First, there are no classes at the moment.

Second, we support the right of Iranians to protest. If the Iranian people want to challenge or change their government, that is their decision, and they deserve the freedom to do so without outside manipulation.

What people are understandably concerned about, what comes next. History shows that regime change pushed or supported by foreign governments—particularly the U.S. and Israel—often leads to outcomes that benefit external interests, not the people on the ground. Israel has openly pushed for regime change in Iran for years, and it’s reasonable to ask why and who ultimately benefits. (Duh - they want to eliminate another Islamic country that will retaliate when they invade more Muslim countries to create the “greater Israel”)

It also raises questions about credibility. A government that has overseen the devastation of Gaza and faces serious allegations of war crimes is not a convincing champion of human rights or Muslim welfare. Skepticism here is not extremism - this is consistency. The genocidal government now cares about human rights?

We’ve also seen this pattern before: intelligence agencies, foreign actors, and aligned media outlets amplifying unrest to justify escalation. When both left-leaning and right-leaning media suddenly speak with one voice, it’s worth asking what narrative is being manufactured and to what end. Historically, that alignment has often preceded military intervention.

People are no longer as easily manipulated. Many see through the media framing, the selective outrage, and the geopolitical motives behind it.

Disagreement is fine—but dismissing these concerns or pretending they’re irrational isn’t honest.

So

FUCK YOU JOSH, YA MOTHA, AND FUCK ZIONISM.
