Iranian Protests

Sir, you don't know anything about India. India is the most misogynist place in human history. Most rapes here against women happen not because the males were lustful but because they wanted to teach the women a lesson for being in public. The famous Jyoti Singh / Nirbhaya gangrape / torture case from Delhi 2012 happened because the criminals hated her for being out at night and with a male friend. They gangraped her and inserted metal rod into her vagina because they hated her being a free female, the same hate sentiment that Khamenei and his police and military have for the Irani women.

This is what Mukesh Singh, one of the gangrapists / torturers of Jyoti said without regret :


From the same article these are what the lawyers of those gangrapists / torturers said :


This is further what the lawyer of the Delhi rapists / torturers, ML Sharma, declared :


When the 8-year-old Kashmiri Muslim girl, Asifa, was gangraped and murdered in a Hindu temple in Jammu by the priest and some Hindutvadis and there was a police cover-up this wasn't lust, it was anti-Muslim hatred and anti-female hatred. Read this article about how they tortured her. What kind of lust was that ? And you know what happened then ? When the crooks were arrested the Hindutvadis including leaders of BJP party which rules India now, took out rallies in Jammu crying that the arrested "men" had families who were starving and they began collecting money for those "innocent" families. They shouted the slogan "Bharat Mata ki jai" which is a Hindutvadi slogan imposed on the country as the national slogan in 1947. They waved India's flag. Hindutvadis all over the country supported the gangrapists / torturers / murderers of Asifa.

However, if romantic / sexual dalliances in India are consensual they are frowned on by society, by the government and criminalized if the girl happens to be less than that stupid "adult age of 18" and especially if the male happens to say 30 and the male is then jailed under the irrational and Hindutvadi 2012 law called POCSO where the girl gets called a "child". LOL, how is a 15-year-old a child ? or even a 14-year-old ? The oppressive POCSO law derives from India's Anglo political system which is anti-democracy and there are political parties and elections and some idiot has arbitrarily declared that a human under the age of 18 is a "child" even if Nature commands puberty to be the age when one becomes naturally adult, especially the female. And this law becomes more dangerous if the male is Muslim and the girl is non-Muslim where the case turns into the Hindutvadis calling the male doing "Love Jihad" on the girl. And then there is of course the 3000-year-old Hindu culture of honor killing done by parents, brothers, cousins and villagers.

However, India has a large male homosexual culture. Just today a news agency, Deccan Herald, spoke of a man raping and killing a 1-year-old boy. The infant was killed because the crime would become known. When I was new to my city many years ago I went to the city's biggest public library's area. As I was walking near the lawns in that public place a middle-aged man came on his scooter and stopped near me and told me directly that his wife was out of town so he and me can "have fun at his house". I am good-looking and have had females and males admiring me openly or covertly but this was something different.

Lastly, please read in this long post of mine of the anti-True-Islamic culture of the modern Indian "Muslim" male with his beard, above-ankle white kurta pyjama dress, sometimes the Arab thawb as if wearing it will make him magically more Islamic ( LOL ) and the mesh cap, and the modern Indian "Muslim" female with her burqa with a cloth tightly bound around her head for the naqab. I have seen a burqa'ed woman going by my house with her seven-year-old daughter burqa'ed up. India has the largest number of burqa wearers in the world. The post is also about Islam generally and the irani protests.

I haven't even told you about female feticide.

So, my friend, you know nothing about India. :) But Indian anti-female anti-human traditional culture is not different from the Irani mullahs who impose the hijab.



These pictures have no context. No time of photography, no location. So they prove nothing.



It is always a sensible minority which changes things and progresses humanity. Weren't Hazrat Muhammad and his early Muslims a minority ? Weren't the Communist philosophers a minority ? In India now the rational people are in a minority, including me. The rest are right-wingers whether Hindu or Muslim or otherwise. Should that mean I decide I am wrong ? You may use the word "minority" to describe the irani protesters and they may be in minority or you are hiding the scale of the protests but this is a legitimate protest and the illegitimate Irani mullah terrorists should fall. They have no right to hold hostage the Irani women because of perverted beliefs. This is undemocratic and anti-human. The Western governments support the Irani mullahs tacitly but the Irani people will prevail, now or a year later.

