Just because you weren’t aware of it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Masoud Pezeshkian won the 2024 Iranian presidential election on July 6 and was inaugurated July 28. Pezeshkian, who is still president, has criticized the Iranian government’s handling of protesters in the past, is an advocate for the rights of ethnic minorities in Iran (like the Kurds and Azeris), and has appointed two women as Vice Presidents, one as a minister in his cabinet, and a woman as his spokesperson.
The Ayatollah is the equivalent of the Queen of England + the Archbishop of Canterbury and has both political and religious power, but the president is elected by the people of Iran and runs the country along with various councils. According to the UN, the official leader of Iran is the president, not the Ayatollah.
Maybe try to diversify your media intake so you’re not only consuming narratives manufactured to support US imperialism and hegemony (I.e. billionaire-owned mainstream media). I recommend reading President Pezeshkian’s message to the American people he posted the other day. We would be lucky to have a president as intelligent and humane as him.
Love that your ultimate response to any argument is “I’m bored of you” because you can’t bother to try to inform yourself and are simply pretending to know all about world affairs by going off vibes 🙄
😂 Dude I literally just commented on two of your comments in the same thread. That makes me a stalker? And you have proven my point. You are choosing to believe and regurgitate CIA propaganda that has manufactured consent for these war crimes.
Iran is not an authoritarian theocracy that tramples on the rights of women. You know who is? Saudi Arabia, a US ally (and vassal state), where women can’t vote or drive cars. You don’t see us bombing and regime changing them. You know why? Because they do what the US says and we profit off of their oil. Iranian women can vote and Iran has a much higher percentage of women in higher education/who have graduated with PhDs than the US. Iran even has a hugely larger literacy rate among its population than the US.
The official death toll from the supposed tens of thousands of “peaceful protesters” killed by the Iranian government is reported as around 3,500. Israel even admitted that these were largely Kurdish separatists and other violent pro-West agitators in Iran that were being incited, armed, and organized by the CIA and the Mossad (who infiltrated and operated with the help of smuggled Starlink terminals–the only reason the riots ended was because Iran blacked out their internet to stop CIA/Mossad communications with their organizers outside Iran). These rioters were fucking burning down schools and mosques. Conveniently, these incited riots happened right before USreal started committing war crimes against Iran, and the whole of Western mainstream media ran with it, some saying 7,000 “peaceful protesters” killed, some saying 10,000, some saying 30,000, some even saying 80,000. These claims were in the service of manufacturing consent among the public of Western nations to tolerate and/or support these aggressions against the sovereign nation of Iran.
This is all besides the point, though. Regardless of what happens in other countries or whether or not their governments are oppressive or “democratic” or WHATEVER, IT IS WRONG FOR THE US OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY TO INTERFERE IN THE GOVERNMENT OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY TO DEPOSE THEIR LEADERS AND STEAL THEIR RESOURCES. PERIOD.
The thing with people like you is you’re informed solely by Western imperial war propaganda, which has whole agencies devoted to smearing those who pose a threat to US hegemony. The reality is this is a world made up of sovereign nations who have been largely threatened, sanctioned, and attacked by the US empire since its inception, especially those who are communist or who have been communist in the past.
If you’re not a MAGA psycho or a CIA agent, you’re unknowingly repeating the rantings and ravings of the right wing extremist Adrian Zenz, which Trump 1.0 and Pompeo (and NATO and the arms industry) used to declare China was genociding the Uyghurs, when the reality is a tiny Al-Qaeda-aligned separatist movement in Xinjiang called ETIM (East Turkmenistan Islamic Movement) was doing violent terrorist attacks in the province. The “reeducation camps” you’re talking about are career development schools introduced in the region to materially improve the lives of the people and reduce the chances of a violent separatist group from reforming to terrorize the pro-CCP majority of the province.
Everyone say hi to the CIA/Mossad agent 👆👆👆
Why are you repeating Trump’s war propaganda for free, helping him and Israel slaughter civilians, journalists, and healthcare workers, and destroy schools, hospitals, and homes? Calling Iran’s democratically-elected government a “bad regime” is not only uninformed and childish but it is harmful—it is helping to manufacture consent among the public of the Western world to support or tolerate the continuation of these evil war crimes being committed against Iran by USrael.
USrael is bombing schools, hospitals, residential buildings, water processing plants, orphanages, ambulances, and journalists in Iran, Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. Iran is targeting mega corporations, US bases, IsraHell, military commanders, and politicians AND they are making a ceasefire contingent on ending the genocide in Gaza. I think it’s safe to say Iran are the good guys here. If you believe they slaughtered 80,000 protesters in 48 hours, you’re drinking the CIA koolaid, friend.

If only neolib capitalist states cared about actually liberating people and not just invading, bombing, and regime changing sovereign nations for money and oil
0·3 days agoSorry but there are real actual Nazis in the Ukrainian government and military today. Ukraine is the biggest hub of Nazism in the world today apart from the US. Russians are not Nazis. Do you recall that little thing called WWII? Yeah Russia defeated the Nazis in that war. The large majority of Nazis were killed by the Soviets and the Nazis would’ve won the war if not for Russian communists stepping up and taking fascism seriously.

0·3 days agoIf she backs it up with actions maybe. But words are empty and it’s too little too late. Her actions up until now have supported the occupying Zionist entity and its genocide. It’s hard for me and a lot of anti-Zionists to take her seriously when it is very obviously politically expedient for her to say this at this moment (especially right after Ana Kasparov called her out on twitter for her support of Israel). She’s still an opportunist that is part of an imperialist, Zionist party that is complicit in the murder of countless civilians across the globe, and, worst of all, doesn’t seem to understand that. You say “perfect is the enemy of the good” but what good is this for Gaza now when it is decimated and hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered, many still buried under the rubble?
Call it what you want but it’s still the truth
“Is the Guardian using its platform to manufacture more consent for this evil, pointless war on Iran?”
By definition, a Zionist is anyone who supports the development and protection of a Jewish nation in Occupied Palestine at the expense of Palestinian lives, land, and sovereignty. Any degree of that is Zionism. You are not an anti-Zionist if you support the development and protection of a Jewish nation on stolen, Palestinian land. Anti-Zionism isn’t a big tent kind of club. AOC, Mamdani, Bernie, and anyone else who supports the continued colonization of Occupied Palestine are Zionists.
Problem is all of us on the left will not forget her past record and her choices time and time again to side with the status quo, Israel, and the imperialist, capitalist Democratic Party.
Yeah it must be SOOO difficult to sacrifice tens of thousands of innocent civilians so that she can stay in power and not make her colleagues uncomfortable. Give me a break. She’s an evil Zio neolib like the rest of the Democratic Party. Crocodile tears
Ok we’re talking about the elections not the candidate selection process. The only candidates we get to vote for in the US have to be approved by the shady dark money billionaire class and the lobby of an evil genocidal ethnostate. If it is indeed true that the Ayatollah has to approve candidates in Iran, I’d rather take my chances with one well-known dude with some degree of morals than with a bunch of faceless warmongering capitalist pigs. But I’m just an anti-imperialist idiot that wants peace in the Middle East so don’t listen to me.
