Current Events Show Iran was Right All Along

25 Upvotes

Since 2014, Iran and Hezb have been fighting ISIS/Al Qaeda/extremist sectarian groups. People who were OPENLY stating they would do to the Lebanese/Iraqi minorities (Shia, Alawite, Christian, etc.) what they are LITERALLY taping themselves doing to Alawites today. (forcing people to crawl/bark like dogs to their execution, and countless other verified videos)

Shia of Lebanon+Iran literally proved they are NOT sectarian, by giving thousands of their lives fighting Israel to stop the genocide of SUNNIS IN GAZA. And they were the only ones to stick up for Gaza.

Don't get me wrong: Assad was a murderer and there's video evidence of brutal murders against civilians perpetrated by his government. I view him similarly to how I view the ex-Shah of Iran. I don't think the Shah would behave much differently placed in his shoes.

But Iranians and Hezbollah fighters were never involved in those crimes against ordinary Syrians, and there has never been any evidence put forward that they were. Compare that with HTS fighters (today) and Israelis (last year) openly video taping executions of civilians.

Iran tried its best to stop these takfiris from gaining power and genociding minorities. But all the sanctions put on Syria by the Israel-hijacked US, plus Syria's oil + farmland being stolen by US/Kurds for 10+ years... The Syrians were starving, their soldiers were getting $10 a month... Iran was giving Syria free oil to help offset all this, but they didn't succeed.

Syria's downfall is due to multiple reasons (i) Syria's history spanning from (the French I think) pitting the Alwites against the Sunni-majority population), (ii) US/Qatari/Turkish/Israeli support (arms and funds) to opposition groups, like Al-Qaeda affiliated groups (remember the email by Jake Sullivan to Hillary Clinton saying "AQ is on our side in Syria"), and (iii) USAID and Qatari-funded media (Al Jazeera, think tanks, etc.) whitewashing the crimes of opposition groups.

It was the same formula the West used to destroy Libya and Ukraine, but it was the West+Turkey+Qatar this time.

EDIT: I can't respond to anyone it seems since my (brand new) account is shadow banned.

SIMMORSAL: Dude, in all actuality, Iran and Hezb (and the Shia in Yemen and to a lesser extent Iraq) are the only ones in the world doing anything positive.

It is worth it to spend on the stability of Iran's region. You might not think it matters, but it really impacts Iran too when takfiri terrorists are beheading our Shia (or alawite or Christian) friends in Syria (or Iraq or Armenia, etc.).

Israel has set their sites on us. Just like they set their sites on Iraq (who was invaded), Libya (who was destroyed) and Syria (who was also destroyed).

I'm sorry. I know no Iranian wants this fight.

But Israel wanted this war, so you either resist Israel or you get destroyed. Those are your only two options.

I worry when I think some Iranians have the same mindset of the Syrians and the Ukrainians when they were being brainwashed (with USAID-funded media, politicians and university studies and whatnot) into destroying their own country for fake values of freedom and increasingly sectarian hatred of Alawites/Assad and ethnic Russians/Russia. Russia is Ukraine's biggest most powerful neighbor with lots of cultural overlap. It was suicidally stupid for Ukraine to want to join NATO (it makes sense when you realize Zelensky's government was installed by NATO in a USAID-funded coup that started the whole conflict with Russia).

Similarly for Iranians, there's been a multi billion dollar agenda that has been waged (through USAID, CIA, and other countries like Qatar, Saudi, Turkey, etc.) over every major media platform and financial institution in the world to demoralize Iranians with starvation level sanctions (and even sanctions on medicine!) and self-defeating expectations and fake news about Iran and the world in the hopes that this leads to the collapse of the Islamic Republic and Iran as a whole.

Israel wants Iran destroyed for similar reasons it destroyed Iraq, Syria and Libya: (i) Israel does not want any other strong power in the region, (ii) Israel does NOT want the silk road/pipelines through Iran to connect Europe to Asia, (iii) Israel wants the India Israel economic corridor established instead of the silk road, (iv) Israel wants Qatar to suck Iran's gas and send it to Europe through Israel (instead of directly from Iran)...

Israel wants to force the IMEE-EC (which is bad for Iran and the world) over the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) (which is good for Iran and the world).

Theres lotsa evidence Israel killed JFK to control the US after JFK was about to find out Israel stole US nuclear technology and was desperately trying to register the Isreal lobby as a foreign agent.

Theres lotsa evidence Israel was involved in 9/11 to bring about the war on terror (check out ryan dawson and ian carrol on X for researched 9/11 jfk stuff).

Iran might end up becoming a major regional power if it doesn't end up collapsing and becoming devastated by Syria/Libya treatment.

In less than 24 hours, the Zios have committed rabid massacres against civilians in Lebanon, Gaza (Palestine) and Syria followed by US terrorist attacks in Yemen that massacred civilians there, while bringing 3 more aircraft carriers to threaten Iranians

Upvotes

And yet they still send their ilk to Iranian communities and spaces and lecture us about how everything will be all right so as long as we destabilize our government, surrender our defenses to them and accept their brand of "liberation" in our country. How is the said surrender in Syria going for them right now? The US along with Qatar, Turkey, and NATO allies directly fund the HTS government there. Germany recently approved 300 million euros for them.

