Total repression and air strikes bring daily unrelenting dread for Iranians

Did you see the line of MAGA patriots outside the recruiting station this morning lining up to die for a pedo and Israel? Yeah? Me neither.

suggestion - try reading an article before deciding from a headline that it must just reaffirm your own (obviously correct, obviously) personally held beliefs from your safe 8000 mile away vantage point and one where not a single \*actual\* Persian or Iranian individual was consulted in forming. Highly suspect that those with the most confident, strongest and loudest opinions have ever even personally met someone from this country. Ill try to help make some of the issues reported slightly less complex so that even the expert level headline readers may possibly have a better fuller understanding of what this article reports. *Like so many young Iranians, Baran saw her hopes of change devastated in recent months. Thousands of people were killed in a crackdown by regime forces in January after widespread demonstrations demanding change* *The official narrative is the only one allowed. State television broadcast footage of demonstrations and funerals are the only ones allowed for release. Interviews with pro-regime officials that offer repeated denunciations of America and Israel allowed only. Regime propaganda pushing the narrative that all Iranians are ready and willing to suffer martyrdom only* *Independent journalists try to gather testimony of the alternative views, but they run the risk of arrest, torture and possibly execution when they do. The official narrative is the only one allowed* *said on condition of anonymity "It's not that we are supporting America or Israel, but hoping simply that for one moment, something might happen that ends the current Iranian regime, and that the people will be able to create change."* This is NOT a one victim one villian situation. It is extremely fraught and complicated. To have these silly one note uneducated opinions is an insult to all those who have already laid down their lives to try and secure a brighter future for the people they love.

> Baran thinks the war may go on for years, and that its psychological effects will last even longer. "This war will not end soon, because this war is inside our homes, inside the families…The war has entered our blood and has entered our lives." America has made even more enemies that will hate us their entire lives, and they'll pass on this hatred to their children. The damage we're doing is generational, and it not only endangers us now, but it endangers future Americans as well. All because, what, Trump (pedo) wants to distract from the fact that he's a pedo? Any tragedies that stem from this, either abroad and even possibly on our home soil, now and in the future, is on MAGA and non-voters who didn't even do the bare minimum of filling out a ballot to help stop this, across all elections.

The great thing about killing civilians. The ones who survive will never forgive you. Man we suck at propaganda wars

There is something seriously wrong with this war.

Then their leaders shouldn't have bombed us even though we weren't an immediate threat to them. Or was it the polar opposite of that? Seriously though, my heart bleeds for the children who now (and in the past) live under constant fear of death coming from the sky. And why did Trump start a war? It's because our inept president had a "feeling" it was time to destroy Iran before they hit us. Besides, Netanyahu wanted us to bomb them. What Israel wants, it gets. This, what Trump likes to call an "excursion", will tarnish America's presence in the world possibly forever.

Iran's economy was already experiencing a total implosion and they were apparently ready to agree to sign a new nuclear inspection deal. It's fully possible we would have seen a Ukrainian style popular revolution within the next few years. Instead, this war was assessed by the Pentagon to STRENGTHEN the position of the extremist government in Iran, and set back or eliminate any possibility of the Iranian people overthrowing the regime. That is the assessment of the US military intelligence apparatus. This war was about Trump distracting from the Epstein files, about Israel protecting it's 'value' as a check against Iran in the region by doing everything possible to keep Iran hostile and prevent a popular revolution, and about giving Russia and China a massive strategic win by bogging down the US in it's own unforced error and burning through strategic stockpiles. If someone were TRYING to destroy US global power projection, destabilize the US economy, distance the US from it's allies, and strengthen it's geopolitical adversaries, this is *exactly what they would do*.

Then why are their people still celebrating? The Palestinian people and the Iranian people are roughly suffering the same, but the difference is the Palestinians have been lied to about who the real cause is, and Iranians haven't been.
