    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.

      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.

      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.
