When someone counters your points with proof/ evidence you deflect and attack. - very sad.

Fake news and propaganda. Please see a video on X from Bushra who is not wearing a hijab and walking freely. Anyone who has actually been to Iran are aware what you sharing is lies and hate

Correction - Israel /US are destroying nations such as Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon. -Shame on people who support this action. By saying they are getting what they deserve is a very hateful comment which shows you lack empathy.

I did write that comment after @cubsfan made a disgusting comment how the Iranians sure look pathetic and getting what they deserve. That comment is extremely hurtful and shows lack of empathy. Was Israeli/US leaders mentioned in the Epstein emails? Maybe that's my lack of knowledge which you can fill me in on. I can promise you, no Islamic Shia leaders associated or was ever mentioned with the Epstein class.

I speak from a place of first-hand knowledge—I’ve lived in Iran, I have family there, and I visit frequently. My understanding of the country goes beyond what is typically reported here. What many people miss is that Iran is a complex, diverse nation where support for the government and national identity are deeply linked. Even with internal disagreements, I’ve seen Shias, Sunnis, and Jews come together in moments of national mourning, like after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. (I wasn't there unfortunately) Much like the political divide in the U.S. with figures like Trump, having a vocal opposition doesn't mean the government lacks the support of a vast majority of people who value sovereignty and stability above all else.

Merci! - Iranians use merci to say thank you!

Attacks/suppression from their own government? This is just not true and propaganda which is manufactured by foreign media/governments. I wish I could take you to Iran and you will change your mind. Its a civilized society and you are making them sound barbaric.

I fully support the Government including the theocratic regime because I believe in the importance of national sovereignty and the stability it provides for the country and its people. At the same time, I care deeply about all Iranian civilians. I see Iran as a diverse nation where people hold many different views—much like in the U.S., where there is intense debate over leaders like Trump. Supporting the state doesn't mean ignoring the people; rather, it’s a belief that a strong, independent government is the best path forward for the entire population, even if there is internal disagreement.

Finally someone who understands what is going on. I wouldn’t say a draw. Iran stood strong against two military powers. They were also able to attack all the GCC countries without any repercussions. Finally, they were able to inflict pain on the global economy. That’s a win especially since the two military powers are the ones asking for a cease fire Rumours are Netanyahu was killed. Let’s all hope/pray that’s true for global peace.

Getting what they deserve? I was under the impression you Zionists/ Epstein class were trying to free the people. I guess your true colours are coming out. Pathetic? 1. GCC neighbours cannot defend themselves - some of their economies may fall 2. Israel is under a constant attack. 3. WTI is nearing $100 and Brent is slight over 4. European nat gas, 50-60% above pre war prices 5 straight of Hormuz - essentially shut 6. All 32 member countries or IEA agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from reserves - largest release ever out of fear it will crush their economy 7. Fertilizer prices had a significant spike which will will make food more unaffordable for the average consumer 8. Oil and gas production will shut down in GCC as they cannot export it and their storage is full. I can keep on going however US /Israel has so far failed to achieve their stated goals of regime change.

I am standing up for a country who is exercising its "inherent right" to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter following what it terms unlawful, large-scale aggression by the US and Israel. What is inaccurate with what I said?

