You are aware that apostasy is a crime in gulf states. And you think Iranian women will be in minskirts soon ?

Not just a crime … a serious crime incurring the death penalty.

Not sure if that will happen. Trump appears to have converted to Islam ?

Ok if you say so. Hopefully the women can return to freedom from acid attacks and similar if they don’t comply.

Those around Trump have enabled and praised him

Yep. They have done nothing to rein him in.

He should be sectioned.

Well definitely using religion to justify things hard to know which one:

A US army watchdog, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), said in March it received emailed complaints that US service members were told by senior commanders that the war with Iran is meant to “cause Armageddon”, or the biblical “end times”.

Retirement of Randy George is latest high-profile dismissal since the US defence secretary took office last January.

It wasn’t in Iran in 1979 but the women who spoke up were brutally oppressed.

I hope they get back to where they were before that.

Let’s see. The images from 1979 looked better for women.

I hope they get back what they lost.

Good. Because the people there hopefully would get religious freedom if the Guard were to go.

So even a message of peace on Easter Sunday can be about that freedom.

Since the pp I’ll add it again, it should all stop and the Guards leave.

Edited

The Guards leave and then what?

EasternStandard · 05/04/2026 13:25

RedTagAlan · 05/04/2026 13:21

The Gulf states are not famed for Religious Freedom. I think you are being a bit optimistic there.

Anyway, Trump says the old regime is gone, and the new one is more moderate.

The war has not brought regime change. It’s not even an objective.

RedTagAlan · 05/04/2026 13:04

EasternStandard · 05/04/2026 13:00

Arguing against the hope that the people there are free of the war and the Revolutionary Guard soon so they can live and thrive freely is odd.

Why is it odd ? You mentioned Easter, and I remarked that Trump started this war during a religious festival they have, and their new year.

Do you not think the people there would have liked to do their festivals before Trump started to bomb them with no notice and no declaration of war.

What an odd reply. I’m sure the people there would want it all to stop and the Revolutionary Guard to go.

Iranians don't do Easter.

In fact, Trump started this war during an Iranian religious festival and their new year.

I think the pp has it right everyone should stop and the leaders should go too and Iranians can be free of them.

A good thing to hope for on this Easter Sunday,

This war is not doing anything to deter the Iranian regime, they actually seem to have ramped up their executions since it started.

Anyways Peace and love to everyone, I am going back to spending this religious day with my family. I hope you all (who celebrate the rising from the death of Christ) have a lovely Easter and enjoy some delicious chocolate.

Edit: I put Christ in brackets as I do not know the faith of all posters and do not want to insult.

Gorilla warfare, build up a rebel army, the Iranian landscape would help, numbers increase.

Other countries forcing the change through war will bring the people together against a common enemy.

There’s been uprisings every decade or so 1999, 2009, 2022 and now. It’s very tough, your suggestions haven’t happened.

You can be against what’s happening and realise the horror Iranians are facing with daily executions, no way to tell people, torture etc.

And see the reality of getting out from under a 47 year guard set up to stop the people opposing them, and using any means to do that.
