    The only reason Israel, America’s attack dog in the Middle East, has started a war of aggression on Iran is because Iran dares to oppose US foreign policy in the region. Had Iran got nuclear weapons they would be able to continue doing so with impunity.

    That’s it. All of that human rights, authoritarianism bullshit is propaganda for you, the westerner, to get your support for this imperialist war. The Mullahs hang gays from cranes so Israel should vaporize everyone in Iran, including the gays? Women who don’t want to wear headscarves are being tortured so we will bomb all their apartment buildings to rubble? An adult person with average intelligence should be able to see themselves through the logic that a war with Iran is not going to improve an Iranian’s circumstances in any way. Do not support this war.

      Also let’s remember what is exactly reason why Iran look like it look in the first place: it’s because USA couped democratically elected center-left government, propped up the shah, helped him exterminate any and all leftists there so the only possible opposition force that remained was the religious extremists (who btw were also kept on hold by west as alternative).

        The Shah was couped with the help of leftist who got backstabbed by the islamists. They weren’t the only possible opposition, they were just the most politically savvy opposition.

      I think another major reason for Israel to stoke this conflict is that it benefits Netanyahu politically. Without an active war he would be out of office and likely being prosecuted for his many crimes. So long as he can keep Israel embroiled in conflict, he can stay in power.