Iran has threatened each one of their GCC neighbours in an act of self defense, if you allow US/Israel to strike out of your country, you will become a legitimate target. Which is why UAE/Bahrain is being attacked and they cannot do anything about it. You are being dishonest, why don't you share how bad of a pounding Israel is taking? (Iran's ballistic missile program is extremely accurate and they haven't use their latest tech yet! - They have only started to use their hypersonic and cluster missiles) Due to the media blackout not everything is being released but lots of videos/pictures are on X. Now that Iran has degraded their over half of US/Israel's early warning systems , they are blind of what's coming in and their internal warning systems do not always go off when they are under attack. You will also hear Trump saying the attacks have decreased, which is correct but now they are launching less missiles misses and almost every single one is hitting their target. BTW: Don't forget, US/Israel have asked for a ceasefire numerous times so far and it has been Iran who has refused. During the 12 day war, it was Israel who went to the US to ask for a ceasefire. Israel / US requesting a cease fire: Report: Iran says will only agree to ceasefire if US, Israel guarantee no future attack | The Times of Israel Iran War: Truce Depends on US, Israel Pledging No Future Strikes, Iran Says - Bloomberg Israel getting pounded: Trump's crypto czar - David Sacks says: “Israel is getting hit harder than they have ever been hit before in their history, and we're only two weeks into this. If this war continues for weeks or months, then Israel could just be destroyed or very large parts of it. Then you have to worry about Israel escalating the war by contemplating using a nuclear weapon, which would truly be catastrophic.”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly stated that the United States deliberately created a dollar shortage in Iran through intensified sanctions or as described as "maximum pressure". This policy contributed to a sharp devaluation of the Iranian rial, runaway inflation, bank runs, and severe economic hardship for ordinary Iranians, which helped spark widespread protests starting in late December 2025. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian publicly acknowledged the economic crisis and expressed a desire to engage in dialogue with protesters. He ordered officials, including the Interior Minister, to listen to their legitimate demands—particularly those related to the country's worsening economic conditions, currency collapse, and declining living standards—and pledged government action to address them. The initial protests, driven by economic grievances e.g., strikes by shopkeepers in Tehran and elsewhere, were peaceful in the first few days. However, the situation escalated into riots and violence. Foreign actors—including Mossad and CIA of infiltrating and weaponizing the protests to incite chaos. Rioters deliberately set fire to mosques, hospitals, ambulances, schools, banks, and other public infrastructure, resulting in deaths and destruction of innocent lives and property. Due to the foreign interference and the shift to widespread violence and damage to public property, Iranian security forces intervened to restore order. The government maintains that it upholds the rule of law and must act decisively against rioting to protect public safety and peace. Iranian officials have reported arresting numerous foreign-linked individuals, who are expected to face trial. This is why I disagree with you as the government is maintaining rule of law to protect public safety and peace.

Do you know how / why the protests started? And then how/ why it tuned into chaos? Let’s have an intelligent conversation.

What you read was all fake news. I wish one day I could take you there, the country is beautiful, the people go out of their way for their guests and it’s majority of lies what you hear on the news about the government - if you ever need clarification, please ask! The official number was 3,117 killed (including 200 security individuals). The lIranian government launched an online portal for people to submit details of missing individuals. On the official list it includes the full name, the first name of their father, and the last six digits of their 10-digit national identification number to ensure everything is official. Do you know why they were protesting?

I think you are watching and reading too much Zionist / American news! The people are taking it back as millions of Iranians took to the streets across Iran for annual Al-Quds Day rallies on March 13, 2026, demonstrating solidarity with Palestinians and opposing Israel and the United States. Despite ongoing conflict and security risks, large crowds, including officials, gathered in Tehran and other provinces to mark the event established in 1979. A few of the government officials were President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani. Please see pictures of all the other dignitaries who are marching with the millions of people in solidarity!

- Aggressive gaslighting!

Forget expert advice—let’s put our trust in genocidal war criminals and the 'Epstein class' logic they subscribe to. (Please refer to video below) The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) admitted they have not found evidence of an active systematic plan to build nuclear weapons. AND, the US Director of National Intelligence stated that the IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and has not authorized or resumed its, nuclear weapons program. It looks like you are the only person who may need help as maybe the cartoon bomb drawing fooled you.

I am just basing my comment on what he admitted. Please refer to YouTube video. Trump campaigned on putting America first and no new wars, yet he's leading us into war with no benefit to US, all at the behest of a foreign government's lobbying.

Come on, you're complementing him here. You mean: America resembles a circus, run by an orange-faced pedophilic Zionist first clown.

That was never the goal, ask yourself why would US / Israeli in their infinite wisdom assassinate the one person who was against Nuclear weapons? That Fatwa has now been eliminated with a more hand lined individual. Ali Khamenei, the late Supreme Leader of Iran, has maintained a long-standing position, often referred to as a "fatwa" or religious decree dating back to the mid-1990s and officially announced in 2003/2005, declaring the development, production, and use of nuclear weapons as haram (forbidden) under Islamic law, arguing they are weapons of mass destruction.
