shows a lack of regard and care in military operations that should be extremely concerning to all of us. Your trying to equate that with Iranians behaving the way one expects makes zero sense. |

PP: Brb … note to self: undermine relevance of Instagram while working behind the scenes to initiate an acquisition of the asset from Meta to eliminate another source of content reflecting unfavorably on Israel. 😂 |

They also stole the babies of yemeni Jews and gave them to white Ashkenazi mothers. In tne 1950s, Palestinians and Mizrahi Jews formed an alliance. The Israeli black panther party was a party in the 1970s that consisted of mizrahi jews inspired by the American black panthers and complaining about the second class citizen and discrimination received by the state of Israel. At one point, Israel genuinely feared an alliance between Palestinians and Mizrahis due to common Arabic cultural markers like language so there was an effort by the right wing Likud party to remove Mizrahis from The far left and radicalize them to the far right https://youtu.be/RzeCOZfd7WM?si=QcO5bjCAoRVFRecX |

I would say your insistence that the U.S. deliberately targeted a girls' school - co-located with the ACTUAL target, a Naval base - makes zero sense. I understand that it suits your narrative, but really. It was a tragic mistake and not intentional. Now, the massacre of thousands of protesters and hanging of three by the Iranian regime was most definitely no mistake and completely intentional. Oh, and also deeply distressing. |

Word salad, as usual. You really need a good editor. |

Do you support the acquisition of media assets for the purpose of suppressing criticism of Israel? |

I did provide a source. An Israeli source. A woman said her photo was used as an example of a dead Iranian protestor. Israeli channel 12 reported this fake news |

| Hopefully Iran can incite protests and unrest that leads to population overthrowing the radical Zionists terrorists like Netanyahu, ben gvir and Smotrich so that there can finally some hope to peace in the middle east. |
