I’m going to say this plainly. You can object the terms and reasons for Trump and Bibi’s irresponsible war without outright supporting the Islamic government that kills its own people. You can also support the Iranian people and draw attention to their plight without outright supporting the destruction and death the war has brought. You can root for Iranians to get their freedom without being under some misguided assumption bombing Iranians will bring it for them.  You should always support the innocent people in this, not the “sides” waging a war on them.

Trying to make that comparison is an insult to the thousands of Iranian protesters that were mercilessly gunned down in the streets.

I wasn’t aware ICE was using machine guns on protesters and killing them by the tens of thousands. Are they also gang raping teenagers and executing them off cranes during morning prayers? Were 1,500 people forced to surgically remove their eyes after being shot by plastic pellets? I don’t recall seeing hundreds of unmarked body bags and videos of parents rummaging through them to find their kids. I must have missed how the US is just like the Islamic republic.

i know your a bot but its so insensitive and delusional to compare ice to the Iranian regime which executes protestors

ICE actions were/are deplorable, but trying to draw a comparison between them vs Iran flying in militias to open up on full crowds of protestors with live ammunition and killing thousands of them is some lame shit. The Iranian regime exists in a whole other plane of evil beyond ICE. ICE sucks, but let's consider things in their proper scale.

So whats the difference with killing Alex pretti an American while he was protesting ?!

Exavion Apr 21, 2026 +45
scale and response. scale: the iranian regime killed not just one but thousands (maybe tens of thousands - data unclear) of Alex Prettis, so focusing on their one victim of thousands and comparing to one of the two most spoken about ICE victims in the USA this past year doesn't really hold water. response: in the US, news about both Renee and Alex were mainstream for a long time on many outlets, regardless of lean, and throughout social channels. in iran, internet is restricted, and media has limited reporting within the country especially against the it's regime. you can of course argue that the ICE deployment is a \*step\* in the direction of a martial law tyranny state, sure. but to compare them as apples to apples at a macro level seems insensitive to the thousands of victims who im sure wish they were dealing with ICE instead of the IRGC, we won't know since they're dead

This is what the people rooting for Iran need to see. Like yes, the USA under Trump f****** blows. Yes, this war is stupid as f***. Yes, I want it to be over. But to see people actually rooting for Iran is so idioitic. Like no, no, they're pretty f****** awful too. This is one of those moments where you just don't pick a side because both are fuckers. Like the best outcome is that the USA pulls out and stops this war and simultaneously the Iranian regime collapses.

Initial-Return8802 Apr 21, 2026 +32
"Pretty f****** awful" doesn't go far enough, we still remember Tiananmen Square 35 years later - that protest went on for *months* and negotiations with the students were genuine before authorities gave the final order and stepped in, CCP estimated ~240 dead, independent sources estimated 2400. The Iranians security forces make China's numbers look tame even by official figures and Iran's numbers are an order of magnitude higher.

Yup, odd enough.

Head-Hovercraft3328 Apr 21, 2026 +11
It’s definitely not odd. Iranians won’t root for their oppressors even if they don’t support the war

Beknotze Apr 21, 2026 +5
i guess you got me wrong. its odd that non iranians would protest in favour of the iranian government. obviously iranian wouldnt do that, at least not those who fled to europe from said regime.

Head-Hovercraft3328 Apr 21, 2026 +3
Oh I see what you mean. Yes it’s odd but unfortunately Trump is such a horrible person and poor leader people that are more exposed to and live under him think the Islamic republic are the good guys next to him.

That’s why I said more exposed to as well. Europeans will by proxy be more familiar with Trumps brazen stupidity and cruelty whereas Iran is more an elusive nation to them

DelayedIntentions Apr 21, 2026 -1
I have to wonder if these protests were pro regime or pro citizen? I find it hard to believe that people would be supporting the IRGC, but Iranian people are victims of their own government and US bombs, so there’s a lot of nuance to unpack.

They were pro regime. they had Islamic republic flags and pictures of the ayatollah at them

Pro Regime. These were basically anti israel protests. They mourned the death of the Ajatollah at those rallies.

Can yall please stop gaslighting Iranians about this. I’ve seen a ton of people root for the Iranian government and also deny or downplay their crimes against the Iranian people. In between seeing subs upvote IRGC propaganda and the genocidal rhetoric Trump has had about Iranians it has not been a good time to be an Iranian on social media for a while.

I'll pick the side of the people of Iran. The Iranian Regime wants wealth, power, and control. Trump wants oil and fame. The people want freedom from oppression. Trump is essentially being a useful idiot to the powers in the Middle East who want to topple the Regime that has been destabilizing the region for decades. My side in this is freedom for the people of Iran, and a chance for peace across the region.

>But to see people actually rooting for Iran is so idioitic. Like no, no, they're pretty f****** awful too. No one is rooting for the iranian regime as a whole. They're just rooting for them against the US in this particular series of events. It's kinda silly to think otherwise.... pretty obvious no one likes the regime.

Being told your child is alive… and then getting a body 60 days later is beyond cruel. That’s not just loss — it’s psychological torture for a family that held onto hope. No system should ever be able to do this and just move on.

This is one of the more harmless things they've done. They've raped girls and then the family had to pay apology money to the rapists and had to compliment and thank them. The state of Iran is utterly despicable.

Iran international news is a UK based digital news operation funded by Saudi Arabia.   Saudia Arabia and Israel have close ties to each other along with their mutual opposing views of Iran.

Less-Most-2861 Apr 21, 2026 +14
So, this means the obviously conservative theocratic right-wing regime of iran doesn't commit human rights abuses? Yes, iran international is obviously biased against iran and funded by saudi Arabia, but this doesn't mean that all of its criticisms or claims agaisnt iran are false. This is similar to how not every anti-USA or anti-israel claim of Press TV is false(despite Press TV being the English language state news media of the iranian government). Also, many international human rights organizations which have called Israel's actions in gaza genocides and condemned israel do also condemn the human rights violations by the iranian government(particularly human rights violations against gays, atheists other religious minorities etc).

rebork Apr 21, 2026 -12
Did I say that Iran doesn't commit there own human rights abuse?  Did I disagree with this article or state that this is false in any way?  I'm just stating a fact regarding the news outlet.  Everyone that downvoted me just had a knee jerk reaction to me pointing out potentially biases from the posted news outlet. My post is really about media literacy and making sure you trust but verify the article in question.

No I don't think I will.  Nice try thinking that I actually agree with the current Iranian government.  I want the Iranian people to have their own form of secular government, but I also don't want them to lose their lives to Israel who would rather see Iran as a failed state like what the US and Israel did to Syria.  What's worse right now?  The Iranian government or Israel/us whos is without a doubt massacring your homeland and it's people irregardless of military or civilian?  Look at Iraq, look at Syria, look at Lebanon, look at any country in the middle east that had years of us/Israeli intervention.   I am actually just pointing out the need for media literacy. Trust but verify the source.

Chokycorgi Apr 21, 2026 +17
The Islamic republic massacred at minimum 30,000 innocent civilians in the course of two days. Over the weeks of war we’ve had with US and Israel, they haven’t even reached a fraction of this. Even one innocent life lost is a tragedy, but your bullshit comparisons stink from a mile away. I’m not going to go back and forth with you because it’s a waste of time, but your stupidity and hypocrisy are flashing in neon lights.

straight to the name calling. you're too heated and full of biases. no point in talking to someone that clearly has one objective in mind. maybe you should do something about the current govt, Iranian diaspora girl.

I aint an IRGC shill, but your brain can't actually put two and two together cause you're heated. Good use of 'vacuous' though. kudos to you.
