Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):

>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.


>First and foremost, it should be emphasised that the nature of a movement determines the extent to which it can be exploited or redirected. In an independent workers’ movement, this possibility is considerably low; however, in an “all-together” movement, the scope for reactionary forces to intervene is much greater. Within this framework, a serious question arises: can the statement issued by students at Isfahan University, in which it was asserted that “the 1979 revolution was a historical mistake,” be regarded merely as the result of external manipulation and interference?


>For leftists who, through demagoguery, consider students to be “working-class students,” it is as if students necessarily advance the demands of the working class in every protest. In reality, however, students are not inherently revolutionary; at times, they can play a counter-revolutionary role, and at other times, depending on objective conditions and their connection to the class struggle, they can assume a revolutionary role. To clarify this issue, two specific examples can be cited.


>The student protests of July 1999 arose in response to the closure of the reformist[8] newspaper Salam. These protests served the interests of the reformist faction of the Islamic bourgeoisie, and students became instruments in intra-governmental struggles. Nevertheless, the movement exacted a heavy toll, leaving many dead and injured, and profoundly altered the fate of some of the students.


>In contrast, in autumn 2018, following the widespread workers’ protests, students openly expressed solidarity with the workers’ struggles and placed class demands at the centre of their slogans. By chanting slogans such as “We are the children of workers; we stand with them,” they effectively became integrated into a segment of the workers’ class movement and played a role distinct from that of previous periods.


>When the working class emerges as an independent social class in the course of societal developments, the scope for manoeuvre of not only the right- and left-wing tendencies of capital but also ultra-reactionary bourgeois forces and adventurist elements is sharply reduced. This is because the independent presence of the proletariat exposes the real contradictions of capitalism and prevents protests from being redefined and co-opted within bourgeois, pro-democracy, or imperialist frameworks.


>A clear example of this situation can be seen in the workers’ protests of autumn 2018, a period during which media outlets such as the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Israel, and other bourgeois propaganda instruments were effectively sidelined and lost the ability to influence the protests. Under such conditions, bourgeois tendencies—particularly the hypocritical and liberal tendencies of the Western bourgeoisie—were compelled to be silenced, as the language, perspective, and demands of these protests could not serve their class interests.


>The shameful Islamic bourgeoisie has plunged into one of the deepest crises in its disgraceful history, and consolidating itself is not so easy. To demonstrate its power and to pretend it has a social base, the Islamic bourgeoisie issued a call for marches in all cities on 11 January. This call was an overt attempt to stir public sentiment and to draw people into a government-organised demonstration.


>On 11 January 2026, the state broadcaster aired a report from the Kahrizak forensic centre showing scenes of corpses in a large warehouse. The Islamic bourgeoisie claimed that these bodies belonged to individuals who had been harmed by “rioters” during the protests, but the main purpose was to stir public sentiment and garner support for the government. The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.


>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)

>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.


>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.


>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!


>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!


>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.


>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!


>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.


>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

>>2657965
Anon the Arak Soviet is arming itself as we speak

>>2657965
It may be that the US and its allies attempted to meddle with the protests, calling it a regime change attempt is an overstatement due to the lack of a basis for Iran's realignment to the west and ability to affect Iranian politics to the extent that it would be successful. Even if hypothetically a color revolution took place and Iran's regime was overthrown by a more liberal bourgeois regime, it couldn't result in the same outcome as the color revolutions in Eastern Europe, ie. NATO expansion or something of the like. So instead what we are likely to see is more protests that end up being put down by brute force until the economic instability makes the civilian regime unable to pay the military enough that they'll be willing to keep doing it.

Yes, I monopolized the previous threads to spread the words of my Iranian comrades on the ground because I'm all too familiar with their struggle and theirs is mine.

Yes, I defended the honor of the voiceless Iranian proletariat against the savagery of the combined forces of reaction, and I will always defend them, whether on a chinese labubu-making forum, or in the streets serving under one red banner inshallah.