Lastly, I will tell you that just yesterday in the South Indian city of Bangalore two Irani women expats protested against the mullahs on a prominent street, one chaining herself to a pole. In other Indian cities where there are Irani students they want to protest and hold marches but are afraid that the Hindu mullah government of Modi will deport them to Iran. Please don't mislead the people and especially yourself about the scale and intent of these protests.



Absolutely ! The shame ! :D



I Liked his post because he was reasonable there.



1. Iran's establishment does not run a Islamic republic. No Muslim-majority country does now. It was only I will say the Libyan Jamahirya, a Communist-Socialist truly revolutionary society unlike the fake Islamic revolution of Khomenei. Here is a Libyan girl from 2011 during NATO bombing, speaking her support for Muammar and the jamahiriya, and she does not wear hijab :

2. Balkanizing Iran into what ?

3. You keep speaking against NATO and one of its components is the Turkish government and both the Iran government and Turkish government oppress the Kurds and use any excuse to bombard the Kurds including the PKK elements. Iran government fired missiles into Kurd bases in Iraq recently. Where is there a confluence between Khamenei and Erdogan ?



Yet Irani military's first goals in Syria and those of its Shia non-Syrian allies in Syria included securing Shia-followed buildings like of Sayyida Zaynab that you write of later :

Shia religious mythology, beliefs and mysticism is more important to Irani military in Syria than defending the Syrian people and the Baath system.



1. Please don't use the word Iran to describe what are just the objectives of the Irani mullah government and its military elements like Basij, IRGC etc. These people do not represent the beliefs and aspirations of the most of the Irani people including those who are now protesting despite being violently opposed by the government.

"Iran" word used by Iran government to describe its policies is as misleading as Modi using "India" to describe his fascist, anti-human, Hindutvadi governments and administrators at the center and in many states. The Communist Party of India was established by seven people including two Muslims in Tashket in Uzbek SSR in 1920 - 102 years ago. Then the CPI dispersed into various factions within India and into the Communist Party of Pakistan and Communist Party of Bangladesh at the due times. In the pre-Indian-Partition days in Srinagar city in India-administrated Kashmir the famous landmark called Lal Chowk was so renamed by Kashmiri Muslim and Sikh Communists in inspiration from Red Square in Communist Moscow in their agitation against the Hindu raja whose dynasty had been created in the 1800s by the British colonialists. Does Modi represent all these streams in India ? There are many non-Communist progressives in India too. Modi does not represent any of that yet he arrogantly and lyingly uses "India" as if his word and ideology represents the desires and thinking of all Indians and India's history and current. This is improper and so is you and the Irani government using "Iran" to talk as if they represent all Iranis.

2. Iran promoting inter-denominational unity ? Firstly, the NATO-supported mullahs, whether openly supported or tacitly like in case of the Irani government, have always worked against Muslim advancement, freedoms and natural human rights. Secondly, what is Iran government doing in case of Yemen in not sending daily convoys of ships to feed the starving Yemeni people ? Iran government is busy in breaking the heads and bodies of Irani women. What unity is being displayed here ? What was the response of Iran government in 2011, especially then president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to the invasion of the Sunni-majority Libyan jamahiriya ? The biggest military invasion ever which also included Al Qaeda and "Muslim" Brotherhood, the former being the supposed enemy of the Iran government ? Mahmoud declared that the NATO-created destruction of the Libyan jamahiriya "was the will of the Libyan people".

You are claiming that the Irani protesters are NATO / Zionist enabled but tell me, it has been what two months since the protests started yet no vociferous condemnation by Western governments against the Irani mullah regime. Western music artistes are boycotting Qatar football events because Qatar government speaks against LGBT but these same Western music artistes have not uttered a word in support of Mahsa, Niko and the protesters and against the Irani government, the police, the Basij, the burqa brigade and the military. There is no talk of NATO-aided regime change for Iran. No "Right 2 Protect". No "They are killing civilians including women and children". Words NATO used in United Nations Terrorist Council against iraq, Libya and Syria. Why ? I want regime change in Iran but NATO does not. NATO never wanted the mullahs out. Khomenei was sitted comfortably by French government for a year till he arrogantly arrived in Tehran in 1979. NATO desires for the Irani mullahs to rule. All those sanctions are as fake as those imposed on India after India blasted nukes. You want to know what are sanctions then look at the DPRK.



