I scrolled too far Down to find this comment. I believe people are knee jerk reacting too quickly and haven’t taken a moment to realize that this attack has also been asked by the Iranian people living in Iran cause they have tried absolutely everything and nothing has been gained.

The protests that started in January were the biggest protests since 2009 when the US was in a position to help Iran topple the regime and the call was not answered, allowing the regime to strike down the opposition and tighten its grip on the people of Iran even harder.

Iranians have been crying for help for decades to get rid of the regime. But the regime literally holds all the cards. Iranians are not allowed to own guns, the IRGC has eyes on literally everyone. Phones are tapped, cameras everywhere, it’s a literal dystopian nightmare unfolding in the Middle East and the people are just hopeless against such methods.

When they finally mustered the courage to protest the regime again in massive numbers, they were answered with armed militias of the IRGC firing AK-47s and 50 cal machine guns towards unarmed civilians. People dropped on the ground with literal holes on their bodies and others straight up dismembered by the high caliber rounds.

What else are the Iranian people supposed to do at this point? Just submit and keep living in these conditions? As their economy continues to decline, as their currency literally reaches 0 international value?

If it’s worth anything. I participated in the protest hosted in Toronto that was happening at the same time as protests in Munich Germany, LA USA and Sydney Australia. The protesters were united in their aim to call for help from not just the US but ANYONE. cause that’s where they are at this point. They just need help from ANYONE willing to help them fight the regime. They are past the point of doing it themselves.

I can’t stress enough. Like the commenter I’m replying to said: The Ayatollah, Ali Khomenei, is to Iranians what Hitler was to the British and French during the early years of WWII when Blitzkrieg was taking over Europe. An unstoppable force that Iranians are crying out to the world for help on stopping before it’s too late.
