In the past I didn’t really catch that the people were rebelling against the government and suddenly there is great violence against protestors.
I think I missed this completely. I am aware that the beginning was spiralling costs. Is this connected to international sanctions?
Sanctions crippled the Iranian economy. Ordinary people initially took to the streets to protest these conditions. Later, rioters backed by Israel, by Israeli admission, joined in, escalating the situation toward civil conflict and attacking mosques even when people including kids are inside and police officers. The Iranian autocratic regime then used these events as justification to suppress all protests indiscriminately.
Violence occurred on both sides, and it difficult to find fully trustworthy sources on the situation
Yes, Bessent was just bragging about this in Davos. These aren’t international sanctions, they’re not approved by the UN. These are unilateral sanctions by the Burger Reich and their vassals used as a form of siege warfare against Iran.
The UN doesn’t have any particular claim to the word “international”, except insofar as anything they do is international because the UN itself is international.
Other organisations, or even loosely affiliated groups of nations, can do international things because the word just means something like “between nations”.
That’s pure nonsense. There is only one version of international law and the UN is the only globally recognized organization to enforce it. These other organization are just unilateral tools of specific countries representing their interests. And sanctions such as the ones the west does against their adversaries are unilateral actions by these states.
Because Iran is the biggest threat to israel and the US interests in the middle east, so the claims are that the mossad are instigating, escalating, and inciting violence in the streets to topple the current regime in order to put a zionist puppet in the government, just like they have in all the arab countries, the latest example is the newly appointed Syrian president who was a wanted extremist terrorist by the same government that appointed him. Can you guess which government? This is just a brief explanation, you can do your further research.
Iran is a threat to the settler colonial power Israel but not to the USA
US interests (mainly oil) and all it’s military bases in the area.
American elite interests only not the population and the military bases make the USA a threat to Iran not the opposite
Exactly, the people, all people, are victims of their governments and get microscopic crumbs from what they devour. And not just a threat to iran but the whole region.
US pulling color revolution shit again. There are legitimate grievances of the public but they are being steered by the west to topple the government for the purposes of western interests. Same shit with kidnapping Maduro. Look what just happened there, now the government is signing deals to privatize their oil.
It’s connected to many different things, but mainly it’s drought. They really don’t have water, very close to a country-ending disaster. All other stuff are putting pressure on their ability to gain water from outside sources. And without water, a lot of industries can’t function, hence a spiralling free fall towards collapse.
Water is the new oil. Time to stock up!
You should probably ask the people from Iran.
That is… if they can reply. Looking forward to my own local communication disruption myself given how prone people are to copy others. Me too thanks. Back to stealing our memes.
