        The “protests” that Trump accidentally leaked were started by armed agents of the US and Israel?

        The “protests” that Trump explicitly stated he sent arms to?

        The “protests” wherein armed militias attacked IRGC police, civilians, and in one instance a power station?

        Those “protests?”

              I phoned a friend on this one. Showed him this comment thread. Who is Iranian currently in Germany watching bombs go off in his hometown of Tabriz. He replies:

              "No man those protests started in the bazar of iran

              That’s exactly what islamic regime is claiming and killed civilians based on this

              They say protesters were agents of mossad etc

              This artice and what trump was saying is about later anfter what happened on those days

              On 8 and 9th January there were nationwide protests in which thousands of people were killed on the streets by the government we don’t have a number but it varies between 6000- 40000 thousands people based on different sources in those protests people were not armed at all"

                Your friend in Germany who hasn’t been in Iran for decades is definitely more up to date than the President of the United states… how exactly?

                    He was at the protests two months ago? Really? And magically found one of the maybe dozen flights out of the country before Israeli attacks grounded all aircraft?

      You think they are willingly showing up? Iran kills protesters.

      Haha this place is no better than reddit. Iran loves killing its people just as much as the US loves killing their people. There’s no good guys in this fight.

        Don’t be such a hoser, pal. You know broad strokes don’t make for very detailed representation.

          Those people are showing up because they are afraid of their own government. I know I’m right. A mom does not show up with her kids as a human shield willingly.

          If the iranian regime gave a single fuck about their people they would urge women and children to seek shelter.

            “I know I’m right” isn’t the compelling argument you might feel it is. Wouldn’t you be a vocal supporter of your community in similar circumstances?

              You mean if Canada was about to be bombed by Trump, would I be a vocal supporter of Carney asking women and young people to form a human shield on the patullo bridge for example?

                No need to be a fervent supporter of the current administration to be a supporter of your community, and showing affront to the TACO.

                  I mean it’s easy to say this now that he’s chickened out. All those people could have died for zero reason.

                    Israel did cancel the concert that was supposed to happen on Oct 7th, and placed it elsewhere, someplace where the Hannibal Directive could be carried out without pushback. So I can understand your thinking behind it, but it’s not how they function. For better or worse, they are a death cult, and Americans and Israelis are a killing cult, and the death cult seems to be winning morally.
