The Shah was couped with the help of leftist who got backstabbed by the islamists. They weren't the only possible opposition, they were just the most politically savvy opposition.

Well fuck UK media then, lol.

Maybe I misunderstood you. I've been seeing too many people running defense for Iran these days, and by running defense I don't mean justifying Iranian retaliation (totally justified to strike back if you're attacked) but rather defending the Iranian government retroactively.

Both Myanmar and Ethiopia are in active states of civil war. By the very nature of civil war they are doing much worse to their citizens. Iran hasn't been in a civil war, yet it's still brutalizing its citizens. Even more than the Saudis.

Khomeini hijacked the revolution that ousted the Shah and turned it from a triumphant moment and chance for change into a "under new management" situation.

Khamenei now presides over this theocratic regime and continues to oppress Iran.

Mate, I don't rely on mainstream media to tell me what to think about Iran. I have in-laws there. My partner regularly talks to them.

Iran was always shite and during the protests, the media said as much. When they executed protestors, It got reported upon. There was never a time in which Iran was like anywhere close tolerable. Did UK media not pounce on the Shahed drones to Russia? Come on, mate.

It has been touched upon for years, then fell off the news wagon because of other events.

The attacks are unjustified, but this narrative of "the media had no problem with Iran" when again, in the past years, executions and state violence carried out by Iran have been reported, is false.

You are now a liberal if you don't think every Ukrainian is a fascist.

Israel put its signature "killing civilians" spin on it.