Carrying the wounded along blood-soaked sidewalks, under the sound of people being shot at.

One person says, “I don’t have a belt.” Another (dragging his leg, drenched in blood) takes off his belt: “Here, here, here…”

US Push to Topple Iran Serves Global Push for Primacy

<The targeting of Iran is just one part of a global-spanning US foreign policy objective. Just as the US has eliminated Iranian allies across the region to isolate Iran itself, the US is attacking, degrading, and eliminating Chinese partners around the globe to isolate China.


>I've written another article for Beijing Review. It's titled US push to topple Iran serves global push for primacy. Now, I previously did an article and video about the US attack on Iran. That's exactly what what this has all been another attack on Iran by proxy, but an attack nonetheless. And I talked about the importance of securing information space, not just in Iran, but all around the globe. Because if you don't, the US is going to continue doing this to Iran and they're going to continue threatening all nations with these consequences until nations sufficiently secure themselves against this threat. This article, I want to talk about the big picture and how the war on Iran is a war on multipolarism. You remember some people out there telling me, especially me, telling me, Brian, you're wrong. The you're you're bent out of shape over the US attacking Venezuela. All this proves is that the US is carving out its own sphere of influence. They're going to let Russia and China carve out their own sphere of influence and we'll all live happily ever after. You're an alarmist. You think that the US is at war with the entire world. It's simply not true. Well, here we have evidence right in front of our eyes that even as the US is carving out its own little sphere of influence in in the Western Hemisphere, which it also has no right to do and no justification for doing, it's still attacking Iran halfway around the world, in the Middle East. It's still attacking Russia through its proxy war in Ukraine, in Eastern Europe. It is still attacking China by backing militants, destroying Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure here in Southeast Asia. is still stationing tens of thousands of US troops closer to China than to America's own shore. So this this is a war on multipolarism and it is only supercharging. Attacking Venezuela was part of it. It was not a retreat to the Western Hemisphere. It is part of a global war on multipolarism the US is waging. So let me read through this article. As always I will give you additional information when if necessary and I will show you all of the sources that I cited while writing this article[…]

it has happened with every single one of these events going back to Libya in 2011 where there were articles from communist parties in the West criticising the tyrant Gaddafi while gushing over people's councils and revolutionary militias. same thing with Syria etc… at some point you have to question if the people are constantly falling for the same trick or theres something else going on.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry told the country’s parliament that it was preparing to create a buffer zone over the Iranian border if the regime in Tehran falls, according to the Turkiye daily.
Ankara fears a wave of refugees heading toward Iran, and diplomats briefed lawmakers that “we are making preparations for all eventualities, with our A, B, and C plans. We believe there should be a buffer zone to ensure that those who arrive in the event of a migration remain on the Iranian side.”
Turkey currently maintains a buffer zone in northern Syria.

“After the Syrian civil war, Turkey was forced to open its doors to millions of refugees, and integrating them into both society and the economy proved to be a very painful process,” says Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak of the Moshe Dayan Center. “Erdoğan was accused for years of failing to stop the waves of migration. It now appears that, in light of the lessons learned from Syria, border security will be kept tight this time.”

I genuinely don't care about leftism in Iran or anywhere else.
I just want to destroy america, everything else is secondary.
The biggest obstacle to leftism is America and its bullshit individualism and get rich quick schemes.
No country has polluted the minds of proles and intelligentsia like the fucking moral shithole of USA with its personal wealth cult.
Everyone is infected with false consciousness because America as a whole, from think tank to average joe has preached that bullshit prosperity gospel that you just have to become rich while everyone else suffers.
Thanks to america, every moderately wealthy third worlder thinks they are just a temporarily frustrated billionaire and just has to work a little harder, while the whole desire of being rich IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM.
This is why I don't care about leftism in some fucking sanctioned third world country.
What I care about is DESTROYING THE MENACING SHITHOLE of murica.
Everything that supports that goal, I support.
I am willing to ally with anything and anyone to destroy the bullshit freedom lubing shithole society of america.
I want americans to be enslaved by those they consider inferior.
I want americans to thank the killers of their children.
I want americans to experience the pain their arrogant bullshit inflicted on others.

