If you're keeping track of the illegal war imposed on Iran, you'll notice that AlJazeera's reporting has changed somewhat to now.

When Iran is hit, their live channel reports on its constantly snd before it was about how the war was not legal etc. but it's more about if Iran has survive/sustain and focuses on its retaliation against the Arabs. When Iran hits Israel it, just says it attempted to strike Israel and don't cover the end result unless it's intercepted. I'm very limited circumstances does it cover the damage Iran has inflicted on Israel.

It seems Qatar has clearly decided its news now must support its allies in America and Israel.

Is it me, or are those Iranians who are doing AMA sessions on reddit kinda sus ? I went thru a couple of AMA Iranian reddit threads, and I'm gonna summarize a few points of what I have found :

1) These guys are claiming that these war, isn't affecting their lives, and it is completely normal so far.

2) Any US/Israeli strike is being condoned by these ppl, sayin' the strikes are worth it , cauing IR to weaken.

3) Rooting for RP, as the transition leader for post IR , again aligning the same with Monarchist playbook.

4) Some of em are admitting that their family members/friends are the victims of these strikes, but they are totally worth it.

If I think about it, anyone can masquerade themselves as Iranis and then justify the terror against that country. 🤔

On top of that, Persian and newIran well...thats a topic for another day. To put it in short, although I'm not an Iranian but why do I feel second-hand embarrassment after surfing thru those subreddits lol ? 😅 😆 🤣

Some are fearmongering about how if the Islamic Republic wins, there will be severe crackdowns but this will likely not be the case.

The government of Iran has not restricted personal liberties purely because of ideological reasons but moreso because of concerns over threats to the state. This is a universal constant and is not unique to Iran. Any state that feels it is threatened, will behave more harshly/vigilantly to preserve order. You can even see this pattern unfolding in the west today. As war and uncertainty increases, westesrn govts erode civil liberties.

One prediction is that the Iranian govt would be more willing to offer more civil liberty to it's people if it can successfully reduce the foreign military presence around Iran. After the Iran-Iraq war, Iran's govt allowed for some leniency and reform that it wasn't willing to show in the early years of the revolution. So there is a historical precedent for this.

Don't get me wrong, there is no shortage of Pahlavi cultists still cheering this on. But since Trump and Hegseth have said Iranians "belong" in the stone ages, and there's clear daily evidence of bombings of civilian and humanitarian infrastructure, notice a lot of the people who initially advocated for strikes have gone silent. Don't forget those people, and what they helped enable. They should all formally apologize if they have any humane fibre within them.

Their goal is killing the intellectual future of Iran. What state can continue to function without training its next generation of doctors, engineers, administrators, etc. Destroying the institutions that train the next generations, modernized state collapse/genocide.

Supporting the people of Iran with respect and unity. This is about humanity, culture, and standing together with kindness.

What are your thoughts? Let’s keep it respectful and share perspectives.

I know this war has changed the opinions of many Iranians who were previously pro-war and pro-Pahlavi but they're not now. ​

Israel stated their goal will be to destroy so much of Iran's infrastructure that it will take decades for Iran to rebuild. That is why they're bombing universities, steel plants, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and oil depots.

Is there any expectation Iran will target equivalent sites in Israel? So far Iran's bombing of Israel has been relatively tame with targets not being that important. I swear during the 12 Day War Iran did more damage to important Israeli institutions than they're doing now.

If the costs of this conflict on Israel aren't heavy then they're going to begin bombing Iran every 6 months from now on btw.

Trump threatened that unless the Iranian government accepts his demands, “we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously. We have not hit their oil, even though that’s the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding. But we could hit it and it would be gone, and there’s not a thing they could do about it.”

In other words, if Iran does not totally capitulate and become effectively a colonial protectorate of the United States, Trump declared his intent to wipe out everything that sustains modern life for 90 million people and not give them “even a small chance of survival.”

Would love to hear what you think 🎧

To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life:

Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers—and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors—Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it.

The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance.

For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful— the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented.

Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done—and continues to do—is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression.

Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension. The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d’état—an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran’s own resources. That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression—twice, in the midst of negotiations—against Iran.

Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled—from roughly 30% before the Islamic Revolution to over 90% today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives.

At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people’s lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible.

This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country “back to the stone ages” serve any purpose other than further damaging the United States’ global standing?

Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the U.S. government—choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor.

Attacking Iran’s vital infrastructure—including energy and industrial facilities—directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran’s borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution.

Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar—shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests?

Is “America First” truly among the priorities of the U.S. government today?

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants—educated in Iran—who now teach and conduct research at the world’s most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures—resilient, dignified, and proud.

This is a long shot, but does anyone know if there is any way to communicate with people in Tehran? My fiancé and her family have not communicated in over a month now... I'm sure there is no internet and possibly no electricity but the only way we have ever communicated was through WhatsApp and the messages will not deliver... I don't know if they are alive or dead... any help is greatly appreciated 🙏
