It’s so funny reading most comments here, knowing that they’d be celebrating and saying this is good if it was Netanyahu. But when it’s a maniacal islamist declaring his goal to be the destruction of US and Israel, it’s suddenly very nuanced.

It looks like the interceptors hit it, but missile was only damaged and not destroyed. No one's a perfect shot: the misses aren't waste, because some misses should be expected.

> And if that's the case, do you think that American stooge shall do worse than Khamenei who ordered his islamist guards to slaughter 30 000+ unarmed iranian protesters in a matter of days? American seemed to have been fine with 30k people disappearing in Argentina: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_War While a smaller number, US seemed to have been fine with their then-friend Saddam Hussein gassing a whole bunch…
> The US stooges and friends have done all sorts of bad (maybe even worse) things in the past. What kind of all sorts of bad did they do in the past while they ruled a country? Have they ever usurped throne for 36 years?
To take the second quest first, and focus on Iran since it's the topic du jour: you mean like how the shah usurped power from the legislature with US/UK help and ruled for 38 years?

Why do you think the 1979 Revolution happened in the first place? The people were tired of being repressed by an imperialist puppet:

Only people who live on social media believe these extreme views to be true. Most muslims hardly even know the difference or care.
While the comment you replied to was "extreme", it is impossible for any muslim to not know the difference when the difference defines everything about how they practice their religion.

No one liked the ayatollah, but if you think the president can go to war without congressional approval then you are unamerican. On top of that, the younger generation of the IRGC is more extreme than the current one, and there has never been a successful regime change by only using an air campaign. Dummies might point to Kosovo or Libya, but the opposition in those cases were armed. In Iran, the opposition is about…

How does blowing up schools offer hope for the future?
Theres pictures online confirming that it was an Iranian misfire that killed the school. Will you now redirect your outrage over innocent children to the incumbent Iranian government? Will you continue entering threads to signal your outrage to the world? Will you keep quiet, double down or practice the morals you claim to have?

There are now 3 active hot conflicts in Eurasia involving different Nuclear armed powers. This is a scary and unstable time.

Are you muslim? In the real world most muslims are not that religious and hardly follow what is taught to perfect precision. They would not be able to answer the difference except in vague terms at best.

Why would you assume that someone with decades of experience could not be an effective leader?
Because he would be senile.

I was just saying this to someone this morning. Iran’s theocracy was the only one that has withstood the Middle East political wars in Jordan, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. To rephrase it… if The Middle East was the UK, Iran would be British. If the Middle East was the US. Iran would be California.
Jordan political system is much older than Iran, as well as the Saudis and others. Iran theocracy is a new phenomena in the Middle East, ushering the implementation era of political Islam, later continued by ISIS, Hamas and the milder Qatar and current Turkey
I also don’t think that, in general, there’s any animosity there just talking size and influence over the region. Iran and Saudi are/were it. It’s a really interesting dynamic of faith, tradition, authoritarianism, and manipulation.
