Iranian regime muzzles media with grim death penalty warning
-
I don't want to be mean but did you live under a rock in 2022-2023?
I said a few months ago. I'm pretty sure 24+ months doesn't fall under the categorisation of "a few". Iran has been barely touched upon for years, and now the headlines are rolling about how horrible they are now there is a war to justify.

It has been touched upon for years, then fell off the news wagon because of other events.
The attacks are unjustified, but this narrative of "the media had no problem with Iran" when again, in the past years, executions and state violence carried out by Iran have been reported, is false.

Does anyone else see a suspicious disconnect here? The actual legislation cited is a prohibition about "any intelligence cooperation with the Mossad". And what's more, this complaint is coming from Euronews, a news agency which is likely hostile to the regime. Whatever you think about the regime, I am pretty sure that cooperation with the enemy in wartime is maximally punishable in any country.
So my takeaway when I read this piece was that it sounded like a fox complaining that teeth and claws are forbidden in the chicken coop.
Funny how you equate the Iranian regime with chickens. You know, yhay same regime that murders people slowly by slowly Hanging them from a crane, just and only just because they loved the wrong person. I believe the handmaid's tale has a good example scene of this.
Yes, Israel is committing a genocide, USA is evil, but do you really want to apologize for yet another evil, then?
-
Yeah, this is why I'm not on Iran's side.
I still want them to hurt Israel as much as possible. My heart goes out to the innocent people of Iran.
What about iranians who don't want to get murdered by israel

I'm not in the UK, but I recall Iran being in the media a lot in China and the US. Back when Trump assassinated one of their generals during his first term, the recurring abductions and rapes of women and young girls by the morality police that sparked nationwide protests, the arms they are providing for Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, and now Israel's unprovoked attack on Iranian infrastructure and citizens.
What do you expect iran to do want the whole west is imposing severe sanctions harming regular citizens. Iran as no choice but to work with russia. Iran could have been an neutral country if americans, israelis and britosh didn't support the shah coup
-
Yeah let's not forget who they are, the people in power in Iran. Worst scum on earth.
As bad as israeli and united snake leaders

I expect them to stop harming their own civilians, too.
We don't need to cheer on an oppressive, totalitarian regime just because they're at odds with another oppressive, totalitarian regime.

I am cheering iran right to self defence not the regime harming their own civilians.
Do you condemn israel starting the war and killing civilians ?

Yes I condemn Israel, this isn't an either/or type of situation. Both countries are shitty.

We saw how western and Israel intervention always has devastating effect to the population of those countries. The only rational way to think about this is Iran has to defend itself against foreign power known for indiscriminate destructions . Once once it is repealed . The Iranian population can fight against the regime

I didn't say no problem, I said tolerable. You really need to read the dictionary and understand words. You cannot just interpret things how you feel, rather than what the words mean.
Did you not see how quick policy and media narratives switch. Recently they tried to rehabilitate the Syrian leader, who's group was allied to American enemies, and all of a sudden, he wasn't that bad, let's drop sanctions.
You have to realise that, what is good and bad, and what the media tells you is good and bad are two different things. You have to critically challenge the narratives you're fed.

Mate, I don't rely on mainstream media to tell me what to think about Iran. I have in-laws there. My partner regularly talks to them.
Iran was always shite and during the protests, the media said as much. When they executed protestors, It got reported upon. There was never a time in which Iran was like anywhere close tolerable. Did UK media not pounce on the Shahed drones to Russia? Come on, mate.

Whataboutism is for blaming USA when the Russians have done something bad, not the iranians or Israelis

No, that's a work of fiction

it's a shame that when scum fights scum there are so many innocent civilians who will suffer. there are no good guys in this. A little bully with rich parents picked a fight with a big bully and everything that can come out of this will suck.
there are no good guys in this.
There were no "good guys" in World War 2 either, and yet you don't see people going around squealing "both sides were scum!" At anyone who supported the allied
-

Not the worst scum, that honour goes to the leadership of Israel and the Western leaders supporting their genocide.
And if you think Iran is the only country that executes people who send information to the enemy, you need to crack a history book
-
When was Iran tolerable? They're still as much of a fucked up theocracy with a terrible record on human rights as they've been since the revolution.
And they're less terrible than any country that is supporting Israel's Holocaust in Gaza.

Funny, I've been saying this for the last three years and liberals have been telling me that that makes me a tankie Putin simp.
-

Ukraine is also pretty shitty, but no one seems to have any problem understanding why people would cheer them on when they get attacked.
Funny how liberals can only extend that privilege to white countries
-
If it's a dictatorship I'd say yes because they are (also) the enemy.
I'm also against the death penalty in general, but especially for scaring your own citizens into obedience.
Yeah, apparently murder is supposed to be used for scaring foreign citizens into obedience, based on what liberals say
