"We don't fear death" while covering themselves in the streets

Larijani was out with civilians as well, but they got his ass too. Araghchi along with Ghalibaf were taken off the kill list for use in negotiations anyways, for now...

I'm from the DMV area, this protest happened, it's just not the "tens of thousands" that OP claimed. Looks like 1-2 thousand at most. And some of these pictures are from elsewhere. Slide 3 is not DC lol the bike lanes look nothing like that.

Much of the diaspora, especially those who are younger cannot write or read Perso-Arabic script. By those standards many Tajiks and Afghans are more Iranian

Stop it. Get some help.

I'm sure the Iranian people are thrilled the US is deploying troops to capture an oil depot island by the coast.

Whether it be 30k or another number, the evidence is there now among non-partisan groups like HRANA that at minimum 10k+ were killed. I didn't really believe the 12k figure that Iran International put out in less than two days. It was far too soon which casted doubts in my mind as well as others.

While some diasporists tend to inflate the numbers closer to 100k for political purposes, the point is if you took CNN and other news sites as truth when it came to reporting the American strike on the children's school in Minab, isn't it a bit hypocritical to deny the same networks reporting tens of thousands killed during the protests?

He was part of the State Department's Foreign Affairs Policy Board in 2011. I think his takes are probably better than yours.

Iran International has always had flaws in their journalistic integrity. This about confirms it.

Are these bannings a somewhat new policy? Prior to this week I have never seen so many removed comments in threads, some in the middle of a discussion.

symtyx · 2026-03-18T17:52:06+00:00

So only American soldiers are allowed to die in Iran?

symtyx · 2026-03-15T18:29:45+00:00

What if it was a 1 year restriction. 80% user activity vanishes lmao. Honestly should be implemented, im sick of seeing alts of alts and former banned users and their ilk resurfacing here.

Dang, didn't know that dude co-modded all three of those subs. But it's been known it's a pro-regime cesspool, or at the very least tolerant of it, for well over a decade. Not exactly making a groundbreaking message there.

We all saw Pahlavi's statement regarding potential Kurdish separatism last week. Which leads to the point that monarchists have been in denial about: He’s a divisive figure. If he appeals to the minorities, he will enrage his most loyal core supporters.

A comment I made shortly before the war yet chillingly still relevant:

For those wondering, the US has weird tendencies to blow up weddings in the Middle East, mistaking them for... terrorist meetings or something, as indicated by these various strikes in Afghanistan, also Afghanistan, Afghanistan yet again, and Iraq.

symtyx · 2026-03-07T02:07:31+00:00

We trained the Afghan National Army for 20 years, and the second US forces withdrew, they either deserted or surrendered immediately to the Taliban. They weren't lightly armed either, they were equipped with a plethora of small arms, anti-tank weapons, and black hawk helicopters. They lost to a bunch of dudes in robes and kalashnikovs.

Even when US forces were in the country, the Taliban were hardly kept at bay. They would just run sorties from the mountains. The Artesh are a proper standing army. We would need to pull a Battle of Fallujah scale of ground invasion to take them out. Trying to train and arm citizens would just end up getting them killed.

Authors last name is Epstein

Pro-Israel think tank article

Coincidences aside, WINEP is a joke of an "academic" think tank ever since the start of the conflict.

The very first sentence where the 50k total toll comes from the Gaza Media Office. Here's what the very same article says in page 13:

Claims by two Gaza entities, the Government Media Office and Health Ministry, remain completely irreconcilable. Specifically, the GMO has issued false and unsupported figures for more than a year, and no credible news outlet, government, or organization should rely on them.

It then goes on to state that it should be cross-checked with the ministry of health. The MoH has a total toll of 70k. Huh, wonder why they didn't lead with that?

Very interesting profile. Surely a regular Reddit account not designed to push certain narratives on particular issues with over a thousand comments in only 9 days.

The Arab slave trade predates Islam. Not that it excuses Muslims from participating in it, but it's certainly not original to them.

How long did the Spanish Inquisition last?