Already answered above. In addition, Libya aided iran during Iran-Iraq war yet why didn't Irani military go to Libya in 2011 to aid Muammar Gaddafi and his guided Jamahiriya society and the Libyan defense forces against the imperialists you speak of in the next point ?





I will say Iran government should immediately declare war on NATO and Israel. All this in the middle of the Irani people declaring rebellion and agitation against Iran government. Let us see if the Irani people support the mullahs or use the opportunity to overthrow the mullahs and form their own progressive governance.



There you are ! Defense of religious mythology before defending the lives of the Syrian people. Not different than the so-called Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda and "I"SIS with its magazine called Dabiq.



1. You ignore Russia. There are Russian ships and aeroplanes in Syria and Syrians are present in Ukraine in support of Russia. Is the Irani military in Ukraine in support of "The Anti-imperialist Axis" ?

2. There is nothing Islamically religious about Irani mullahs and its military in Syria so it is incorrect to use the words secular and religious here. Islam in essence is a leftist ideology with much in common with modern Communism. Irani mullahs are none of this.



Because it is what the Irani people are now agitating for.



Syrians will reject it.



No, rightful ideology and humanity should always triumphs selfish governmental interests. Would the USSR have collaborated with the other fake Islamic Republic, that of the Taliban ?



Yes, the Irani protesters are mobs for you because they are not your beloved mullahs but reject the hijab. But we surely will find your past posts supporting Taliban mobs rampaging through Afghanistan before they took over last year all arranged by NATO.

Their country their problem. Stay out of it.

And Sorry to disagree with you on everything , but a few people protesting on the streets of a 80 million people country is not that big of a deal, not for the guy you want out at least. :) Let`s worry about india problems, shall we? Because apparently the people of Iran is not that worried. Like, at all.

There's an old saying, that it's better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth or in your case text, then remove all doubt. Another way to put it, is if you don't know what you're talking about, shut up...
 
I'm also glad to see you and the rest of ISIS clones in Iran show your terrorist nature.
Really! What a clown . You are a supporter of a backward ideology of tribal illiterate savages that did not know how to read and write. The Unaslamic Non Republic is a mirror of ISIS
By revealing your savage nature, not only you help Iranian government to track you, but also you help the rest of people to identify their enemies.

Is that a joke ? You have found the mastermind. Keep searching
After all, you are the same idiots who have conquered Iran every Year in your wet dreams!


Have a good look.For All of the unarmed women and children you and your co-conspirators have murdered. The day of reckoning soon .

It's never reached a yearly 40% since 2016. So you're posting disinformation.

Living standards are superior to what they used to be under the ousted pro-western / pro-zionist monarchy.

sadly i can't provide exact inflation after 1398 because by order of our beloved president after that year central bank didn't publish inflation rate
 
The football stadium regulation is to a large extent due to the fact that males present there use extremely dirty language in their chants. Would you be comfortable with your mother, sister and wife hearing sexual slurs shouted by thousands of men?
that nonsense logic , these days alot dirtier word you can hear from women mouth .
and by the way men say those words because you ban woman from stadiums .
as we say مجلس مردونه هستش
 
Guys! The ending ponit of nudity and western culture.

Well women are free to do whatever they want. No rules, no laws, no morality, like a jungle.


View attachment 898424 In the eyes of these people women are tools of joy and entertainment.
thats sort of art , more probably click bait and the one on right is a guy not girl

hope you don't think they actually melded together

Bottom line is that this phenomenon isn't new, it peaked in the second half of the 1380's and the first half of the 1390's already i.e. before the paper I cited was composed. Yet it did not cause living standards to regress in a sustained manner, let alone below pre-Revolution levels. There's no comparison between now and then. Iranians on average are significantly better off materially than they used to be prior to 1979, they can afford to consume far more.

that nonsense logic , these days alot dirtier word you can hear from women mouth .

