I would be thrilled if the people of Iran overthrow their government. The U.S. should stay out of it & should NOT impose a member of the Pahlavi family on Iranians. The Shah was hated by everyone in Iran; that’s why they ended up with the Ayatollah. They need a democracy.

As long as it is Iranians that take it down. Any involvement by the U.S. Will provide the Iranian regime with the excuse that the "Great Satan" is trying to do to us what Trump is doing to Venezuela and trying to do to Greenland.

Agreed, however… I think our president should be more concerned about not using the military against us instead of starting another forever war

Sure it is. I’ve lost trust in all of you. Well you ran, but both parties. What was the purpose of the Jan 6th committee that came of nothing? Gathering evidence to eventually convict someone when majority will be dead by age by the time this evidence comes up again.

Do you think Putin will just sit still if DonOld the First decides to drop some bombs on Iran? And meanwhile, how do we go about effecting regime change in the US?

Adam. Help the Iranian people. Yes.But you’ve got more than enough to worry about in America dude. And a very good friend of Putin in the WH.

Do you really think that any new regime in Iran is going to be any different? And let's be clear about Israel's intent. Israel doesn't give a shit about Iranian protesters.

Just to be clear, protesters in our own country are being killed, so what if someone decided that is a reason to bomb and regime change us? What gives us the right?

Oh, I think we all agree that they aren't good people, but do we really need to invade another country and start another war under the guise of protecting protestors while protesters here get shot in the face? I feel for the Iranians and what is being done to them is awful but that one isn't really

I totally disagree in this analysis. We don't care who will not benefit. This is another round of BS by the US to benefit. The problem is that the orange felon will turn Iran into Afganistan. Remember the 5000 Taliban he freed and sent Afghanistan into dark ages? Iranians have suffered enough.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin and Netanyahu are both in on it. Goading the US to continue going rogue. Further alienating Europe from the US.

I absolutely agree. But I don’t think it’s right for an outside force to delegitimize what is clearly an organic uprising within Iran. And that’s what this administration is doing by interjecting itself into this Iranian uprising.

I'm not entirely convinced it's as simple as that. The same might be said about eliminating Putin—that it would be good for humanity. But not if the man who takes his place is someone like Medvedev.

Just saw that Dump threatened to assassinate Iran officials. That, coupled with the gutting of our FBI, has me convinced Dump wants terror on our soil so he can stay in office until he croaks on his last Big Mac.

Unless Russia or China swoops in to provide financial and logistical support. Proximity matters.

just to be actual clear..America does not give two fucks about the Iranian people.they want there business,infrastructure,oil minerals ect ect...France did it with Africa,bleed them dry,give the money to dictators,watched as millions died and did nothing. America wants to take away the right of

Muslims to be Muslims...That includes Democrats,just look at how Democrats in the house and senate reacted to The New York Mayoral race...America is not making enough money to reduce its debt,so needs new players to buy from them...If America for 2 years cut its military budget by 25% America's

True, but important to remember where all this came from as we await what’s next.

As someone who studied this history, I just want to caution folks that worry when they see the old Iranian flag and immediately think these are people who want the restoration of the Shah’s autocracy, that flag was usurped from Iran’s Constitutional Monarchy—one that the US helped topple in 1953.

Why do you assume that the moment that Pete Hegseth leads the big bad United States in an attack on Iran that Iran's going down like Iraq? Do you think maybe that an extremist theocracy with nukes and a history of backing suicide bombers might not be the cakewalk that Saddam Hussein was? Twice?

It's one thing if they fall by their citizenry - another if they're toppled by US/Trump interference which is neither good for humanity nor bad for Russia. Lafayette did not just show up during our revolution, he was assiduosly courted by diplomat Ben Franklin. And France never attacked Britain.

Everyone agrees with you but we don't need to involve ourselves. Last time we overthrew their elected government in the fifties and installed a puppet that was overthrown in the eighties. We don't need to interfere again.

And there go oil prices for f the Middle East destabilizes….hmmmm anyone else see the common thread as big as an anchor chain?

They're all lying to you. Who's they? Everyone in MSM, Gov, and your feed. Some think they're anti-fascists but can't be if you don't understand corruption. We've given tens of trillions illegally to billionaires that have since paid for fascism to destroy the law. #TCND youtu.be/MkAfv1FLGvI?...

