Claims about Iran having nukes ready soon have gone on for decades. Khameneyi 1 was very against them. As for who wants Iran to have nukes, I do, and I hate the government with all my heart. I want them to have nukes because I don’t see the regime going away, at least while Israel and USA exist, and nation-states, especially those two, only language they know is extreme violence. Of course, if we lived in a historical vacuum divorced from patriarchy I’d want no one to have mikitary grade weapons at all, let alone nukes. My conspiracy theory is that Iran doesn’t and won’t need nukes. They can just go along with the lies that they already have them. There’s probably a reason they don’t though.

Americans falling for the same old scam of a fake democracy over and over and over again. 2 heads, 1 monster.

So the entire point of reddit, the anonymity, is to be thrown out the fucking window lmao

What a coincidence! I bet Iranian soldiers were told this war signals the coming of Imam Mehdi with Jesus right behind him.

(I wish I was making this up. Twelver shias have a similar myth that’s taken very seriously.)

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!”

😂 I was* a slave when I lived in Iran. I don’t know a single Iranian that isn’t happy about his death.

Yes

Not completely useless. Iranians can use it to bypass the ridiculous number of sanctions western governments arbitrarily threw at them as those neoliberals pat themselves on the back for making the situaton worse. The dollar loses its centralization and I consider that a good thing.

Congratulations on killing Afghans for no reason.

Nothing about the Afghans they killed. Fuck them.

Canadian “leaders” are trying to fuck over our healthcare system too with privatization.

What if you read books on your phone? Gojo from JJK, Hollow Purple situation?

True. I wasn’t thinking of America.

Anything except going to therapy

Iranian monarchists like to pretend the Islamic Republic is leftist, then they repeat the same manipulative authoritarian behaviors in the same breath.
