While this video is very touching and speaks many truths, does anyone feel the omission of terror that the Iranian regime has put on its people? The Iranians I have spoken to in the US have said they are happy about the killing of Iranian leaders, though this was in the beginning of the war and they may feel different now. Don't get me wrong tho, I can't wait to piss on Trump's and bibi's grave

Domestic issues will always take back seat when your country's survival is at stake. Rally around the flag always happens when defending against aggressor. Many Iranians might despise the oppression carried out by IRGC, but they recognize that if IRGC falls, so does Iran as a sovereign state.

I completely agree. I found it asinine when they were telling Iranians to rise up against their government right after bombing the school.

When did those Iranians leave Iran?

[-] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I had the same experience with Iranians who left months or years ago.

I'm not sure, they were people I met in passing, cashiers. They were older men.

It's propaganda. They can be pretty much entirely on-point with their criticisms of the US, but they aren't gonna highlight any of their own faults.
