    What do you expect iran to do want the whole west is imposing severe sanctions harming regular citizens. Iran as no choice but to work with russia. Iran could have been an neutral country if americans, israelis and britosh didn’t support the shah coup

      I expect them to stop harming their own civilians, too.

      We don’t need to cheer on an oppressive, totalitarian regime just because they’re at odds with another oppressive, totalitarian regime.

          Yes I condemn Israel, this isn’t an either/or type of situation. Both countries are shitty.

            Ukraine is also pretty shitty, but no one seems to have any problem understanding why people would cheer them on when they get attacked.

            Funny how liberals can only extend that privilege to white countries

            We saw how western and Israel intervention always has devastating effect to the population of those countries. The only rational way to think about this is Iran has to defend itself against foreign power known for indiscriminate destructions . Once once it is repealed . The Iranian population can fight against the regime
