    And of course the US wants to jump in so that they can place their dictatorship back in Iran because that is just how the US rolls.

      Not sure. Trump mentioned it, but he talks all day and forgets it the next.

      Is there any immediate personal gain for him from this?

    Source: Rumors

    Read the article. It’s fucking CBS slop based on the vibes of two unnamed people, one not even in Iran.

    12,000 deaths, shut the fuck up. What an absolute joke of an article. Pathetic reporting from an empire who just sponsored a real extermination.

      I mean there’s the video of 400 bodies in one morgue. It could be fake, but the reporting is not based on vibes. Kind of sounds like you can’t accept that a religious fundamentalist dictatorship could murder its own citizens for thinking independently, despite that pattern repeating throughout history ad nauseum.

    Even if this ends the riots, it will likely not be for long. Maybe 6 months maybe a year. It’s impossible to know.
    But what is almost certain is that next time, the rioters will know the stakes, and they will riot with a lot more violence against the regime and any authorities that stand with the regime.
    For many conditions are now unlivable in Iran, and unless the regime can solve that, people will riot even when risking to get killed.

    This is awful. But really interesting from a linguistic perspective how the vocabulary and talking points differ between Iran and Israel when the situations are so similar.

      What is the similarity? Just dead people?

      This is a government killing its own people. Israel has been embroiled in a conflict with an outside nation, albeit a conflict of disproportionate forces.

      The guardians of the revolution, which are the actual regime, are thoroughly enkysted in every part of the structure of the country and will be difficult to dig out. The government and the mullahs are disposable.

    Those numbers likely either cement the regime or initiate even more bloodshed. They have proven that they will use any means to rule.
