    “Sorry but in my defense it totally worked as intended and now you’re all too afraid to protest”

    “Sorry we killed over 6,000 human beings. Oops our bad”. What a piece of crap.

    All tryrants, throughout the world, need to be removed from power.

    We need to stop letting the ultra rich divide us. Wake Up!

    Peace and Love to all, especially those that have given their lives in pursuit of a better one for us all.

    At first, I was really mad that they machine gunned unarmed protestors by the thousands in broad daylight. But if he is sorry, then all is forgiven!

    This reads like one of those $5 credits apology emails you get from your carrier when they have an outage that lasts for multiple day.

  5. It must be noted that while the Iranian president is indeed part of the Iranian governing super structure he has no control over the Iranian security forces. While his apology is extremely insincere he can’t really be directly blamed for the crackdown.

    Trump: “Help is coming!” Now: “See I helped prevent another war. He said he was sorry for killing so many people, so everything is great again.”

    The president has essentially no power in Iran. Anything he or Iran’s parliament wants to do needs to be approved by the Ayatollah.

    For example, this guy disagrees with forcing women to wear a hijab but he can’t do anything about it.

    I’m not saying the president is a good person, but all he basically does is handle the day to day stuff. The Ayatollah and the people around him make all the big decisions.

    F them and the IRGC apologists here in the United States. Typically on the younger side 🤢 Yes, they exist and shame on them.

  9. Y’all remember that South Park episode where the cable company workers all apologized to the people while rubbing their nipples at the same time? This is pretty much it.

  10. “We’re so sorry we slaughtered you in the streets by the thousands or tens of thousands. We’re sorry we accidentally demanded large sums of money for the return of the bodies of your loved ones that we murdered. We’re so incredibly sorry for going into hospitals and shooting hospital patients in the head. It is our utmost shame that we’ve spent the past 5 decades oppressing you, and beating women to death for not properly wearing a hijab. We will continue to do all of these things with zero plans of stopping, but also we’re sorry”

    When these fuckers get what’s coming to them, there will be no sorry. Just celebrations the world over. Fuck these pieces of shit.
