    As an Iranian, I have known this war is coming for 25 years. Iran has done everything in its power to avoid it, but unfortunately it’s only a real deterrence that is going to work to keep Iran safe. I’m sorry that makes your acquaintances fell unsafe.

        It has. I’m sorry that Western morons mistook Iran’s patience for weakness. Now the US in particular is going to learn a hard lesson.

        It is my hope that in the near future there will be a peace based on mutual respect so that we can focus on the bigger issues for humanity (climate change in particular), but Iran will never bow do genocidal, colonial slave enterprises. It hasn’t done so in 7000 years and it certainly won’t start now. I do believe that the USA has all of the tools to rectify its course when it comes to colonialism and genocide and I’m rooting for Americans that are trying to take back their country.

          Only on Lemmy you can find these fringe losers bending all backwards for theocratic dictators just because of underdog fallacy.

            I’m Iranian. I’m opposed to theocracy, and for me and millions of other Iranians that’s not just a casual stance, it actually means you have to sacrifice some things. But I’ll also defend my country against foreign genocidal aggressors, and I won’t apologize for it.

            I bet you have zero conception of what life in Iran is actually like so I don’t see much point in discussing the good and bad of the Iranian government. I’ll say this though: the depiction of Iran as a dictatorship is not only incorrect, it’s also a major driver of the failed policies of the West in dealing with Iran. Even if Iran is your enemy, it’s good to understand your enemy, and you don’t.

              It doesn’t matter what life in Iran is - Iranian regime is straight up evil and under no circumstances to be defended in any way shape or form. Doesn’t mean US isn’t wrong just that two wrongs don’t make a right.
