Iran’s system of government has nothing to do with it, unless you can explain why Saudi Arabia (who is responsible for 9/11) isn’t sanctioned or constantly under attack by Israel. America’s aggression against Iran is entirely for their oil and only harms innocent Iranians while strengthening the regime, by giving people an even more harmful enemy the regime can point to.
e: also your number is off by about 2/3rds, the highest estimate of deaths during 2022-2023 I can find is 500. That’s almost as much as one Israeli hospital bombing!
The system of government is not the reason for sanctioning, but it is a reason for people’s unhappiness.
During those protests in 2022-23, Iran used rape as a weapon, just like Israel did. They disturbed graves and funerals of victims of their own violence and intimidated those who survived. And to the number of victims, most estimates say more than 500. The state admits to about 300, but then again, that’s the same state that told people Nika Shakarami committed suicide after she had been beaten to death.
The fact that Israel commits a genocide does not excuse the amount of violence the Iranian state is using against their own people.
I do not agree with the sanctions on Iran regarding important medical or food items.
The fucking theocracy in power doesn’t help. Iran killed 1.500 innocent protesters during the 2022-2023 protesters and did the same in 2019 and 2009.
