The mullahs have imported 5k mercenaries to bring the protestors to heel. There's a break down in the food chain, there's no electricity, the temperature is 4c there snow forecast today.

I haven't bothered with this thread because of the eejits, shills that are blathering. American boots are on the ground now they say . Iranian airspace, airlines have been told to avoid.

I'm just 🙏 for the Iranian men, women and children, that the mercenaries are held back in time for them to survive.

Thanks to all for the understanding and the kind words! 🙏🏽

I listened to yesterday’s episode of Tousi TV, he also talked about the mercenaries.
Absolutely awful, but he also mentioned that one of the reasons might be merging cases of defection within the Iranian security apparatus.
Praying for the brave people in Iran.

The IRGC must be dismantled and face the families of the victims.

I've listened to Tousi TV it's very useful for the families and friends outside Iran. News is so scant.

Thank you again for sharing and for your patience when dealing with this.

As you said you "provided evidence showing some of the images from that so-called pro-regime rally were fake, and suddenly you claim you “can’t comment” because you’re not an expert. If I were presenting this as a pro-regime supporter, I’m certain you would be taking my word for it, which makes it clear where your sympathies lie".

I think you're talking to someone who is pro regime who doesn't wish to listen to a real Iranian explain the struggles of the people in Iran. Sadly, some people stick their fingers in their ears and don't care for truth.

I hope the people of Iran prosper over the evil regime.

I am sorry that poster is picking apart from you and other Iranian say.

Stay strong.

I agree they are.

The protestors are heroes not criminals.

There are still thousands languishing in jail for the temerity of wanting freedom and the day the regime falls will be a good one for the world.

I can't see any moral case for supporting the regime.

I do wonder also about the overlap between pro Palestinian supporters and those that day Iran is a complex situation or unashamedly supporters of the regime.

There is no moral cause whatsoever for supporting the regime I agree.

The people of Iran deserve the support of the whole world. Only those who support authoritarian religious regimes could think otherwise.

What is there to wonder about? I mean its clear as day. Across here, socials, media the Pallies are silent or equivocating. Its not complicated, I can't think of a clearer moral case than Iran and they have been clearly exposed by it. Deeply shameful.

Yes they have been exposed. Even the ones who seemed like they genuinely cared about Gaza purely from a humanitarian angle have been discredited by their silence on Iran.

No Jews no news - have we ever seen a clearer example of the truth of this saying.

And I can assure you the Iranians have noticed and will not forget.

I completely agree. They are so vocal on this board but Iran ……….
Silence

I also agree.
Just as an example, someone on here started a thread two days ago about how the Iranian regime demanded payment from the families of the protesters they killed for their bodies to be released.
Absolutely sickening, yet there have been only a handful of replies so far. None of the usual levels of outrage as seen on countless other CITME threads on whatever Israel is doing.

It’s the ardent pro pals that concern me - the ones who go on the marches and answer every concern with “but the genocide”. They seem to believe their thinking is humane and compassionate rather than ideological and simplistic.
Their lack of interest in the suffering of the Iranians is noted.

Yes, I’ve seen a wave of what looked like bot accounts on X in the last couple of weeks, desperately trying to draw the attention back to Gaza by posting endless clips of tents and strong winds. No word about Iran of course.
But what’s more concerning are all the posts from verified accounts (like Owen Jones, Zarah Sultana, Humza Yousaf and others).
Outrage about the hunger strikers, gleeful comments about the Jewish Labour MP whose school visit was cancelled, and now they seem concerned about the West Midlands Police Chief and some even about that doctor Rahmeh Aladwan who’s just been arrested for the fourth time in about a year for her horrible antisemitic comments.
When it comes to Iran they’re quite reserved. Humza Yousaf posted couple of days ago that we should listen to Iranian voices, but also that the “External forces, that have caused so many of the problems we witness in Iran today should back off”. Hmmm…

And yet they were generally so quiet about external forces (ie Iran) meddling in Gaza/WB and elsewhere. Go figure.

Iran can never be a meddling external force in their eyes apparently. It’s really bizarre.

And by “external forces”, they really just mean Mossad and Israel (with help from America).

It is interesting, because they clearly know how conspiratorial and crazy that sounds, hence, the silence.

They don’t want to expose their anti-Semitism (because that’s basically what it is) and undermine the Palestinian cause; so they say nothing.

There are, however, some who are are just too far gone to care. One or two have appeared on this thread.

The enemy of my enemy an all that isn’t it?

I have always stood for a free Palestine because I I recognise that pain. This whole situation has shown me who people really are.

The so called humanitarians have gone quiet. Even people I once considered close friends who were very vocal about Palestine, have not reached out once to ask about my family or loved ones, despite how vocal I have been. That silence hurts more than I expected.

What makes it worse is seeing some of those same people now posting complete nonsense about things they clearly do not understand.

When it was Gaza/israel, they were loud about not trusting Western or mainstream media and told everyone it was all lies. Now suddenly, the moment it suits them, every word from that same Western media is treated like unquestionable truth.

I see the hypocrisy. I and my people will not forget it.

Very sorry @Addybee that even close friends have let you down at this time.

This is the very time they should be supporting you the most and extending their concern about humanitarian causes to the poor people in Iran.

A friend of mine who is longstanding Iranian ally who has Iranian family and lots of Iranian friends told me the other day that I was the only non-Iranian/non-Jew who was checking in with her. I was gobsmacked. Note, her Jewish friends understood.

I'm sorry it's like this. As the truth emerges I hope they feel shame.
