Would you trade their oppression for an even worse one. Are you fine with America and Israel making the decision like so many nations have done so before.

Iran has had no less than three coups in the 20th century and major powers such as the US have been heavily involved with several regime changes

Are you advocating that this has been good for Iran and it needs a nation to bomb, to invade, and replace their leadership. Do you think they have no right to self determination.

No one is making excuses for their shitty regime with large amounts executions being their most reprehensible actions. Not to mention massive social oppression like what is happening right now.

I don't think that anything positive is going to come from Trump and Netanyahu murdering more innocents. Are we really saying that the only way forward is to allow the US to fuck with their country another time now?
