"Mossads agents had been arming people and instructing them to riot. " This feels far too much like Iranian government propaganda to be plausible.

Believing anything the insane Shia Theocracy running Iran says is also deranged. They are even bigger liars than Trump.

This seems to be a fairly well thought out war that's already killed many Iranian leaders, including: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – Supreme Leader Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi – Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Pakpour – Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh – Minister of Defense Mohammad Shirazi – Head of Supreme Leader’s military office Ali Larijani – Senior nation…

Many of these leaders decided to not hide underground but to become martyrs. It is really not an accomplishment to murder someone in their own house when they have not been hiding. Khamenei was already very old. His security begged him to evacuate but he asked them if they can evacuate all Iranians. If they can't why should he get special treatment? He knew he could serve his country best by becoming a martyr. Meanwh…

Iran is actively murdering protesters including a 19 year old. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce9mzn7k722o

That's horrible, but has nothing to do with this.

It really should make you want the Totalitarian Shia Theocracy running Iran to collapse.

> We deserve it for looking the other way while Israel has been mass murdering Palestinians for more than two years now. The sad part is how the genocide in Gaza could have been prevented: Imagine an alternate history, in which successive precedencies didn't turn a blind eye to Iran, imagine a decade ago (regardless of democrat or republican administration) that they decided to do what they are doing today in Iran. I…

The genocide against the Palestinians has not started after October 7th though but long before the Islamic Republic of Iran even existed. In the Nakba of 1948 as much al 750k Palestinians lost their homes. Hezbollah came to be as a resistance group against the invasion of Lebanon by Israel. The reason both Hamas and Hezbollah exists is because Israel. There can not be peace in the region as long as Israel exists. The…

> Wow, it is clear that you are trolling and acting as a propagandist.

Asking a question about how Mahsa Amini died is not trolling or propaganda, its not even a statement, but a question.

> You do know that you can be against violence, hatred and bigotry in general, and not just that of your ‘enemies’, right?

I know that, but can you please answer the question, it is you who brought up the matter of critical thinkink skills after all.

Its a mystery how "the terrorists" have launched 1000's of missiles & drones, in 70+ (and counting) waves, across 3 weeks, spanning across the region, and yet they have ABJECTLY FAILED to: * hit any hospital * blow up any school * nor murder any journalists. Yet, despite this stunning lack of accuracy from ... "the terrorists", they have somehow managed to hit EVERYTHING ELSE they were aiming at. On the other hand, t…

Iran literally hit a preschool in Israel today, with an MRV which is solely designed to terrorize the population (and is a war crime btw). Plus a 12 year old is in critical condition alongside 40 civilians from a single Iranian missile hitting a residential building later today. And in June Iran hit a hospital in Israel with a ballistic missile. > Its a mystery... Not a mystery, though, is it? Israel has excellent ai…

No, everything I said was true. The entire world knows who deliberately targets and murders children, by the tens of thousands. "Disinformation" is one of the Zionist colony's biggest exports, but its effect (like all drugs) has waned over time.

People who have unyoked from Zionist mental-control have dozens, if not 100s of independent journalistic outlets, mostly online, where they can (and ARE) following to get some sense of what's really happening. Hence your frustration.

Its not for nothing that "every accusation is a confession" is now a phrase which has spread across the globe, in relation to the Zionist entity and its hasbara. So, your "spreading disinformation on purpose" accusation is really your confession.

Iran is fighting for survival, Israel and the US are fighting by choice. They attacked Iran not the other way round. US bases, even if also used by UK which aides US it their war, are legitimate targets. US imperialism is the greatest threat to the world.

> They attacked Iran not the other way round. This whole war is a continuation of the Oct 7 attack on Israel by Iran's proxies. It's been revealed recently that Israel took the decision to assassinate the leader of Iran soon after Oct 7 in retaliation. It just took a few years to find the opportunity to do so.

Iran is financially supporting both Hamas and Hezbollah so it has a degree of influence on these groups but it does not mean that they them.

Oct 7th was planned by Hamas, specifically Hamas in Gaza.

It is obvious that neither Iran nor Hezbollah knew about the date or they would have coordinated their attacks. In fact Iran did not seem very happy about October 7th because they didn't want the escalation.

Do you? Your whataboutism and dismissing concerns about this war as being butthurt is the dumbest and most morally bankrupt response anyone can make. I absolutely condemn the Iranian regime for what they have done, but that in no way excuses what the Israeli and US regimes have done. This was an unnecessary, unprovoked, world-destabilizing and ultimately counterproductive war. Please stop

Unfortunately this is more interesting than a failed Diego Garcia attack — the late Ayatollah had a self-imposed range limit on the strikes or tests they would carry out. By using IRBMs in this fashion, it’s clear the new regime no longer feels bound by that restriction.. Which is notable since it’s about the same distance from Southern Iran to Diego Garcia (3,800km) as it is from Northern Iran to London.

> the late Ayatollah had a self-imposed range limit on the strikes or tests they would carry out. Can you elaborate on what kind of strikes the Ayatollah was carrying out within the old range limit?

The IRGC directly was mostly targeting US troops in Iraq (eg the 2020 Al Asad ballistic missile attack) and frequently responded to ‘Imperial Aggression’ with missile attacks on Israel - which peaked at 2,000km... They’d also been surprisingly consistent with limiting their proxies to SRBMs so that you wouldn’t get a random Hamas or Hezbolah missile into Central Europe.

Im really hoping they enforced those limits by not sending them IRBMs rather than sending them and ‘not letting’ them use the full range because I’m getting the sense their proxies would rather land some flashy strikes on soft targets instead of having everything swatted down over Israel.
