It was Tagesschau, talking to a "political expert". Take a look at how often they call Iran a spooky theocracy word in just a few paragraphs. "The regime is a radical theocracy" and Trump's plans are failing because he does not understand how little they care about their people (lol), this stuff is just evil and a clear way of manufacturing consent for US violence, even if they can't outright support the US fully

"Sie sind bereit, in Kauf zu nehmen, dass die iranische Bevölkerung leidet. Hauptsache, ihre Machtkonstruktion wird erhalten." (They are prepared to accept the suffering of the Iranian population. The main thing is to maintain their power structure.)

• a quote about Iran and not the US, somehow
