    You haven’t seen people singing from their balconies during the night time: “death to khamenei!”, have you?

    That’s the view from Iran. Do you accept the reality though… 💁

      You’re downvoted but you’re correct. Iranians hate their government (rightfully so, it’s a repressive religious extremist police state) and will hopefully use the chance of a weakened Khamenei to finally overthrow the mullahs.

        I just hope Israel’s policy of not caring about collateral damage doesn’t backfire here. They may hate their leaders, but seeing family and friends killed will solidify them against Israel.

          One wonders if that’s the intention, like with Gaza and Hamas, people are driven to extremism by extreme circumstances and Israel at every step stopped anything but hamas from power to help themselves.

        Israel killing civilians will not make iranians turn against the regime Even gaza with a lot more desperate people the protests against hamas are very low

            No matter how much they hate the oppressive regime , a state that is known for genocide and killing civilians and be proud about it bombing them will not make them change the regime.

      Yes. Iranians hate their government and want regime change, it’s dubious wether this will help. Most likely it will be used by the regime for more crackdowns and cheap propaganda.

      It is dubious wether bombing from afar can even achieve the stated goal (stopping the nuclear program). Hoping it will somehow magically bring about regime change is a stretch.

        The bombing campaign will do absolutely nothing to topple the regime. Israel has now hit orphanages and residential areas.

          In Iran? I haven’t seen any other claims of this, but if true that is like actual stereotypical comicbook supervillain behavior.
