Independent Persian has received messages from protestors within Iran via Starlink satellite that describe a ‘war-like situation’. Amirhossein Miresmaeili reports
I would love it if the Iranians had another revolution on their terms. However, you’re naive as hell if you think that would happen without western meddling. It’s already the root cause for most of the material conditions that cause these grievances.
Sanctions isolate Iran and actively hurt the common people. Israel and the US are constantly threatening, attacking, and doing espionage meaning the government is in constant threat and has to be more authoritarian to survive. The whole reason for the revolution was the people getting pissed at the Shah, our western puppet from before.
This has been a decades long project that you are being suckered into cheering for.
I’ve been suckered into this by knowing Iranians who don’t want to live under the Mullahs any more.
And western meddling did not force the IRI to enact a brutal gender apartheid while also effectively putting Persian Iranians above all other ethnicities. Western meddling did not force the IRI to beat Mahsa Amini to death.
The Regime is under constant threat? Good. They should be.
You think it’s better off in the hands of a former Isis guy where they’re murdering Druze and other ethnic minorities while Israel has basically free reign to bomb, displace, and take land? It hasn’t become more stable after the fall brother.

pissed at the shah was understatement, he was extremely brutal throughout his rule.

Is Iraq better off now without Sadam? Is Syria better off now without Bashar? Is Libya better off now without Gadafi?
I don’t like any of those previous leaders, but every single case the country was worse off after. The same will be true of Iran.
Syria is definetly better off without Bashar