Iran can easily become communist because it has centralized authoritarianism.

>In the West, a certain "nationalist left" has from the outset downplayed the street clashes as the result of a conspiracy, a covert manoeuvre by the CIA and Mossad. In reality, today as yesterday, even without the incitement of any secret service, countless demonstrators, many of whom have been arrested and killed, are protesting for better living conditions and spontaneously hate a regime that starves them, represses them, and eliminates all forms of civil and trade union rights. Promoting the interests of a bourgeoisie that hides behind Islamic priests and uses its own working class as cannon fodder as ’popular resistance’ or ’anti-imperialist’ reveals the nature and position of parties that are entirely internal to the needs, conflicts, and wars of bourgeois States, Stalinist and ex-Stalinist parties and currents that not only have nothing to do with communism but are not even an expression of the working class, imprisoning and subjugating its immediate and historical interests in the lie of ’national reality’. Regional powers are linked to this or that imperialist superpower. They are also in competition among themselves, but in any case hostile to their respective working classes, starved, exploited, and massacred.

**Note: When stuff in Iran goes down, my natural inclination is to avoid doing content and stay above the fray, at least until the media hysteria dies down. Not the best way to run a media project, I know, but I just have a hard time with all the breathless coverage–BREAKING!!!–and don't really want to feed it. Even then, I am still Iranian, and if people ask me to record during these times, my cultural programming compels me to accept the invitation.

This episode of @FREDSHETSARNA with Mehmet and Erik was recorded last Friday as I was travelling for work and at the end of a busy, emotional day. The scale of what had just transpired in Iran was becoming clear to me that morning in between working on the footage I had recorded the day earlier, itself an intense and emotional experience for entirely different, non-Iran-related reasons.

All of this is to say that by the time I recorded with these guys that afternoon, I was feeling pretty loopy. You can kinda hear it at the beginning of the episode when I had the giggles and infected everyone else with them! I have no idea how I come off in this episode (too lazy to check it too, sorry), and I was reluctant to even post to this feed!! In my memory, I was exceptionally wandering in my rants. Maybe I'm wrong and it's the same Sini as usual. IDK.**

———————-

"Listen to the Iranians" they kept saying.

Well, we give you Sina Rahmani, the indomitable host of @eastpodcast and producer of countless other anti-imperialist shows.

We talk about the events in Iran which have been one-sidedly and sensationally presented in the west. In the background the Empire and the Ethno-state have their fingers dirty.

So why is Iran such an important target for the Empire and what does it mean to be sovereign?

We discuss some of the contents of the imperial toolbox and factors leading up to the protests. Economic pressure with sanctions and currency manipulation, smuggling of Starlink units and weapons to foment violent riots and the media machinery.

We discuss the Shah and his son, the clown-prince in exile, Iranian diaspora, support for Palestine and what the destruction of the Iranian state would mean to people in the area.

While the battle may be over the war might just have begun. The peoples and states in the crosshairs of a dying empire will keep being demonised. If they resist they are authoritarian, if they open up they’ll be vulnerable. What the future holds and what the way forward to avoid a devastating war is unknown.

Early in the episode Sina reads a testimony from his friend Navid Zarinnal, who is living in Teheran. He hosts a podcast on imperialism called The Colony Archive, which we highly recommend.

Please note that we had some technical difficulties in the beginning, that led to a lot of chaos and laughter. Big thanks to Sina for being such a joyful human being even in these difficult times.

this is israeli misinfo. 30k died in the first year of gaza, probably more because the health ministry shut down almost immediately. the other lie I've seen uses "first week" but hamas put down entire battalions of idf so the first week after oct 7 was spent trying to rally reservists to catch small detachments of skirmishers deep behind the israeli lines.

