Oh, good. The US and Israel are deliberately targeting civilians during a holy period. This won't come back to bite the US at all.
It's like they have zero idea what caused 9/11 in the first place.
And we're still claiming to be doing this because the Iranian people were stuck living under a murderous and repressive regime? Or has he just dropped the act?
tonight radio-canada (the french-speaking counterpart to the CBC) was interviewing a lot of people from Iran, and one of the questions the interviewer asked was "so, with Khamenei dead, do you think people will go to the streets to protest their government and bring about regime change?" to which the interviewee just answered "no people are hiding and fleeing, Tehran is being bombed!"
so idk about the usa but canadian state media certainly seems to want to spin it as an act of liberation 🤮
Right now everyone in the resistance is saying to stay inside while the bombing campaign is happening. They will wait for the signal to start the uprising. Because obviously taking to the streets when there's a bombing campaign happening is a really dumb thing to do.
Consider that this site might not be giving you all of the information about what's happening in Iran.
No way to know how many will take to the streets when they're told "it's time". Last time it was millions. The regime machine gunned down tens of thousands, bodies piled up in the streets, really horrific. This time I'd guess the resistance is going to have weapons air dropped to them and some drone support and intel. Should even things up.
There are very few people in Iran that don't know someone that was executed by the regime and the IRGC is being decimated. If the members of the IRGC were smart, they'd get out while they can, though I don't know who would take them. I suppose Russia is always looking for some more criminals to send to the front lines.
Best of luck to the resistance when the time comes.
There are Iranian grifters with relatively large followings (they do artificially inlfate their numbers though) among the diaspora still making this claim. When they talk I just hear: "Bomb my family harder , Daddy!"
He was afraid the guard would kill steal him
"but khomeini killed 2 million students in 2 weeks!!!!"
Trump saw that and thought 'challenge accepted '
Known "tactic" previously employed by the Israelis in Palestine, as well as by Assad in Syria, and by many other mindless butchers. They're not interested in mission objectives or the safety of the world, they just want to watch their enemies burn. And some keyboard warriors in Europe and the US cheer this evil on. What has the world come to?
yeah the russians really love this shit on ukraine first responders.
it's the calling card of a coward leading a coward society.
Well, Pete did say the US was no longer going to be following those pesky "rules of engagement" anymore. I guess this is what he meant.
You mean Pete "the famously anti-Muslim Christo fascist who sees himself as a modern day crusader and proud infidel " hegseth? He's gotta get a better nickname
Nope, Americans have been doing double tapping for a while. Unironically thanks Obama.
And Israel too.
I'm an idiot that doesn't understand facial expressions. What is this meant to convey? Or is it meant to be a commentary on many Americans being too large and sick to worry about what the government is doing to people?
As well as being too large and sick to do anything about what the government is doing, the photo is supposed to convey that they also look sad (teary eyes) and hopeless (distant gaze despite being close to camera and faint smile that isn't really a smile).
Aren't these the people the shag wanted to fight for him against the IRGC?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
