Probably the point. Make Weatern countries more toxic and increase tensions, security budgets, and potential violent outcomes.

No. This will make the population be more against Iran and the support for the UK to support US aggression in Iran. So it does not make sense for Iran to actually want this to happen. The UK already has issues with how they handle the illegal immigrants.

FWIW: I think most Iranians in the UK are there *because* they fled this regime. The embassy isn't rallying the diaspora, it's fishing for a tiny hardline fringe and identifying who's still loyal to Tehran. The real question is why the UK still hasn't designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation.

Do you know kids and families of many IRGC officials live in the Western countries?

Where do you get the information that China hates the west? The only time their government make comments that are close to "hate" is when it's about Taiwan, even then it's closer to "Taiwan is a part of China" or something like that. Chinese people also don't really hate the west either.

medicatedadmin Apr 28, 2026 +1

As someone who has a number of iranian-migrant friends, i can say you are very likely correct. The IRGC has sewn such an insane level of paranoia amongst its people that even when an iranian ex-pat meets another on the other side of the world, they are instantly consumed by the thought that this new person might be an agent of their former overlords.

Why do they have an Iranian embassy is another question.

Automata-Omnia Apr 28, 2026 -8

Because unlike US diplomacy, normal countries maintain dialogue rather than bombing schools and late night twitter rants/threats.

OkBuyer- Apr 28, 2026 +7

why did we bomb that school? was it close to a target of interest and ended up collateral?

philtjz Apr 28, 2026 +1

From what I understand, the school building used to be part of an adjacent military base but was separated from it a few years ago and converted into a school. Both the school and the base next to it was targeted in the same strike, so it’s likely a case of outdated intelligence exacerbated by the use of AI in target selection without stringent human oversight.

1

OkBuyer- Apr 28, 2026 +1

so clankers saw the back rooms and noticed there was a threat there, too?

1

earazahs Apr 28, 2026 +1

No, Ai likely saw that it had a target designation and put it on a list. No human double checked the list to see the target was deprecated.

Then the IDF and while you're at it the US military should have been declared terrorist when they murdered 1 million civilians in Iraq. Shit they would need to declare themselves terrorists for what they did in India, Ireland and Palestien to name a few.

cyberianscribe Apr 28, 2026 +1

The UK government is set to officially define the IRGC as a terrorist organisation (in July). Given the extensive and powerful network that that regime has been allowed to build in The UK over decades - all people connected to or who are part of that network in The UK stand to lose a great deal. I think this call for sacrifice, by the regime, is a desperate reaction to their imminent definition as a terrorist organisation.

1

misnomer88 Apr 28, 2026 +1

But why is it taking so long to proscribe it? We’re not just lagging behind the US here, we’re lagging behind the EU which proscribed it months ago.

cyberianscribe Apr 28, 2026 +1

The network the regime built in The UK is the most powerful and influential amongst all its other networks in other countries - extending into the political realm via its lobbying elements.

Probably with the full support of the "Globalize the Intifada" useful idiots, who rooted for Hamas and Hezbollah. Perhaps some will change their tune when experience Islamic terrorism more directly.

ApologiseMeowMeow Apr 28, 2026 +12

Not a chance they've already convinced themselves that these terrorist are just suppressed people. Just look at how these people react to none Israel Jews living in the UK who have been targeted, they are all guilty by association.

I’d shut the Iranian and Russian embassies. They are just control centres for spying and terrorism.

I assume that in some ways, that’s useful to know

Shawn_The_Sheep777 Apr 28, 2026 +1

Im sure there are legitimate reasons why they don’t but I do wonder if they outweigh the benefits of closing them down.

I mean, f*** the Islamic Republic and the IRGC and I hope the US/Israel resume the process of wiping them off the earth, but this is just a stupid word by word translation issue. The "Jaan Fada" initiative is something the Islamic Republic started in Iran to recruit people from the general public to join the army/IRGC to defend Iran. It's more of a PR stunt tbh because they're just inflating the numbers on the system by publishing fake numbers or using bots and stuff. The direct translation is "one who sacrifices their life" but it doesn't mean they're suicide bombers - it's just the Persian language being over dramatic. Assuming the embassy in London is just trying to get some more people to go sign up on the online system so they can brag about it to the media...

1

Lets_getouttahere Apr 28, 2026 +1

It's only for PR as long as no one signs up or adheres to the orders/wishes of the Islamic Republic. To say the Islamic Republic uses its foot soldiers only to "defend" would be disingenuous. "Defense" is how they try to sell it internally, but look at the Iran-Iraq war, when Khomeini rejected a truce offer two years into the war, and sent hundreds of thousands of Iranians to their death, because "The Road to Jerusalem Passes Through Karbala".

Sympathyzing with the Iranian side more than with the American side in the current conflict and admiring/supporting the iranian regime are different things. Many people who sympathize with iran are also secular progressive leftists, and they obviously wouldn't admire the conservative right-wing theocratic government of iran where executions are common and the punishment for same-sex relationships is death.
