Should the US become involved in helping protesters in Iran?

[Ihatetomatoes]

The situation is awful there now. Should the US become involved?

The people of Gaza might have a half decent chance of a life with Hamas broke and broken.

Trump is a prick and a bully, and I hope he acts like both those things and cuts the head off the snake.

I don't give a shit about US/Israeli manipulation. MY children will be safer with these bastards destroyed.

In this case I think intervention is warranted, and ridding the world of current Iranian leadership would be a great thing.

Yes of course the US should get involved, look how well that's worked in the Middle East over the years, in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Libya - remember the "Arab Spring", what could possibly go wrong...

@RedTagAlan I’ve been trying to find more details on the 25% tariff announcement.

According to CN Business they will be in addition to existing tariffs. If they are right, the new tariff could mean a minimum 45% tariff rate on goods from China for example, versus the current rate of 20%.

CNN Business report that China’s foreign ministry today decried the move, pointing out that there are no winners in a tariff war.

Do you think Iranians can overthrow the regime without help?

Throwing a few missiles into Iran will not get rid of the current regime.

That would require a sustained attack and a blockade but even then, with no get out for the regime, they will just stay and fight, they have no choice, no one will have them & atm the Iranian Army have said they promise to to stay loyal...

Look at Syria? the place was utterly destroyed before Assad fled.

This is why Trump thinks he's untouchable. People seem to think the US are the world's Police Force.

Yes

Cool. It just goes to show how little Trump thinks. Anyone else would make it clear.

They don't tend to get involved. They also don't get criticised for not helping much either 🤔

However, when the West do get involved they are critised (often by Westerners) and when they don't get involved they are also criticised.

Well exaclty I guess they are also sitting on shaky ground with oppressive regimes

However I wonder what citizens of those countries think when they see the people or Iran with signs for help from USA ?? don't they think why not our leaders ?

Not our circus, not our monkeys...

Yep my take too.. we will just make the present death toll a thousand times worse..

@LeedsLoiner @Alexandra2001 just as well you weren't around in 1939 then. Sometimes it just is our circus and our monkeys.

That’s one way of looking at it. Presumably you take the same line on Gaza.

Palestine and Lebanon are fucked up because of Iranian intervention, they also helped assad murder 600’000 syrians, they fund milita in Iraq. They ayatollahs are there because of the the west. The least we can do is rectify this horrible stupid mistake.

Iran fundamentally destabikises the middle east. It’s part of the reason some pro pals don’t want interference in Iran, funding for Hezbollah and Hamas dried up.

It is when they fund groups like the houthis that fire into shipping lanes or try to carry out assassinations on UK soil, or destabilise places that leave us with a wave of refugees

Those bastards have had a good run. Time for them to go and let the rich culture that once was to shine through.

"They were criticism for not helping the kurds when Sadam gassed them"

The US were actively helping Iraq gas the Kurds and Iranians in the Iran Iraq war.

No. God forbid. The US should stay the fuck out of it, or we'll end up in WW3.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Muslim group, founded in Egypt in 1928.

They will 100% already be in Iran in some type of way aiding & encouraging the protestors. As others have said dropping bombs will do the regimes work for them.

I just think he will have encouraged protestors by saying they’ll go in if the regime threatens them, so he’s already been stirring - if those kids now don’t have internet access will they just keep pouring onto the streets to be slaughtered? All of which strengthens the grip of the regime so he’s already intervened and now has to follow up somehow.

Apparently its 12,000 slaughtered in days. The regime are just slaughtering their own people on the streets.
