“There’s thinking in and around the administration that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” one of the sources told Politico under the condition of anonymity.

There are literally dozens of Iranians asking for it on European streets. Demonstrations every week, often very explicitly asking for that.

There were literally thousands of Americans who stormed the capitol on January 6, 2021. Do you think their will to overturn the election should have been carried out?

Not necessarily. It could also be the MEK.

known terrorists, even the US had them on their list

When a regime kills 30.000 protestors in a few days don't be surprised that their exiled family members ask the regime to be bombed. I fully understand them.

lies, you're probably a hasbara tool

The pro-democracy movement has made it very clear that they want no US involvement. It'll get civilians killed and will make it harder to dislodge the mullahtocracy.

Where did that number come from? That’s a propaganda narrative and a made up number. The United States and Israel are rogue fascist regimes ignoring international law at this point. Our media has been actively and publicly consolidated into pro Israel hands like Larry Ellison’s recent acquisition of tic toc and abc. I don’t believe it and I don’t believe we are doing this for liberation. We have imposed harsh sanctions on Iran for decades. With everything that is happening inside of our own country it is very hard to believe that human rights is the agenda for this administration. Mossad and the cia were in the protests killing people or funding and arming opposition because that is our playbook for regime change. Bombing or an Invasion of Iran would not be for the benefit of the Iranian people. Over a million people died in Iraq and the fabricated document stating that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction given to Colin Powell to present to the UN was from Israel. There’s countless footage of Bibi stating that Iran is manufacturing nukes and is a threat since the 80’s trying to instigate American military intervention. This is being done for the greater Israel project only. The greater Israel project is a settler colonialist expansion project that replaces the indigenous population with settlers through land grabs and genocide. Israel is by far the most dangerous and violent country on earth at this point they are constantly bombing their neighbors and annexing territory. Israel killed at least 70k (but probably way more) in Gaza to steal their land and they still aren’t letting journalists or humanitarian aid into Gaza to get an accurate assessment of the reality. We do know that the UN has determined that it was a genocide and over 100 countries have issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu. We need to stand down and completely divest from Israel and allow the un to do a full investigation of Gaza. The United States has threatened the EU, Canada, Mexico and several others at this point in pedogate and were starving Cuba to install disastrous American capitalism that is failing here in our own country so the pedo class can have more.

I'm going to a demonstration here in Brussels next Sunday, organized by Iranian exiles, I'll show them your input.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Please talk to multiple people and see what they think about the regime change document and how the sanctions have affected their people. Thanks I’m actually interested in the response. One of my professors is Iranian I’m interested in his opinion too

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

I'll spit on them if I see them
