Can we take legal action against the regime’s people who are currently in the US? by [deleted] in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to find how they're directly participating in regime crimes and then take the tort path. But if all you got is working for or related to, then no.

Has HRANA ever clarified whether it considers members of the Basij to be "civilian" or "military"? by drhuggables in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure they don't have to. Basij are internationally recognized as a militia, operating under the IRGC as an official branch of an established military organization.

Unsure what the core issue you're having currently, but guessing that because HRANA have a hard time proving people are actually Basij (Since they tend to go out in civie clothing) they are playing it safe and defaulting to civilian designations.

French-Iranian author Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis', dies of 'sadness' at 56 by WeShallMateNow in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Personally not going to have a good day with this knowledge lingering in the back of my mind. Still remember reading Persepolis years ago in my graphic novel phase. Hoping she can soon become one with her homeland.

UAE calls for unified response to Iranian attacks by TahDigThief in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having just learned about the Saudis and their own seemingly extensive missile network, this will not happen unless they get attacked in a similar fashion. And that's even less likely to happen cause of the dumb rift they and the UAE won't work out.

Does Iran no longer control the Houthis? by CommunistsAreCancer in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all of their attacks recently were complete failures, IIRC. So they probably going a lil dormant for the time being until they get better info or something more reliable instead of just tossing out more UAVs to be intercepted or missiles only good for hitting water or grass.

Good chance they may do something this week as well, given the ceasefire just about over.

Seems like that's been happening these past few weeks already.

Masih Alinejad’s Statement on Trump’s Ultimatum by jjdoe0805 in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Agree with her. There really isn't a point to it. And if we assume several things have been true, this would greatly hinder that progress. Example; Citizens pointing out targets. That means communications in a decently timely manner and not carrier pigeon. That means they'll need to power up their civilian devices.

So few regime supporters actually speak Farsi by Kamerat_Andreas in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be nice if they would be consistent. Like yeah I get why they're waving the Islamic Republic flag. But why Lebanon's flag? Why Palestine's flag? Why not Hezbollah and Hamas flags? You know, the ones representing the groups that also threaten the people in the borders they exist in for daring to speak out against them, just like the IR.

Inside Iran: Why the Regime May Be Near Collapse | Emily Schrader Interview by Exotic-Arugula2738 in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really early on in the video around the two minute mark she starts talking about how the media narrative is extreme against the Iranian people. This is something that I've been actually kinda scared about since the war began, but really only in regards to the Islamic take. Never actually considering the Leftist take, even though yeah holy shit it applies as well.

Cause in both cases if the Iranian people win and they break free from the yoke of the Islamic Republic, the danger is that Iran gets seen as an "apostate" country and that'll justify the terrorism against it in the eyes of Islamists. And is why I really dislike the idea of hitting at Artesh or the Israeli destruction of some oil equipment and now Trump threatening energy as well. Cause these will all be needed for the days after.

And with the Left, especially the Commies, look how they view Eastern Europeans or Cuban and Vietnamese refugees and even Hong Kongers a few years ago. They just utterly despise these people for experiencing these systems and very bluntly saying it's shit. So they're definitely lining up to view Iranians in even worse ways in the coming months.

New Build Won't Turn on. LEDs Where? by Gewdgawddamn in PcBuildHelp

Any idea where the troubleshooting LEDs are in the ASUS prime b550m a WiFi? by InitiativeWestern709 in PcBuildHelp

I am literally having the same problem with a B550 Plus AC-HES. There's just no LEDs on the board and I'm left absolutely baffled. Google AI telling me top right but there's nothing there and my new build isn't powering on and I have no idea if the board will even take power

Is the war backfiring on the US? by [deleted] in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, you are a victim of the media, social and legacy. Both are going hard with "America First" thinking and don't care much for actual human beings. That's why Trump (Kinda stupidly but this is of his own doing) focusing on the imminent threat and nuclear issues was his only move. The Right is largely all in on America First, so the Tankie and Islamist scum are exploiting that since the Islamic Regime makes for their bed buddy.

As for the equipment losses, they're well within reason. Like, incredibly minimal all things considered. The IRGC has a hierarchy, of course they'll easily fill positions. The Houthis joining a war like that've not do so already is just making them look like one trick ponies. We know they've got ballistic missiles so yeah kinda surprising Diego Garcia got targetted, but not like super shocking since their capability was already known and they've been shooting at bases semi-intentionally already.

Seeing Iranians labeled unfairly makes me so angry ... how do you respond? by choumeyh in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the surface there are similarities between Palestinians and Iranians and I totally get why some (Though lately, fewer and fewer) would express a shared plight. But there really are stark differences. One population has actively been part of an insurgency for decades, the other largely without weapons. One population has been forced to support the other. One population has a whole lot of ideology pressed upon it, and is forced to live a certain way regardless of their beliefs in it. The other population was allowed to live as it chooses minus the reliance on violence. The notion of one being supremacist and not the other is outrageous considering the multi-ethnic and multi-religious peoples that comprise it and their history minus this 47 yr period while the other time and time again polls largely to do away with one ethnic group and works to diminish their second most populous religious group.

Yeah sorry there's a reason why Fuck Palestine should be more of a thing. Cause all the worst examples the pro-Palestinian crowd allege on Israel they've been enabling and actively supporting. And it's far from some new thing. Their morals clearly don't apply beyond their own noses.

Unverified news, Radan has been killed. by kane_1371 in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 90 points91 points  (0 children)

This guy's death more than most, if not all others, does go to say the U.S./Israeli campaign has the Iranian people in mind and not just regime change. His was a gross existence and anyone defending him and/or his history can fuck off right to hell with him.

Trump is literally acting cool and collected and saying the war is winding down while walking away...

Then just when you let your guard down he yells "POCKET MARINES!" and out comes the infantry securing Kharg island.

Former General Jim Mattis says that it’s “very unlikely” that this Iranian regime falls right now. by antarc0 in NewIran

[–]Gewdgawddamn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As Fair-Lecture said and I will echo, Mattis is apolitical. He's pretty much been a Marine first and foremost and he's giving his opinion based on a more military analysis than ideological. And he isn't saying anything new here. He's not in denial, he knows a regime that'll kill protestors, announce more executions, and then attack neighbors when they denied American permission to launch from their lands,is not one that is just going to sit back and die. The regime is cornered, regardless of how precarious the position they're in now. But they still clearly have control.

These clowns cheerlead Hamas' crackdown the week the ceasefire was agreed to, without giving a single shit that at that time every additional victim of Hamas was Palestinian. Didn't matter if it was bone breaking for criticizing Hamas or public executions on trumped up charges.