Geopolitics back then meant geographic determinism Dugin-style. Now it just means power relations between countries, which is something that the Soviets obviously analyzed and participated in without calling it geopolitics.
It's very similar to how people say that the Soviets "banned cybernetics" because in the 1950s cybernetics meant proto-techbro theories about how computers should run society, and not just "computer stuff". The Soviets had cybernetic facilities since Stalin's time but didn't call them "cybernetics" since that term was way more specific and ideologically marred back then.

The problem with Iran is that it's already a neoliberal country with Chinese, Russian and Euro contractors operating the oil fields.

US reconnaissance plane spotted flying near Iranian airspace
A source from the air traffic control agency told the Russian TASS news agency that a Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine and anti-drone aircraft was spotted flying near Iranian airspace.

The source recalled that the plane was spotted in the skies of the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman near Iranian airspace at an altitude of 6,000 meters.

According to reports, the aircraft has the high capability to monitor large areas on land and sea and carries out reconnaissance missions between 10 and 15 times a day.

This move came at a time when there was a possibility of a US military coup against Iran.

>In this climate, the United States has threatened to intervene ’in favour of the demonstrators’, but it is not easy to understand whether they will opt for regime change, as happened, with the roles reversed, in 1979 against the pro-Western Shah Reza Pahlavi, or for a change within the framework of the theocratic regime, preserving it, as appears to have happened with regard to the so-called Bolivarian regime in Venezuela, as both are considered the best at playing the role of gendarme against the proletariat.

No, it's not. Im not talking about some vague abstract of "other nations", I am talking about the US, its global empire and its direct opponent. You can try to extrapolate it to some universal maxim, but that's simply you coping and not being able to engage my argument on its own grounds.

>>2680902
>i said THE state, the bourgeois state which includes the islamic republic
I don't care about your abstractions. The iranian regime is not this universal bourgeois state, regime change in iran doesn't meaningfully effect this universal bourgeois state. In fact, it could only strengthen this THE state, by weakening opposition to US hegemony.

>why exactly should the iranian working class continue to eat shit just to placate your own feelings on geopolitics?

I have literally no control over what the Iranian working class does retard. I simply don't agree with the sentiment that the current Iranian regime should be replaced by a liberal pro western one. Which, I mean, if you think there's any other outcome to toppling the IRI, you're beyond retarded.

>>2680913
>I don't care about your abstractions

> The iranian regime is not this universal bourgeois state
the rianian state is a theocratic state that kills more of their citizens than they kill israelis

>I simply don't agree with the sentiment that the current Iranian regime should be replaced by a liberal pro western one. Which, I mean, if you think there's any other outcome to toppling the IRI, you're beyond retarded.
then you're not a communist and you should just join the DSA

>>2680881
There is footage of the protesters' corpses, numbering at the very least in hundreds, with eyewitness reports from iran to corroborate. There's no proof given by the Iranian government that foreign intelligence agencies were involved in the way they were claiming (ie. releasing the crowd for attempted regime change) during the protests. They would release it, if they had any. I'm not saying we know for sure they are not involved in any capacity. However, Iran experiences these protests once every 2 years, and each time they crush them to the tune of hundreds of casualties, so you can fuck off with all the endless apologea for the IRGC.

>>2680930
< The iranian regime is not this universal bourgeois state
>the rianian state is a theocratic state that kills more of their citizens than they kill israelis
Wild non sequitur lol. How is that related to weakening THE state through iranian regime change? Another israeli/US ally in the ME will facilitate this somehow?
>lmao what opposition? it has lost in literally every single theatre of conflict against the us and its allies
Just because the US empire is the most lethal and strongest reactionary force in history and resistance against it is largely an uphill battle of unimaginable proportions, doesn't mean that opposition towards it is simply meaningless or worth discarding in favor of the interests of the US ruling class

None of that is proof that "thousands were beheaded", a claim like that is pure atrocity propaganda

Except that the israelis freely admit and have admitted for years that they have deeply infiltrated Iran at various levels. It is very naïve to assume they wouldn't use any opportunity to facilitate regime change in Iran, as they have been advocating for for years.