Recent phenomenon, confined to a certain age group / generation and a certain social-cultural class.

and by the way men say those words because you ban woman from stadiums .
as we say مجلس مردونه هستش

There's a difference between a private gathering or even a public occasion such as, say, a concert of traditional music, and something like a football match, which is known to pander to the basest instincts, to be conducive to mass hysteria and aggressivity.

IRAN CRISIS UPDATE, NOVEMBER 18​

Kitaneh Fitzpatrick, Zachary Coles, Johanna Moore, Amin Soltani, and Frederick W. Kagan
November 18, 4:30 pm ET
The Iran Crisis Updates are produced by the Critical Threats Project (CTP) at the American Enterprise Institute with support from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). To receive Iran Crisis Updates via email, please subscribe here.
The ongoing, anti-regime protests are likely creating fractures among senior regime officials within the Iranian security establishment.
Uncorroborated social media accounts circulated reports that the regime’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) held two emergency meetings that resulted in SNSC Secretary Ali Shamkhani’s resignation.[1] Anti-regime outlet Iran International previously reported that some hardliners were advocating for Shamkhani’s dismissal on November 6, citing an informed source.[2] Another unverified social media account reported that Saeed Jalili--a hardliner who served as the SNSC secretary from 2007-2013—blamed unidentified security officials for failing to violently suppress anti-regime demonstrations. The account additionally claimed that IRGC and Iranian Law Enforcement Command officials expressed concerns about bandwidth constraints and low morale among personnel.[3] CTP cannot verify these rumors and such accounts should be treated with skepticism. SNSC-affiliated Nour News Agency denied that Shamkhani has resigned on November 18, suggesting that the report had garnered enough attention to merit a statement.[4] Nour’s denial is not dispositive, as the outlet has been known to deny things that have turned out to be true.
Regime officials and regime-affiliated actors alluded to disagreements over protest suppression tactics within the Iranian security apparatus on November 18, however. A Raisi administration official stated that the regime could expeditiously end unrest as soon as “the relevant authorities were willing” on November 18, suggesting divisions within the regime about how much violence security personnel should use to quell protesters.[5] A regime-affiliated cleric in a Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari town similarly stated that officials who lacked the courage to do “great things” should be removed from power and replaced by others more capable of implementing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s vision.[6] Hardline editor Hossein Shariatmadari, who is reportedly a close confidante of the Supreme Leader,[7] additionally advocated for greater use of force against protesters on November 18.[8] Statements calling to violently escalate against protesters—and criticizing the officials who are purportedly failing to implement this tactic—corroborate CTP’s previous assessments that critical nodes of the regime are unable to reach a consensus on how to confront the Mahsa Amini protests.[9]
Divisions within the SNSC—particularly Shamkhani’s resignation or ousting—would be especially significant given the importance of the council within the regime. The SNSC is the most senior national security and foreign policy decision-making body in the Iranian regime, and Shamkhani has served as the Supreme Leader’s personal representative within the council since 2013. Shamkhani has additionally held several senior security posts within the regime and is an extended member of the IRGC Command Network—the informal human network forged by service together in the Iran-Iraq War that has controlled the IRGC and, increasingly, joint IRGC-Artesh organizations—for decades.[10] Shamkhani is a trusted advisor of the supreme leader, and calls for Shamkhani’s resignation may be an indirect criticism of the Supreme Leader’s protest suppression response. Criticisms of Shamkhani—and holding him responsible for ongoing unrest—could alternatively suggest that Khamenei is playing a less active role in executing senior policy decisions than he typically would.
Shamkhani is a most unlikely public scapegoat. He does not have a prominent public persona and is most important as one of the most inside of insiders. He may have considerable influence over the course of SNSC discussions that determine the shape of the regime’s response to protests especially if the supreme leader is inaccessible or unable, mentally or physically, to fulfill his responsibilities. It is noteworthy that Khamenei has not appeared in public recently and has reportedly participated in other events without posting any current photos or videos.[11] The shadow of a possibly imminent supreme leader succession has covered the entire protest period and could be manifesting as a challenge to one of Khamenei’s closest and most trusted advisors and mouthpieces.
