A volunteer member of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was killed in a western province during widening demonstrations sparked by the Islamic Republic’s ailing economy, authorities said Thursday, marking the first fatality among security forces during the protests.
Spontaneous protests, driven by dissatisfaction at Iran’s economic stagnation, began on Sunday in Tehran’s largest mobile phone market, where shopkeepers shuttered their businesses, and have since drawn in students across the country.
Fun fact. Iran was a decent democracy back in the time, then US staged a coup and the rest is history.
Britain played a major role in that coup too, they were trying to get back at Mossadegh for nationalizing Anglo-iranian oil, now known as British Petroleum.
CIA 🤝 MI6 Fucking things up since the invention of the cold war.
One of the worst fascist regimes on the planet falling would be a promising start for 2026. One can hope.
As long as it doesn’t fall to a civil war or just because another american and israeli puppet state
US is falling?
obvious whataboutism is obvious
Fascist America is much more capable of doing harm right now. We’re all hoping for a collapse.
How is America relevant to OP?
America staged a coup in Iran and backed religious hardliners to replace a democratically elected leader and turned the country into the shit hole it became, of course I wouldn’t expect an American to know this or give a shit, just wave the flag and scream USA
You’re mixing up the 1953 and 1979 coups.
What aboutism? Is it in the room with you now?
So what you’re really trying to say is that you don’t care about due process for illegal immigrants, isn’t that right Mistah Petahson?
Sure Jan.
Buddy are you lost, Facebook is that way, get back to your slop feed asap
It says Iran in the title.
One of the worst fascist regimes on the planet
It says “One of the worst fascist regimes on the planet” in the comment
One of the worst, not the worst.
Good catch, thought technically the worst is also one of the worst :-)
But there can be multiple that we refer to as “one of the worst” so in a thread about Iran there’s no need to bring up the US which already gets plenty of attention
The original comment was kind of a joke on phrasing, but I see that here we are dead serious. So I humbly apologize to all deeply offended and I also take back comment that worst is technically one of the worst as according to downvotes it isn’t. 🤷♂️
Spontaneous protests
Western sanctions causing economic hardship against those trying to escape their colonialism, and then using their created economic hardship to stage color revolutions. The playbook is at it again.
