As an Iranian, I want it clear: the Islamic Republic has destroyed Iran. For 46 years, they held our country hostage, suppressing us, dictating what we can wear, say, or believe, while chanting death to the West and chasing nuclear power. They’ve brutalized peaceful protesters, raped, imprisoned, and killed our people. Now, their so-called enemies have walked right in, understandably. A regime that has no mercy for us citizens can't be trusted with nuclear power. This is why we’re here: a paper lion with no real strength beyond the people it oppresses.

More to it, I've had personal experience with this brutal regime, they arrested my old cousin during the Mahsa Protests(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahsa_Amini_protests), she was taken to the Evin prison (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evin_Prison) and was tortured for 6 months. We had no news from her. When she was finally released, she was so skinny that you could see her rib bones. We managed to bring her to Canada and it took her over a year of medical care until she began to recover. She was only 20.

No one hates this regime more than Iranians.

With all that out of the way, Iranians have no choice now but the defend their homes against hostile forces. They will not simply sit back and watch Israel and United States bomb their land to oblivion and then demand unconditional surrender.

This attack will inflict more pain on Iranians and only serves to grow the regime stronger.

We wanted a regime change, but not at the hands of Israel and US.



Thank you. Its refreshing to here perspective from an Iranian.

Honest question, do Iranians want foreign help for regime change? If so, what would be the nature of this help?


"We wanted a regime change, but not at the hands of Israel and US."

You've had decades to change the regime and you didn't do it. If not now, when?


What a crazy take, I'm sure they love Kim Jong Un in North Korea too. In their shoes you'd manage to bring about regime change of course?
