    Of course it’s not unanimous. It’s hard to get a true complete consensus.

    Had you been following the protests in Iran even before the attacks?

    I’ve met many people from Iran. Every single one of them left due to the regime, or were children of parents who left because of the regime.

    I’m not making this point out of pro-American imperialism. Not in the slightest. This is about what many people in Iran want, and what their government has been murdering them for wanting.

      Yes, but I don’t see why that justifies bombing Iran.

      And what I’m alluding to earlier, Israel isn’t bombing Iran because it cares about the freedoms of Iranian women. It is bombing Iran because Israel and Iran are regional rivals.

        That’s not what I said. What I said was,

        I think regime change in Iran is important

          You’re saying “regime change is important” on a post about American attacks on Iran and the current administration is saying that regime change is the purpose of the attacks.

          That sounds like you support the attack on Iran.

            And here’s the rest of my original comment:

            At the same time, I can’t help but feel the US is not doing this out of altruism, but out of opportunism.

            And again, I’m speaking about regime change; the regime that was murdering the innocent citizens of Iran for the crime of conducting peaceful protests against said regime.
