Iran's government has done plenty to deserve those sanctions. War is wrong no matter which side does it, and Iran is very guilty.
I wish you and your family never have to go through the "deserved sanctions" of the USA and EU, which together murder half a million people yearly since 1975 per latest medical research
saddly nobody has found a better option. Iran has had particularly evil leaders for decades. (Why is interesting history itself - but not relavant to today)
I guess all Yanks should be starved for choosing the wrong president? Or is that something you reserve to nonwhites?
Or you can make war and kill innocents. Or you can turn your back and watch them kill innocents.
there are other variations, but I have yet to see an option that isn't awful.
Respond! Why are you defending genocidal maniacs and their genocidal methods?
I don't have a choice. Either you defend Iran for funding everyone who wants to kill the Jews, or you defend the US and Israel for attacking Iran. There is no middle ground, either way you are defending genocidal maniacs. I hate both options.
Israel are the ones bombing mosques in Iran, not backwards. Iran is not engaging in genocide and calling everything a genocide is a form of genocide denialism.
You didn't respond: would you enact starvation on Yanks to push for regime change?
The people enacting these sanctions, i.e. US government, are as of today explicitly talking about eliminating a civilization, the literal definition of genocide.
Why are you defending genocide?
