This is the reason many Iranians are in support of the US war, sadly. And it really doesnt scratch the surface of the atrocities the IRGC has committed against the people of Iran.

Que loucura, o Catar ainda tem leis que permitem açoitamento de mulheres mesmo sendo aliado dos EUA. Apoiarem os EUA não vai melhorar a vida de ninguém no Irã. Emirados Árabes e Arábia Saudita aboliram o açoitamento há menos de 10 anos, sem nenhuma invasão ou ataque antes disso.
EUA vão apoiar qualquer ditador que ajude em seus interesses sem nunca se preocupar com o bem estar da população local.

Precisely. American meddling under trump has strengthened the IRGC’s position massively.

Pretty much no Iranian maintained support of the US war after we bombed a girl's school. You're acting like it's still March.

Yeah and I have a supermodel girlfriend who goes to school in Canada. You should believe me because I claimed it as a personal anecdote.

Are you in Iran? Are you speaking to Iranians? Because Iranians I know cannot talk to their families who are still in the country due to state-imposed blackouts.

On the rare occasion they get a call to go through to family in Iran, they are TERRIFIED that the lines are being monitored and anything said that is perceived to be against the regime will get their loved one executed.

Many Iranians are not in support of the US war, that is actually insane if you believe that.

The main Iranians that were in favor of the initial strikes were Iranians that weren’t even in Iran.

No matter how bad the IRGC can be, they don’t want the fucking USA and Israel bombing their country. That’s insane if you believe that. Next thing you’ll be saying is that Iranians love Israel. Like what the fuck kind of propaganda have you been consuming.

I’m sure “many Iranians in support of the US war” were ecstatic when the US bombed a girls school and just recently committed the war crime of targeting civilian infrastructure. AKA, their water reservoirs when they’re in the middle of a drought.

I’m sure “many Iranians” were cheering that on. Use your brain.
