The system of government is not the reason for sanctioning, but it is a reason for people’s unhappiness.
During those protests in 2022-23, Iran used rape as a weapon, just like Israel did. They disturbed graves and funerals of victims of their own violence and intimidated those who survived. And to the number of victims, most estimates say more than 500. The state admits to about 300, but then again, that’s the same state that told people Nika Shakarami committed suicide after she had been beaten to death.
The fact that Israel commits a genocide does not excuse the amount of violence the Iranian state is using against their own people.
I do not agree with the sanctions on Iran regarding important medical or food items.
