Top Iranian graduate student faces imminent execution, activists warn

That's actually what some have been warning of Iran's leadership about. In iran, each year, there is a national exam called konkour, where 12th grade students take an exame in three fields (science, mathematics, Humanities ) to enter universities. Almost all the top people from each field leave the country immediately after the test. And this has been going for more than two decades at least.

Iranians in general are intelligent (look at what they’ve achieved outside of Iran), it’s just that religious assholes run the country as a dictatorship and have no problem killing their own people.

And nukes unfortunately

Or mess up a supposed superpower and it's rabid dog.

I'm Iranian and I hate the regime, they have murdered my family members, harassed them, etc. Absolute trash. The problem with the war is that it's not being executed properly. It was half cocked and I'm deathly afraid it will result in an even more emboldened regime if they don't actually ensure that the country is free from the ayatollahs and the IRGC. I'm worried this will make matters worse and will affect the civilian population even more. They are executing so many people now and it doesn't seem to be an end to it. It's like the war isn't affecting them, they just keep killing people.

Just dumb MAGA logic. You know it's possible to oppose Trump's actions and Iran's actions right?

Man, I hate the Iranian regime. If I had the slightest faith whatsoever that this war would result in the removal of the Ayatollahs from power I would be all for it. But this is an absolute shitshow. The government clearly has no plan and no solution to the military realities of the situation and has been desperately scrambling ever since Iran first responded by closing the strait. All of the US' naval resources have proven incapable of reopening it in the face of a bunch of guys with speedboats, naval mines from the 70s, and some drones. This is an embarrassing disaster that will likely result in Iran successfully imposing a toll on the strait and strengthening the regime with billions of dollars a year in revenue. None of that gets us anywhere closer to a free Iran. It is rank incompetency that should disgust those who want to overthrow the regime the most.

Being opposed to Trump because he turns everything he touches to shit is not the same thing as supporting the Iranian government. I read the US demands for Iran to end the conflict and they don't mention removal of the current government or protecting any of the protesters or stopping executions. They're just a rehash of the nuclear agreement Obama had with Iran. If Iran agrees to dismantle reactors and allow inspections, they can execute thousands of people and Trump and Netaynahu will take it as a win. The second Hegseth called rules of engagement "stupid" and bombed that girls school is the second this regime scored a massive propaganda win and made Trump's war and those that supported it look like they weren't concerned about helping the Iranian people at all. Same goes for Trump's threats to annihilate the country and cause mass destruction. I look forward to when this conflict ends and people like you starts saying "well...we tried to help but the Iranian people didn't rise up soo..." like what happened in Afghanistan. Because all this conflict did was make life worse for everyone. I'm sure these protesters you're so concerned with are thanking you profusely for telling them help was on the way and they should rise up and then abandoning them to the wolves. But then they're not the first group in the Middle East to be dumped like that by the American government. Edit: I will also add, since you're asking US leftists specifically, that this conflict started around the same time the US government was calling Americans protestors "terrorists" in order to justify their murder by US authorities. The optics of doing then and then telling everyone we need to invade Iran to protest the people's right to protest was not lost on on anybody with an IQ above room temperature.

They don't necessarily support the regime, they just want to see Trump fail more than they want to see the regime fall. They don't really care what "it" is, if Trump does "it" then they will automatically be against it.

Leftists do not support the Iranian regime. They also do not support Trump's actions. Both Trump and Iran can be the bad guys here.

The US assassinated a head of state to distract from the Epstein files. They bombed a school killing 150 girls and they didn't even blink. The entire world's energy economy is now in chaos. Being against this isn't the same thing as supporting the Iranian regime. 

Why do you support raping children?

We have a ton of evidence about tb thousands of deaths, exact numbers are harder to pin down

Yeah the world would totally be doing all kinds of things to stop this if the US and Israel weren't in the way!

That's a good thing, no? Having us and Israel in the way of the IRGC executing students feels like an easy W (unless someone has irrational hatred of Israel to the point that innocent graduate students dying is acceptable)