> once every 2 years, and each time they crush them to the tune of hundreds of casualties, so you can fuck off with all the endless apologea for the IRGC

Yeah I don't think it's flawless dog. I just think regime change facilitates US/Israeli/Saudi interests in the region and it would be a total clusterfuck. That's not apologia sorry

Saudi or US-aligned regime change is not a likely result here. In part because the US is not seriously interested in including Iran in its sphere of influence because it doesn't have a means to vassalize Iran, or even keep it in check. Iran is a nation of 90 million with modern military capacity, which means that the US is not realistically able to intervene without ruining its economy and destabilizing its own society. If the United States truly wanted to include Iran in its sphere of influence, it would have continued the Obama policy of detente and bilateral agreements to lower tension. They would have happily become a second Saudi Arabia or an Egypt. So an attempt to usurp the leadership of Iran to further US interests is not going on here. It's just standard destabilization attempts at most, which hardens the IRGC's rule more than anything. What we're witnessing in Iran is the simultaneous collapse of capitalism (at least in its present shape) and the government with nothing to replace it. This is why talking about these protests as a creation of the CIA and Mossad is ridiculous.

>What we're witnessing in Iran is the simultaneous collapse of capitalism (at least in its present shape) and the government with nothing to replace it
Finally someone who nails it in the head. The sanctions have de facto ended the existence of modern (or at least post mercantile) capitalism in Iran, but unlike in N Korea or Cuba the disintegration of the IR gov's functionality means that there is nothing to replace that. Whatever remains of the Iranian government at this point is just a patronage network for at most 20% of the population while the rest of Iran basically lives in an anarchic, precarious way of live. I do not doubt that Mossad played a role in the protests, but the idea that this is not a fertile ground for organic dissatisfaction is ridiculous

If the regime falls it is far more likely than anything else. There is already a huge operation in place to facilitate it, elements of the american ruling class have been pushing for it for years. I mean it's all right there and like you said, there's nothing inside Iran to replace the current government. The only remaining force of any capacity will be US alignment/western liberalism

Don't think the U.S. really wants a war because Iran has a lot more ballistic missiles within range of U.S. bases than it does the bigger ones which can reach Israel, and there just isn't enough air defense. The U.S. fired off something like 1/4 of its THAAD interceptor stockpile in the last round.

Iranian missiles killed whooping three (3) USA troops in the past decade, which includes ultra super serious operations like Qatar bombing and Soleimani retaliation.

Anyway the real reason the US doesn't want to overthrow the IRGC (yet) because it is the perfect attack dog for capitalists to subdue workers in the region. The US didn't fire a single bullet to defend its oil contractors in Iraq for the past decade because militias are there to do that job for them. Same with IMF austerity in Lebanon and its guardian Hezbollah.

is this still hapening i thot the protest was over last month

The woman who was lynched by the Revolutionary Guards in Iran has died.
The identities of those who lost their lives during the ongoing protests in Iran and Rojhilat (Eastern Kurdistan) continue to be revealed.

Footage of the attack, which reportedly took place on January 8, was only released to the press on January 23 due to internet outages. The images showed a woman lying on the ground being kicked by members of the Revolutionary Guard. This woman was later identified as Sara Ebrahimi.

According to journalist and writer Paksima Mojmozi, after being beaten, Ebrahimi was taken to a wooded area out of sight of cameras. There, she was allegedly targeted in the head with a sharp object and subjected to severe torture. Sara Ebrahimi died on February 6th as a result of the injuries she sustained in this attack.

