You are a misguided if not alarmingly dishonest fanboi, some sort of anarcho-libertarian who nevertheless posts feverishly and repeatedly in fawning support of Iran, one of the most repressive and disgusting totalitarian regimes in the world. The very freedom you have to post here is just one of the privileges and freedoms afforded you by the country that shelters and supports your very existence. You are a wet behind the ears ideologue. You are overdue to grow up and into a better hobby.
Freedom.?..Need to grow up.?..

Still spreading...
Verified footage from the last 10 days shows evidence of anti-government demonstrations and gatherings in more than 50 towns and cities across the country, including in several regions previously perceived as being highly loyal to the state.

And it seems to be more potent than the upheaval in 2022. Perhaps because its based on economic hardship. It affects all.

In Iran, protesters have taken control of an entire city — Abdanan: local police have laid down their weapons and sided with the people Protesters are destroying streets and burning cars. Fierce clashes are ongoing between protesters and police in other cities.

Trump once again says we will hit Iran if protesters are killed. Many have already been killed, but tonight could be a slaughter as Iran’s forces open fire.

Usually the Basij is called out for this kind of repression but it looks like the regime is needing to depend on IRGC regulars mostly. Maybe not a great sign for them.

Trump might want to return his focus to protesters being killed in his own country.

Internet in Iran seems to be down (due to regime) but reports still filtering out of widespread protester-IRGC clashes.

Jeebus really looks end of days for the Ayatollah rule of Iran. Wouldn't be suprised if a lot of Iranian Officals' families end up packing their bags and flee to UAE, Russia or even Europe.

I'd believe the current Regime would last much longer... maybe within a decade time I really could be visiting Iran in person (dad's side is Iranian)? Crazy times man.

I mean, fuck the Shah - he was a ruthless western supported tyrant installed after overthrowing a democratically elected leader because he wanted to stand up to colonialist powers like the UK. Fuck him and his family unless they renounced the Shah himself.
People were chanting in the streets to bring back the Shah. For all his failings at being a tyrant/dictator the economy was ok and thats the pressing point right now.

It seems that the ordinary people just don't care for the ideological war of Khamenei and his supporters. Certainly not at the cost of their livelihood. Its the economy stupid!
