    I’m always cautious of numbers in situations like this.

    But it seems it has crossed the threshold into “they are killing people”, and Trump said he’d act if they started killing people.

    The real question is… what action is there to take? If you start bombing in Iran, there is a chance the people hide instead of protest, and while many of them hate the government many also hate the USA and Israel. Not really sure what there is to do, besides use CIA/mossad to sneak guns in or something.

    Or maybe I guess he could kill/kidnap the supreme leader… but once again that risks stalling the protests rather than spurring them on. Regardless, time is of the essence. We may not hear any actual attack if it’s CIA until this is all over. But I’d wager Trump is going to do something. Toppling Iran and getting credit for it is a bit too much for Trump to pass up. Plus the protestors named a street after him already… that’s the kind of stuff Trump lives for.

  2. I hope the Iranian people are able to topple this regime and get some normalcy to their lives.

  3. What this regime doesn’t get is that the population has nothing left to lose there is no fucking water.

    With so many smartphones, we may not know the truth in real time. But give it days, weeks, months and lots of footage will be out there of what really is happening

    Fastest way for this regime to assure its own death. They’re going to quarter Khameinei in public. Did he forget how he attained power?

    The silence of the world is deafening. So many pages and people that have talked about Gaza relentlessly, who then started talking about Sudan even have not even mentioned what’s happening in Iran (and many other places).

    Why do people make such passionate gestures about one conflict but not another that’s very close by and deeply related to the Palestinian conflict, even.

  7. Authoritarian regimes will always kill a bunch of people if they think it will keep them in power and they ca n get away with it. If they give up peacefully, they will wind up back in power under the new institutions and be more powerful than ever.

  8. The whole botfarm discourse is focused on Palestine, Venezuela and Minnesota now. There is no time for attention towards Iran or Sudan because no whites or jews are involved.

  9. Free Iran! Or are we still supporting them like the left did over the summer?

    This regime needs to go.

  10. Is the US allowed to help yet or do we just hate Trump too much to allow him to do productive things?

  11. The Islamic Republic is escalating its crackdown. There is a full media blackout. No internet, landlines, or cell phones. They are shooting at people. We aren’t asking for much, just be our voice. Please share what is happening on your socials. The regime relies on the world looking away. Don’t let them.

    Fuck the Islamic Regime!

    Stay safe, good people of Iran! You deserve the freedom and justice you are fighting for!

    wtf? People just want to live and love their family and friends. Why the fuck is the world still being fucked over by shitty governments? Constant bullshit over money and power.

    Every member of the Iranian military involved in these murders should get the Nuremberg treatment

  15. Jesus christ. The Iranian people are incredibly brave. Even knowing the possible outcome they still protest. But killing 2K of your own people over 2 days is an insane number. Really hope these fuckers pay.
