re: Iran and the narrative

Im curious, does this board really 100% believe the narrative we are told about Iran?

---

100%, no. However, when Iran, since 1979 has been shouting about the death of Israel and wanting to wipe them off the map. When they're proxies are launching missles into israel and murdering israel's citizens, it makes one start to believe Iran that what they actually said may be what they intend to do. I mean, if a murderer said, "i'm going to murder your family", would you take them seriously?

So im just supposed to blindly believe what more than likely is Israel's one sided narrative about Iran?

---

Here's the thing. Israel is NOT the aggressor, historically. They have never proclaimed "death to Iran". They have never preached about the extermination of the Muslim people. They are surrounded by enemies. And, Iran, USED TO BE a normal peaceful country. Then the revolution of 79 happened and it devolved into a muslim extremist breeding ground.

2) It's pretty widely accpeted that Iran has been developing nukes. Trump was negotiating last week with Iran to get them to stop their uranium enrichment program. They told Trump they will not stop, and they will accelerate. What is Israel supposed to do? Let themselves be annihilated?

Yet, Iran has a practicing Jewish population...why dont they round them up and kill them?

---

Yes, there are less than 10,000 Jews living in a country of over 90 million. I suppose that means the regime is friend, not foe

Feel free to research how that number changed over the course of the 20th century.


Now do the number of Muslims and Christians living in Israel versus the total population

Is that public boast of Israel a lie? Or stated goal?

Netanyahu’s speech last night about the conflict being with a regressive dictatorship

Irony right there. That guy is a liar.

Bibi is a war criminal and Israel indiscriminately destroys its neighbors.

The leaders of the Islamic Republic are oppressive and insane.

Here's a deep historical fact: Today's Persians (Iran) and Babylonians (Israel) have always been COUSINS.

Dude you are out of your element obviously and don't know a single thing of what you're talking about. You're just trying to score some cheap points on a board with no facts. Please, don't reply to anymore of my comments. Thanks.

Youve already proven you are a simpleton that is led around like a sheep by every media narrative. You arent worth a response

I remember this ‘imminent Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities ‘ talk since Obama‘s first and then second terms.

I understand not trusting the media and our government, but do we also ignore the actual words coming from Iranian leaders?

Iran Issues Its Own Warnings
Iran continues to say its nuclear activities are focused on peaceful purposes such as energy production. However, Defense Minister General Aziz Nasirzadeh issued a pointed threat, warning that Iranian forces would target U.S. bases across the region if hostilities begin. "If a conflict is imposed on us... all U.S. bases are within our reach," he said.

Iran Defense Minister General Aziz Nasirzadeh: "All U.S. bases are within our reach and we will boldly target them in host countries."

At some point, if a country says they are going to attack you, you may want to believe them?

quote:

---

Last week, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed the U.S. proposal as against Iran’s interests, pledging to continue enrichment on Iranian soil, which Western powers view as a potential pathway to building nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.

The president said another planned wave of attacks against Iran will be "even more brutal" and called on the Iranians to make a deal and "save what was once known as the Iranian Empire".
"JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE," Trump wrote.

Trump posted again on Truth Social and stressed that two months ago he gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to make a deal. "Today is day 61. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!" he wrote.

Rather than engage with your questions, they invent things about you that they can attack. PoliBoard mixture of straw man and ad homien. Gets tedious after a while.

---

Exactly.

Some posters are so programmed to buy 100% into ongoing narratives without consideration that questioning what's claimed critically isn't even an after-thought.

(and yes, then the ad hominems become a poor substitute for debate.)

and Israel indiscriminately destroys its neighbors

Did you really mean "indiscriminately" and "destroy" or are you emotionally up in arms and being a drama queen?

quote:

---

There has been a serious fear by the ruling class of civil war within Iran due to the gross difference in beliefs between the vast majority of the people and the ruling class. It’s why they control the masses with horrific punishments.

Make no mistake about it. Those in power in Iran wish nothing more than to erase Israel(and then America) from the map and true genocide of both Israelis and us.

---

This. If Iran was as open and peaceful and free as other posters are claiming, they wouldn't rig elections and imprison or kill protestors. Iran is not traditionally extremist. 1979 is not that long ago, so a large portion of their population lived in relative freedom. Strict adherence to muslim law is relatively new in that country and isn't really accepted by the populace. However, when a dictator takes over, expect totalitarianism.

If, the iranian elections were legitimate, Iran wouldn't be bombed. Iran wouldn't be trying to acquire nukes. Iran wouldn't be at war with Israel. The ME would be relatively peaceful. However, the Ayatollah and his extremists are the true power brokers in that country. Their new president was hand picked by khomeini.