Sara Ebrahimi, who was taken to four different hospitals after being injured, was reportedly refused admission by all of them, but was eventually treated at a fifth hospital. It was stated that Sara Ebrahimi could not be saved despite all efforts.

The death of Sara Ebrahimi was announced to the public by journalist and writer Paksima Mojmozi. In a post on her social media account, Paksima Mojmozi stated that Ebrahimi was murdered by the Revolutionary Guards and shared details of the incident.

Wtf is revolutionary guard?

>Iran’s FM: I hope within next year we will witness the prevalence of diplomacy over war. Our policy is close cooperation with neighbors. I hope all sides will work together to prevent conflict and ensure stability. Iran's FM: We are very serious in talks [with the US]. We seek real negotiations to reach a result, provided the other side is serious and ready for result-oriented talks. There is a long wall of mistrust towards the US. We hope that enough trust can be built to achieve a result

>Don't think the U.S. really wants a war because Iran has a lot more ballistic missiles within range of U.S. bases
Another thing for multipolarists to consider is this:
USA probably doesn't really have a vested interest in eliminating all its enemies–just clipping their wings enough while they are still scary.
Trump's foreign policy is mostly to take advantage of US allies because he knows US allies won't abandon US protection so long as the enemies are there, and Trump wants to negotiate with the enemies even–this helps with US expansion and solidifying US control over its vassal states.
Nothing is more useful to subjugating your vassals than fear of an enemy.
What would NATO be without fear of Russia? Or fear of European countries breaking into world wars without US hegemony?
What would US protection of the Sunni Gulf Monarchies be without fear of the Revolutionary Republican Anti-Monarchy Islamic Shia sect of Iran?
What would South Korea and Japan be without fear of China?
USA right now is calling to capture Greenland, because of fear that China or Russia might take it later and offset NATO security.
In my experience, when defeat and the approach of an enemy is extremely close, people are willing to give so much–that is why war propaganda is so effective.

Plato:
>If this fear had not possessed them, they would never had met the enemy or defended their temples and sepulchres and their country, and everything that was near and dear to them, as they did; but little by little they would have been all scattered and dispersed.

Xenophon Cyropaedia
>But none the less Cyrus was able so to penetrate the vast extent of the countries by the sheer terror of his personality that the inhabitants were prostate before him.

Thomas Hobbes
>That men who choose their Sovereign, do it for fear of one another, and not of him whom they institute: But in this case, they subject themselves, to him they are afraid of. In both cases they do it they do it for fear.

Fear seems to unite people indiscriminately–if there was something that threatened your lives, I'm sure the most stubborn communist on /leftypol/ would unite with the most stubborn nazi on /pol/–kind of like that scene from Halo CE where the marines and aliens are dead together because of fear of the Flood.

Should I side with Khameini or the protesters?
Imagine both scenarios
>Protesters give up and Khameini stays in power
If this happens things would continue as they did before, Iran continues to be an Anti-Socialist reactionary theocracy were Women and queer people don't have rights but on the upside they fund militant groups in the region that fight against American imperialism.
>Protesters win and Khameini is ousted from power
If this happens there would not be a socialist government. Women and queer people might get some more rights but it would just be another McVassal-State like Egypt or Jordan.
So it is just damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Another doctrine of US foreign policy is the Powell Doctrine.
Key principles of the Powell Doctrine include:
>Vital Interests: Military action must be taken only when crucial national security interests are threatened.
>Overwhelming Force: When force is used, it should be decisive and massive, aiming for a swift victory rather than "halfway measures".
>Clear Objectives: The goals of the mission must be specifically defined and attainable
>Exit Strategy: A clear, pre-defined plan for withdrawing forces must exist before intervention.

I think the most staple thing about the Powell Doctrine is the use of overwhelming force if they are going to do anything. When the US invaded Venezuela, there was massive military buildup with clear objectives.
I imagine another reason US invaded Venezuela, besides oil, was to intimidate Iran.
