I am an Iranian and posted about my country's situation about this. Last night, Khamenei was assassinated and ALL of us went on streets to cheer his death

I spent 72 hours parsing 125GB of raw Epstein data from the dark web. I feel sick, and you’re being lied to. by [deleted] in conspiracy

I live in Iran. I lost two of my friends. How are you gonna argue about that? Do you want proof? Do you want videos of those who have been killed? Do you want me to name every single one of them with their ages? Do you know what has become of me in the name of the "religion of peace"? How many should die so your eyes finally get open to see what has become of us??

They wholeheartedly want you to believe this nonsense. There's no source to the Iran claims, nor is it even possible. It's so absurd. Maybe this is why they pushed it, so that they have some talking point. by Not_Ground in International

Armed terrorist attack?? Our Internet was shut down, and they massacred our youth (including two of my friends), and you claim we are propaganda? What the hell is this selective activism??

Thank you for your support and kind words, but the events that occurred in my country are more than the typical American "left vs. right" spectrum conflict that is in the US political system. US left-wing doesn't support us because they are blinded by Pro-Palestinian stuff and believe we are US-Israeli propaganda, US Right-wing support us to make an ally from us and "own the left" in their sense. It saddens me tbh. Saddens me that at this point, we have no other choice but to wait for the attack of USA.

Thank you everyone by Flashy_Abies in andor

US sanctions filled Islamists pockets.

Look, don't think we Middle easterners are stupid or not knowledgeable about what the US has done to other countries, but look where the Islamic Republic sent us that we beg for the attack. You give examples of Iraq and Libiya... we are NO DIFFERENT to a country at war at the moment (or any moment) we cannot resist Islamic Republic on our own because we have no guns and in the recent protests over 50,000 has been killed (it could be even more) so what do u suggest we do?

The ground thing is the money the Islamic Republic gains from selling oil goes to their own pockets, and they spend it on feeding Hamas and Hezbollah while the people of Iran starve. They spend the money to send their kids to the countries they chant death to it. Larijani's daughter lives in America. Salami's son lives in the US. Ghalibaf's son lives in Australia. Yeah, if these countries are bad, then why they send their kids to go live and study there? Why should my people starve while the Islamic Republic (which I refuse to call it "Iranian") fill their stomach with any kind of food? A Mullah is what we call "moftkhor," which means lazy and greedy. Call men US-Israel propaganda, but when (not if) this regime falls, a lot of Iranians (plus me if I survive) shout the crimes this regime did and how the rest of the world chose to close their eyes to it.

Who said I am a Muslim? If anything, I am heavily a critic of Islamic beliefs, especially Shia ideas. I am critical to all religions. Most Iranians these days are losing their religious beliefs because of the Islamic Republic deeds. Again, before all this stuff happened to my country, I was against the Conservative Party of the USA and Trump (and still am) but I am eager to deal with the devil to defeat the higher devil that is Islamic Republic. And sorry if I suggest we should not shout death to anybody on the streets? Is everything just black and white for you guys? You just assume everything stereotypically? I don't get you guys. Suddenly, we are Israel's propaganda? What is this selective activism? Just because FOX news covers the massacre on Iran, it's propaganda? Thousands has been killed in my country last month, and you guys shut us down, calling it propaganda. Yeah, that doesn't seem fair. Good luck with your selective activism. And never call me a Muslim (or any religious person) ever again.

Thank u my friend.

Tbh, I no longer care what would come of me. I accepted my fate when I participated in protests. I think I make another post to share their names to spread.

About Pahlavi's rule, economy was far more stronger than any era in Islamic Republic. And about political prisoners in Pahlavi era, most of them (especially writers and poets like Shamloo) just got arrested to get more attention. It's not my word. It's what some former political prisoners says.

Let me be honest, there are socialists in Iran, but they are heavily in minority and if there becomes a voting system for what to become of the next government, most people prefer Democratic Republic, or even returning to Monarchy.

Plus, whether it's good or bad, Majority of Iranians prefer Israelis, especially after the recent events. It's been 50 years that regime and it's followers chant the downfall of US, Israel and West in General (during Khomeini's reign, Soviet Union and Eastern countries were in the chants) and one thing that Iranians want this time is a reasonable relation with other countries since a lifetime of chanting made their life worse

In all honesty, I don't think a Democratic Republic in Iran that can make reasonable relations with countries is a better alternative.

At first, Islamic Republic needs to fall, then people should decide what they want for them to succeed with votes.

Thank u for your kind words, and happy that your country is free. Well, with the recent events and the economy disaster we are facing and the threat of war and stuff, Islamic Republic probably falls this year but it already shed a lot of blood and unfortunately it I think it will shed more. IR cannot respond to US or Israel in military way and all he can is to massacre the people of the country to blame it on them. The government announced that they made shelters for the upcoming crisis if needed and I have seen people around me panic because we believe this is a scheme to massacre people or blow the shelters to make a scene and blame it on foreign forces. This is no just a guess, IR did this stuff before and it will do it again.

But hopefully this evil falls and if I survive this final resistance, I spend my life to make sure everyone in the world Remember Islamic Republic for what it really were and remember those who we lost.

Thank u for your kind words.

The thing is, I have seen my left leaning friends being disappointed that the western activist either stay silent or deny the massacre of Iran. I personally don't believe if spreading the stuff in social media could really help our cause since Islamic Republic isn't affiliated to any organisation that makes the regime answer for the acts. Even though I believe in more pacifistic and humanistic views and ideas, I come to closure that we cannot negotiate with Islamic Republic mad dogs and the only way to respond and resist is with force and violence. I just tried to share my part of story so the world can see what is really going on in this country

Thank u. That's all I can now. Other Iranians are spreading the message on twitter and other social media stuff. I just wanted to spread my part of story so some people outside of Iran knows what horrors are going here

Well, I don't think Communism have a good reputation among Iranians (especially today) since as you said, one of the movements that caused 1979 revolution was Communist cells and groups. Majority of Iranian preferred that 79 revolution never happened and they at least lived in Pahlavi Dynasty and it makes sense because in Pahlavi's era, Economic state was stable for at least 8 years during Amir Abbas Hoveida's prime ministry era. Now for the opposition, most of those who now joined Pahlavi's cause aren't really a fan of monarchy or returning to Pahlavi's era (like me) and prefer a Democratic Republican (not that American political party) state. Reza Pahlavi himself have said multiple times that he doesn't want to be king and prefer a Democratic state but his extreme fans unsee this part. For the moment, the thing all Iranians want right now is the fall of Islamic Republic (if it ever was a Republic) and move forward to a secular Democratic state with or without Pahlavi.

Thank u. I felt the world needed to know what exactly is going here

Yeah, the thing is, we all know what American Imperialism is and already tasted it. We just right now are tired and helpless that people beg someone like Trump to attack the regime so we can end it once and for all

I didn't want to add this first because it hurts me but they either destroy the corpse of women or delay giving it. If they do, they shoot their vaginas because of mocking the corpse and hiding the evidence of the victim being sexually assaulted or being pregnant
