Imagine the West claiming it wants to bring democracy to Iran when, in 1953, the same West overthrew Iran’s democratically elected leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, for nationalising oil, then backed the dictator Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, who crushed democracy through secret police, torture, and repression to protect Western oil interests.
If you are actually spreading “news” that Iran “murdered” 10,000 protestors by lining them up and using an AK-47, you’re a useful for idiot for empire and all the western media houses that manufacture consent for it.
People who care about Iranians must demand lifting of cruel Western sanctions designed to punish ordinary people, cause misery and provoke unrest. No country can “reform” and freely determine its future while it’s under attack from external enemies determined to subjugate it. There is no other role for “Westerners” vis a vis Iran except to pressure their regimes to halt their decades long assault and regime-change efforts against the country.

Statement by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ):
"The announcement by war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his government of the resumption of aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip is a continuation of massacres as part of a genocide taking place before the eyes of the entire world, after he deliberately thwarted all efforts to reach a ceasefire.
This new aggression will not grant the enemy an upper hand over the resistance—neither on the battlefield nor in negotiations. Netanyahu and his bloodthirsty Nazi government will not escape their crises through this war; instead, it will further weaken them, add to their failures, and they will emerge from it humiliated and defeated.
We affirm that what Netanyahu and his barbaric army have failed to achieve in fifteen months of crimes and bloodshed, they will fail to achieve again—thanks to the steadfastness of our oppressed people and the bravery of our fighters in the fields of jihad and resistance.
Indeed, it is jihad… of victory or martyrdom."