They just want Iran to disintegrate and sieze to exist so they continue doing exactly that to Palestine and more. That is why they are propping Shah’s son as opposition because people of Iran will never accept him - they want civil war in Iran. It is never about human rights or democracy.

Then there could be more arrests and deaths than in IRAN... I don't think anyone would suggest that CHINA should bomb the U.S. to support the protesters there! #STOPstarvingIRAN

It would be nice if our government would protect US citizens as forcefully as they are saying they will support the Iranian protesters.

Agreed. Maybe enough to make Putin more compliant to trump's vision of US-Russo cooperation, and with the possible associated negative benefits to Europe and Ukraine? Trump never really changes his mind, he just waits for the next opportunity to retry

Understood. Why though does Trump offer protesters against the government in Iran the promise of protection, while if you protest against the government in the United States you're branded as a domestic terrorist and risk getting shot in the face?

There is no assurance of who would replace the current Regime. A vacuum in the ME is not a good thing. It might be filled by some other regime that still is an ally to Russia. We already learned this in Iraq, and you of all people should know that.

I wish the USA would quit meddling in the region altogether. Israel can protect itself and has been able to for quite awhile, they don't need our money. Oil is in decline. Many of the regimes are evil. Fuck it.

Exactly! Isn’t 47 causing economic hardships in America? Isn’t he attempting autocratic tendencies in the U.S.? When ICE is beating Americans, r are we ignoring that? Isn’t it rather hypocritical for him to claim Iranians have the right to protest, but Americans don’t?

#ncpol Sounds like right wing radio talk show hosts in North Carolina are preparing for the eventuality of Trump being removed from office by invocation of the 25th Amendment sooner rather than later. #TrumpIsNotWell #FrontoTemporalDementia ##25thAmendment.

Just to be clear, both Iran and Russia are nuclear nations. Since they are allies, an attack on Iran could mean retaliation from Russia. The despot and his critters profoundly lack diplomacy. That does not bode well for national security. We're imploding & Russia to could swoop in with technology.

Meanwhile Dumb Donnie is going to tariff anyone doing business with Iran. Does this mean all those tariffs he dropped on his handler will come back on Vlad? A follow up is in order. Is Russia trading with the USA again, Vlad’s oil tankers will soon be in Texas. Just saying.

Got it, but does that give us the right to bomb without Congressional consent? The issue is his reasoning: defending their right to protest while punishing protestors here.

Yes understood, but does American boots and taxpayer dollars need to be wasted on Iran? IMO Iran needs to fight for their democracy. It's time that we paid attention to our own. While we can still save it.

Agreed, I just don't trust that if the US is heavily involved that much like kidnapping Maduro, nothing will really change in Iran. Trump doesn't want to piss off his boss Putin.

This right here ☝️ Nothing good comes from America's involvement over foreign government changes. AND we lose our money over it. Let them fight for their own Democracy. Let's focus on our own problems for a change.

So Trump's threats to the Iran regime about cracking down on protesters are more smoke and mirrors for the cult - because Donold won't do anything to go against Putin. Yes?

At this juncture, is the USA any better for humanity? They are threatening the entire stability of the world with military action. They are just as bad as Russia at this point with invading other nations. They are a BIGGER threat to Europe and the NATO countries than Russia!

Agree, but it will backfire if Dump gets involved. He doesn't give 2 cents about the Iranian people. He'd probably hand Iran over to Putin. The Iranian regime needs to fall by the hands of the people, not Dump.

You actually think Trump and Israel want to bring Democracy to Iran? Did Trump bring it to Venezuela? Or did he just steal the oil? If he divides it from russia good. Who knows if he even does that. He cares about one thing - money. If they cared about nukes they wouldn't have cancelled Obama's deal

Don’t disagree. Problem is DJT has no “what if” planning. He’ll send strikes w/ no idea or concern what could happen next & what US response would be. No plan A, B, C type planning. Too strategic and requires too much thinking for him. Just knee-jerk & let the cards fall is not what the US needs.

Point taken. I hate to be the person using but, but who wants the last shah’s kid to run the country? Sounds like a CIA/mossad venture for oil and nukes while installing a guy that grew up with a brutal dictator as a dad. Perfect reenactment of the 1953 coup. But the religious gov goes bye bye now.
