Congratulations! It's awesome to see this great nation strive.

It’s awesome to see totalitarian theocracies make advances in technologies that have parallel military uses?

I mean, haven't the majority of rocket developments been towards military uses? Does anything not have parallel military uses these days?

the nation is oppressed, there were over 800 executions in 2023, most political. It wages wars through proxies that destroy lives in the locations where they are active. It has tortured and beaten up its citizens for as much as wearing a hijab wrongly. Are you actually an Islamist Revolutionary Guard or aligned with North Korea or Putin’s government to say that this is awesome?

Yeah Iranians do. Execution of 800 is a tired line? Any factual statements to answer?

you seem not to like how iran is setup, which makes it absolutely necessary that they’re able to put up a resistance should people who think like you attack them. as far as the universe goes, many beliefs about ways of human society organization exist. democracy works for one, not for the other. in fact, democracy has been the undoing of my home country. but it has made us subservient to the west, so naturally the west ‘supports’ our democracy. i wish we’d have some sense to re-examine this strange political experiment of ours, that’s barely 50 years old, and has given us nothing but misery. if we do, we might face opposition from the democracy shmemocracy faithfuls, in which case being able to violently resist any attack will be important.

In my experience, the people who that hate the Iranian government the most are actual Iranian citizen. That's not surprising really, because the vile theocratic government doesn't represent the values of an average Iranian, and stays in power only through violence.

It's a nation with lots of awesome people and culture, but a horrible government.

That you've decided to be cryptic tells me that you know what you're writing is objectionable. Either be clear and back up your sinister accusations, or don't share them. Both would be preferable and more useful than what you've written.

The totalitarian Theocracy is 40 years old- one generation. Before that it was and always has been the Persians. Intellectual powerhouse of the middle east. Cairo-Bhagdad-Teheran - that was were its at, before they ran into the regions resource limit and adapted a religion that is great at eternal, zero-sum wars and paranoid delusions about external influence and bad at everything else.

God (or Allah?), your view of this religion is so biased and warped, I don't even know why I'm wasting time thinking maybe I can point some despicable idiot to some enlightment.

Ever consider that it's humans that are warped, and they abuse any institution possible for their own selfish means? Many religions fall victim to this, including those you view more favorably than Islam.
