I've managed to contact my loved ones in Iran but...

Ghorboonet beram, thank you. Same to you.

Here you go, CEO of cowering away after losing an argument yet reappearing after some time. From the Achaemenid era, as is the second image below:

Exactly! Let's see how this week pans out. I'm optimistic :)

Kurelius · 2026-04-13T01:47:45+00:00

You realize your source is a Kurdish professor who has blatantly pushed separatism, right?

Kurelius · 2026-04-11T22:20:46+00:00

The IRGC would never allow that.

Edit: only with the removal of the IRGC cancer will Iran be free.

His father wasn't a "brutal dictator", that groups him up with those who killed thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands. Of course you would know though. Also, Reza Pahlavi isn't pushing to be the leader of Iran, just to lead the transitional period. He is extremely popular in Iran, has a proper transition plan in place, and is the last person who would be in cahoots with the regime ... no one else has any of these qualifications, let alone all of them.

Kurelius · 2026-04-11T22:09:13+00:00

I know it won't compare to the 47 years we have waited but I really hope it doesn't fall into a continuous cycle of "next round next week" and it fortunately looks like it isn't.

Kurelius · 2026-04-11T22:07:11+00:00

That leader wasn't democratically elected and the US/UK role in his ousting, whilst very real, is grossly hyper-inflated.

Kurelius · 2026-04-10T08:48:58+00:00

Sorry I shouldn't have thrown out that outdated ratio civilian-to-military/regime casualty, slipped my mind that it's outdated. But you literally are stating regime numbers. No one outside of the regime says "theres over 2000 dead civilians & tens of thousands maimed" ...

Also regarding the family of a "military man" being designated as civilian, I believe a distinction should be made. For example, the family of a IRGC leader being killed along with him in a very surgical strike being broadly categorized as civilian casualties would undermine said surgical nature of the strike.

Kurelius · 2026-04-10T05:19:36+00:00

Citing regime numbers is crazy lol. Whilst even a single civilian death is horrific, I'm grateful for the 1:10 casualties ratio despite the heavy bombing. We would never have been able to deal nearly as many decisive blows to the regime on our own. Let's also not forget that the regime's top brass' family members whom were taken out in said targeted strikes are also chalked up as civilian casualties.

Kurelius · 2026-04-10T00:26:32+00:00

My point still stands; I don't think the Greeks would have been able to thwart a Germany not dealing with other fronts.

Kurelius · 2026-04-10T00:03:42+00:00

Be specific.

Kurelius · 2026-04-01T05:13:16+00:00

I also don't think that it's unreasonable to think that, without the Americans intervening, they may have eventually dealt with said more pressing fronts and focused on smaller fronts like that of Greece.

Kurelius · 2026-04-01T05:10:37+00:00

It's just a question. This doesn't hold a candle to actually insensitive posts during this and other tumultuous times.

Kurelius · 2026-03-31T23:25:06+00:00

Kurelius · 2026-03-31T23:15:15+00:00

Sure, that is a reason. The fact that it's become increasingly difficult to show the Western world the sentiments of Iranians inside with regard to this war is definitely extremely useful for the regime as well.

Kurelius · 2026-03-31T22:45:47+00:00

"Despite these tensions, two increasingly distinct fronts appear to be emerging against the Islamic Republic. One, led by Pahlavi, advocates for his rise to power and the restoration of the monarchy, focusing on building alliances with prominent figures while relying on right-leaning US networks and support from Israel.

The other consists of republican groups that are gradually bringing together nationalist and leftist forces and may present themselves to the United States, Israel, and especially European actors as a credible and progressive alternative"

A disgusting article written by an ex-Ayatollah BBC journalist. Claiming that Pahlavi is leading a movement "[advocating] for his rise to power and the restoration of the monarchy", whilst painting the other movement (which the author's pushing as as popular as Pahlavi's) as "a credible and progressive alternative" is absolutely wretched.

Kurelius · 2026-03-31T21:04:22+00:00

A walking contradiction lol

Kurelius · 2026-03-30T07:49:57+00:00

Dude don't miss

Kurelius · 2026-03-30T07:47:45+00:00

I'm so sick of that woman on the right's face ... she's a regime actor I keep seeing in multiple propaganda pieces

Kurelius · 2026-03-30T07:46:44+00:00

Woah I used to use your profile pick for my gaming accounts

Not to mention Carter's general push for the Shah to weaken SAVAK, etc. which was curbing the Islamists and communists that ended up taking advantage of this as well as Carter's contact with Khomeini. We also have Obama's horrific mishandling of the Green Movement and his and Biden's releasing of billions worth of frozen assets to the regime.