The IRGC has threatened to launch a ground invasion into Iraqi Kurdistan in the coming weeks. AP published additional information on November 18 about IRGC Quds Force Commander Esmail Ghaani’s November 14 meeting in Baghdad with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid – A Kurdish politician – and several other Iraqi and Kurdish officials. Ghaani reportedly warned that the IRGC will conduct ground operations against anti-regime Kurdish militants based in Iraqi Kurdistan unless the Iraqi army fortifies the Iran-Iraqi Kurdistan border and disarms all anti-regime Kurdish militias operating within Iraqi Kurdistan.[12] The IRGC has intermittently conducted artillery, rocket, and missile attacks into Iraqi Kurdistan since Iranian protests began in September 2022.[13] The Iranian regime has blamed anti-regime Kurdish militias operating on both sides of the Iran-Iraq for fomenting Iran’s ongoing domestic unrest, as CTP has previously reported.[14]
The Iraqi constitution forbids the Iraqi army from entering Iraqi Kurdistan, and the Iraqi army likely lacks the military capacity to meet Ghaani’s demands.[15] A significant Iraqi army redeployment to Iraqi Kurdistan would likely enable ISIS to intensify operations in other areas of Iraq and undermine the popularity of the current Iran-friendly government in Baghdad. Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani called on Iran to cease military operations against anti-regime militants in Iraqi Kurdistan and warned Iran that its domestic “tensions should not be exported to neighboring countries” in a November 17 statement.[16] Barzani’s remarks indicate that the KRG and significant portions of the Peshmerga, the KRG’s official military force, would likely actively resist any IRGC or Iraqi army efforts to operate against Kurdish groups within Iraqi Kurdistan. Iraqi and Kurdish politicians very likely will not accede to Ghaani’s demands, suggesting he may have presented them with an unacceptable ultimatum to use as political cover for a planned ground invasion.
Recent Turkish threats to also conduct military operations against armed Kurdish groups in Iraq and Syria increase the likelihood of an IRGC ground campaign in Iraqi Kurdistan and present Iraqi Kurdistan with the danger of simultaneous invasion from north and east. Multiple senior Turkish officials have accused armed Kurdish groups of detonating the bomb that killed at least six people and wounded 81 more in Istanbul on November 13.[17] Turkish President Recep Erdogan and several cabinet-level officials warned that Turkey plans respond to the attacks by conducting military operations against armed Kurdish groups in Iraq and Syria.[18] The Turkish military consequently may intensify its air campaign against armed Kurdish groups in Iraqi Kurdistan. The US State Department’s Erbil Consulate issued a warning to US citizens to avoid areas in northern Iraq and northern Syria due to a “potential Turkish military action” in the coming days, further substantiating the possibility of Turkish military operations in either or both regions.[19] Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi and Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu held a phone call on November 17 to discuss issues related to “security cooperation against terrorism,” possibly including the prospect of conducting simultaneous military operations against armed Kurdish groups in Iraqi Kurdistan.[20] A concurrent Turkish military operation would provide Iran with additional political cover to launch a ground invasion and, furthermore, increase the effectiveness of the invasion.
The potential renewal of Turkey’s campaign against armed Kurdish groups in northern Syria may, however, impede close cooperation between the IRGC and Turkish military. Turkish rhetoric has emphasized that the November 13 terror attack is connected to alleged terror cells in the Manbij area of northeastern Aleppo Province.[21] Syria. Iran has historically prioritized protecting the Shia-majority towns of Nubl and Zahraa located approximately 75 kilometers from Manbij; Hezbollahi militants maintain a significant military presence around the villages.[22] A potential Turkish military operation aimed at Manbij may also include military activity nearby the Shia-majority villages, which Lebanese Hezbollah militants would likely fiercely resist. A direct military confrontation in northern Syria consequently may obstruct military cooperation between Iran and Turkey in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Prominent Sunni Cleric Moulana Abdol Hamid continued to criticize the regime’s violent protest suppression response during his weekly Friday prayer sermon on November 18. Abdol Hamid stated that Sistan and Baluchistan residents would not surrender to threats nor compromise their demands.[58] Abdolhamid traced the origins of the present unrest in the province to the regime’s unfair treatment of Iranian Sunnis and the Baloch since the 1979 revolution. [59]
The regime is continuing to sustain security personnel casualties. IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that protesters killed Sahneh City IRGC Intelligence Commander Colonel Nader Birami on November 18.[60] Tasnim also confirmed the death of a Basij member and IRGC officer in Boukan, West Azerbaijan Province on November 17.

