    You just show us how stupid you really are. The whole damn country of Iran is practically on the streets rising up against the Ayatollah and this is the best that you can come up with? You moron woke idiots are brain dead.

    "Practically all of Iran" while there were a total of 11k rioters across 29 protests in a country with 90 million. For reference, the No Kings protest in Hartford, CN had 12,000 attendees. You truly don't have a crumb of an idea what's going on over there. Keep in mind, with each Iranian is a Mossad agent accompanying them according to Mike Pompeo so we can half that number.

    Also, if you oppose Iran on the premise of state-sanctioned violence against their citizens, why do you support such thing here in America?

    Things seem to be heating up. Iran is effectively under martial law.

    It turns out that a large-scale digital influence campaign in Persian was underway, operated out of Israel and funded by a private entity that receives government support.

    The campaign promotes Pahlavi's public image and amplifies calls for restoring the monarchy. The campaign relies on "avatars," fake online personas posing as Iranian citizens on social media. They were first discovered by social media researchers in Israel and abroad.

    According to the sources who spoke with TheMarker and Haaretz, since the outbreak of the war in Gaza and after Pahlavi's visit, an online operation began operating as part of an even broader Israeli campaign to influence the social media discourse, which also includes campaigns in English and German.

    According to five sources with direct knowledge of the project, native Persian speakers were recruited for the operation. Three of the sources confirmed the connection between the project and this specific campaign, and said they witnessed the network advancing pro-Pahlavi messaging.

    Just because the Israelis are running a bot campaign does not mean that the Iranians do not have legitimate grievances with their government.

    Where did I say that? Anyways, the economic concerns are absolutely real and organizing to protest against their government is a cause I support but the Mossad hijacked the movement and is creating chaos while using the American media apparatus to push the narrative that a revolution is taking place. Their incentive for doing so is to manufacture consent to be able to invade and destroy Iran with Western support.

    I think Bibi told Trump that his Mossad agents could create a Casus Belli for Trump by fomenting unrest.