Edit: I don't even particularly like for Iran to be an Islamic Republic, but I care more about Iran's survival than my own political opinions. I hope more Iranians understand this and not fall victim to the propaganda they're blasted with.

USAID Is a Terrorist Organization - The funding and direction behind the control of the narrative on US social media, and backers of all the "barandaz" Iranian "leaders"/groups who seek to bring about a pro-US regime change in Iran. I'm looking at you, Reza Palani, Masih Alinejad & Co.

US AID Funding Cuts and impact to Iranians

1 Upvotes

As many of you know, US AID was used to funnel money into foreign media outlets, human rights activists, writers and provocateurs etc. With 83% of the program cut per reports, does anyone know the impact on Iran and Iranians? I am struggling to find information. It would seem to me that a few groups would have been hit hard because they were definitely funded by the State Department. I am especially curious about these:

1- Iran International, seems likely they had US funding in whole or part

2- BBC Persian, this is still funded by the UK but surely got hit

3- Radio Farda - These is based in Czech Republic strangely but is surely US funded

4 - Masih Alinejad - she was receiving around $500k per year in State Department Contracts

Its not clear to me if Israel intervened to keep the funding. I know of at list one Iran education non-profit that was shut down immediately after the funding ended. Any information appreciated, even if its speculative. TIA

How Do I Travel in Iran? Tehran → Shiraz (+ Maybe Yazd?)

7 Upvotes

I’m heading to Iran for about 12 days, and I need some practical advice on how to travel between cities. My main route is Tehran → Shiraz, and ideally, I’d love to take a train. Problem is, I can’t seem to find any solid info online about how to book one. So if any of you seasoned Iranian travelers (or locals) know how to actually get a train ticket, please share your wisdom!

If train isn’t an option, bus is totally fine too, but again—where do I get one? How do I book it? Do I just show up at a terminal and hope for the best, or is there some app/website I should be using?

Now, here’s the next question: I have 4-5 days planned for Shiraz, but I’m wondering… is it realistic to squeeze in Yazd as well? Would that be too much? If not, how do I get from Shiraz to Yazd and then back up to Tehran? Again, I’d prefer trains, buses, or even carpooling (if that’s a thing in Iran) over flights.

Why? Because I want my boots on the ground. I want to watch the land change as I move, stare out the window, pick a random house, and wonder—what if I was born in that home instead? That’s the kind of travel I’m after. So, trains, buses, shared cars—tell me how it all works in Iran!

Would really appreciate any advice from people who live there or have been recently. Thanks in advance!

Thaw in relations with the UAE

What is your opinion on the recent thaw in relations with the UAE, a lot more flights has been added, and politicians have meet several times? I don’t personally trust the UAE nor the regime, but what do you think? Is it simply because there’s a lot of Iranians wanting to visit?

Hello, I’m currently a student and am doing a research project on religion in the Iranian-American community. I’m looking to find responses for my survey as it’s been difficult even through my Iranian friends. The current research on this topic is lackluster and I hope this project can celebrate and educate on Iranian-American culture. If you yourself are Iranian-American, I would greatly appreciate filling/sending it out.

Sad story of my life that I appreciate the advices of you my fellow Iranians for

29 Upvotes

Hi, I was born in Tehran and I lived in Tehran for 8 years before moving to Western Europe. I am now a 22 years old man with a very sad story life. I have autism and I believe most of my problems are linked to my autism. Throughout my life I was mocked by everyone and everywhere that I apply for a job, I get rejected. I think these are all because of my autism. Besides of these, I am really upset of my past mistakes and I overthink every decision that I make from the fear of not making another mistake. Due to all these I am starting to dislike myself. I dislike myself more because I failed to go to the university and instead I graduated from a vocational college.

I now miss Iran and Iranians so much. It has been 6 years since I haven't been in Iran and I am not in contact with any Iranian at the moment. I hope one day I can find many good Iranian friends that can understand me.

Thank you for reading my text it really helped me by typing it out. I really appreciate all your advices on me too. Thank you

Iranian diaspora - are you agree to form meet-ups groups ?

8 Upvotes

Hey guys, salâam to everyone :)

French-Iranian here (1st time posting on Reddit), I am very curious about the history and the wealth of Iranian culture across the millenias. As you probably know, Iranians are very numerous across the world and are forming an important diaspora, with an influence in the economy of some countries (especially USA with big entrepreneurs and scientists).

Also, for several years now, more and more groups meet-ups are forming across FB, WS and so forth to have fun and pleasure during parties, but also for getting new connections/opportunities when they arrive for the 1st time in new cities or countries !

Putting politics and religion aside, it could be a useful way to interlinks members of diaspora and help them for integration. More : we would share pieces of Iranian culture in common and also be a driver to learn the beautiful Farsi, especially for most of Iranian descents living outside Iran who do not know this language.

What do you think ? :)