Protest Map - 18 NOV.png
 
Just a few people protesting !

Indeed, mini-gatherings again, by extremist elements making lots of noise but failing to change the equation. Dwarfed as they've consistently been by pro-government rallies.

These oppositionists have been promising a multi-million march for the past three months, to no avail.

In February 1979, some 3 million Iranians came to greet Imam Khomeini (r.A.a.) at Mehrabad Airport while Iran had barely 38 million inhabitants, versus 85 million today.

Nonetheless rioters can hardly mobilize more than a couple hundreds at a time, let alone the 6,5 million they'd need to rival the Islamic revolutionaries of 1979. Boring, these counter-revolutionaries.

Nothing to see! Meanwhile they are moving armed divisions of Sepah to crush people. What you are hearing is not a war zone just Hollywood.

Separatists and terrorists getting dealt with in Mahabad. What patriot wouldn't salute the effort?

What happened to the assumption that secularist and nationalist Iranians will take matters into their own hands and stop any separatist movement in its tracks? Seems like they do need the Islamic Republic to ensure Iran's territorial integrity after all.

Because this minority of anti-IR oppositionists is actually busy siding with separatists. Like that "Tweet" shared above, it's separatist propaganda. "Jash" being a derogatory term used by "ethinicist" separatists who pretend to represent Kurds, and it's meant to ostracize any Kurdish-speaker choosing to stay loyal to the larger nation-state they're citizens of, in this case Iran. In short, those "peaceful protesters" are wishing death upon Kurdish-speaking Iranians who refuse to sell out their motherland Iran.

I have to say Iran now is worst than life under shah.

Shah alone wasted more money on his own than entire Iranian parliament members today would.

If Iranian protests are so big then why they are taking western help?

You always have the same rebuttable. Anyone who questions this establishment, is a separatist , zionists, bla bla. You are like Baghdad Bob.

If you understand the history of Iran, then you know that the Kurds are the old Medes and are of Iranian stock.
This is not a mini gathering. This 10 to 15000 people in one setting.

The revolutionaries died long ago. This is despotic regime today worst that the Shah. The mulla class is now the aristocracy full of shit. They are worst than Ashraf and the people in the inner circle of the Pahlavi regime.

The difference between this regime, you are too young to know , and Shah, they were not willing to open fire into crowds of protestors. The brutality of this regime trumps Saddam.

Once again, you slander the Kurdish people .

No doubt the people disseminating this information on twitter are elements of the See eye A, but it does not change the fact that it is happening daily . There are plenty of anti-human, Christ killers chest beating that they care about the Iranian nation all of a sudden. That is all noise. The signal is people's grievances with this regime.
Deliberately spelling the initial -a of azadi with hamze instead of alef, just to mark a difference with the national language. More separatist incitement in this "Tweet".
The regime has never endured such push back against its rule. It has capitulated to the women. I just watched videos today from Tehran and there are others posted on youtube which show women walking around without head coverings.

If these protests continue, which they do not seem to be dying down, the next step will probably be a coup d'etat. This regime must change. Unfortunately for nation of Iran, it will not happen peacefully because the regime is systematically corrupt beyond reform. I have been on this forum for the past 15 years ( when it was Iran Military Forum) Long before you and your cohorts joined. Most of the economic discussions about Iran's lack of real growth or even military growth leads to mulla corruption.

Shah alone wasted more money on his own than entire Iranian parliament members today would.

If Iranian protests are so big then why they are taking western help?
Where is your evidence that the protestors are receiving Western help?Show me.
When you have no way air out your grievances, then the only way to make change is through a violent uprising.

This is your clan. Kicking and hitting an older woman in the head with a baton. The whole world is watching and once your enablers in Europe cut the tentacles, your days are numbered.

Massive crowd that dwarfs the bussed and paid for crowds

Those are extremely brave women and girls

Oppressive regimes are doomed with growing social media technology which allows the truth to be shown .

Iran needs to restore order and common sense in their security policemen who appear be out of control
