The West has been obsessed with toppling the Iranian government since 1979. All their claims about concern for human rights are exposed as lies by their support for the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. It is hegemony and they can’t accept a government that is not subservient to their ambitions in the region.
By publicly backing the protesters the us put a target on them. They are pawns to sacrifice to get more endless war.
And a regime that gives gay people the death sentence and murders protestors ist any better? Iran needs a government that doesn’t suck up to the US but also treats it’s citizens well. It isn’t black and white where you either defend the current regime or support a US controlled one. You can have neither.

Indeed, and that’s not something you can force upon them from the outaide. At some point a country’s people are (at least to a degree) responsible for how their coubtry is ran and by whom.
Outside onfluence almost never works and always exploits the country in some way.
Because US/Western regime changes always, always result in society in that country progressing, right? Never gets worse for anyone especially not minority groups, that would be un-American.
The West is executing thousdsnds of little children by sniping them in the head. If you want to actually seriously do the moral comparison then yes Iran is better.
Why do you think that is a standard Iran should abide by? “But x is doing worse” is not an excuse for crimes against civilians.
Why are people pretending like rioting terrorists with shotguns and AK’s are now innocent civilians? The videos we’ve seen of large marches show the Iranian government was pretty lenient until the Israeli backed rioters started setting buildings and people on fire and shooting at the police.
What the lemmy libs really don’t get is that even if not every protestor is Mossad, the protests are caused by illegal sanctions of the country with the express purpose of starving people to the point of desperation so that western countries and their puppet Shah can resume resource extraction and using Iran as a geopolitical pawn. They do not care about anything else, everything else westerners are bringing up are not relevant to what is going on - gay people, women’s rights, workers rights, kurdish nationalism, baloch nationalism, MeK or any other thing besides destroying the industrial capacity of the world and enforcing periphery politics on the Iranian people. No one with understanding of Iran wants another power vacuum where material conditions will definitely get worse for everyone.
Yup. And who knows what is actually going on.
Empire defenders assemble! The comment sections cannot allow dissent!
Iran’s government responded sympathetically to the bazaar protests, providing them with police protection.
Sad that they had to shoot them down afterwards. I mean there was nothing they could’ve done.
your heart sure does bleed for these people you want to starve and murder with the goal of enslaving
Good thing Putin didn’t sign a peace agreement with Ukraine. Now with Trump’s planned invasion of Iran, a future US administration will be able to install missiles near the Caspian to threaten Russia, even if NATO fails badly in Ukraine. At the very least the US will control the air space and fly through it, with Iran defeated. Let’s hope that Trump has to pay a price for this course of action.
Amerikkkans crave nuclear war.
You mean this for real or forgot /s ?
For real, I think Putin should continue to troll Trump and use maximum pressure on Ukraine.
Lol, the US will implode long before they can start a full scale war against China lmao. Get ready to learn Chinese, cracker
My mum is already learning it hahaha.

I simply recognize that the current government is the lesser evil compared to whatever regime the US/Israel want to install.
Don’t you believe in supporting the lesser evil?
Spare us the crocodile tears
