The Islamic Republic has repeatedly threatened Iranian expats who oppose the regime or protest against the regime. The regime's agents have been going around the world attacking Iranian expats worldwide. It's time to force the regime to stop by removing it from power.

I’m also an Iranian who immigrated to Canada and became a citizen eventually. In my view, when you immigrate to a country and become a citizen, your loyalty should only be to that new country. Stop obsessing over what’s happening and what could happen to the old one. Move on.

you do you, but that's a terrible take and seriously unrealistic. people have connections all over the world and care deeply about them, regardless if/when someone has moved to a different country.

Certainly fine to care about your family. Not fine to get riled up so much you’d end up killing someone or causing any damage of sorts.
