Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Reformist libs inside iran have basically paralysed the country and made it unable to fight back even when attacked by the us. They are also the ones that see the axis of resistance as a nuisance and would gladly sell out palestinians, lebanese and yemeni resistance fighters.

It’s just the perpetual struggle between the government and the IRGC, two bodies of a country that want to go down separate routes.

I believe the IRGC controls the oil economy though which makes them a very powerful force but the reformist government is wrestling for control as well. Maybe someone who knows better about Iranian politics can elaborate better or correct my statement.

The government are fucking idiots then.

But also I don't have faith in the IRGC either given how many of their officers got capped right out in the open by pissrael.

Something is going very wrong.

hopefully* putting up a front while they race to slap together a nuke worth the name

*copium

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 days ago

No, more likely is that they leak/sabotage the nuke to appease the west and do more "diplomacy"

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I seriously think these people are just fucking idiots.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

it is a worrying possibility

Tbf removing pissraels nukes will be better for iran (and for everyone else) than iran having nukes. It is not gonna happen but still. At least this shows they are open for alternatives

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 22 points 6 days ago

That's literally never ever happening though and no amount of calling for it will ever save them from being destroyed. They'll be morally in the right as they slowly get encircled and eliminated.

This spiel was done for decades and america still bombed their cities and israhell still kills iranian scientists. Its like running to embrace a violent axe murder.
