Iran protesters chanting ‘DEATH to Rouhani’ and raise slogans against Khamenei

I agree with you but I meant the nationalistic and religious nature of iran will not be like Syria and Libya it's also the different nature of shiasm from sunni Islam
Certainly not and it's not due to religion but rather that iran has well trained security forces and majority of Iranians are against partition whether turks ; Arabs or Persians and these groups for over 85 percent of Iran .

Baloch and kurds have always been under effective control and they do not possess the capacity or ability to break from Iran, they can though continue running small insurgencies within their villages and towns nothing more than that .

Foreign powers understand they cannot take down the Iranian government but they are utilizing such protests and events to force the Iranian government to spend more on their internal security and reduce support for their foreign proxies in Lebanon and Syria .

The pictures of Iranian citizens killed in cold blood by Iranian security forces will damage iran's soft power and image that it supports democracy .

Iran's regime is not different than any other Arab regime ; it's a repressive government and would be willing to do anything to stay in power .

My only problem with Iran is their support for foreign armed groups other than that I don't care what they do in their borders and I certainly favor them over the Iranian opposition .

The partition of Iran would be a casatrophe for the middle east and Saudi Arabia will be next if that happens my god forbid .

The drilling of oil in Iran was a result of a business deal, which was renegotiated several times.
Nationalization is another name for grand theft, and is not more legal than overthrowing Mossadegh through a coup.
Both are examples of ”might is right”.

you are 100% wrong. You could not be more wrong if you tried. anglo looting of Iranian oil and other resources was never a "business deal" but a imperialisticly imposed tax by the british on the Iranian nations wealth.

please read up a little history before spewing ignorance. The oil issue in iran is extremely sensitive. And its outright insulting to call the british looting of iran (and half the other world they looted) as "business deals"

its astonishing how ignorant "western people" are of imperialism. a product of fine propaganda not even stalin could match
 
Protests finally make it to the great city of Tabriz, the city of Constitutional Revolution a century ago...

 
People are protesting against the corruption of an islamo-fascist mafia that has been robbing them blind for the past 40 years, and has been using mass murder, torture, rape, violence, targeted killings and all manner of coercion and blackmail tactics to keep them in submission.

A few families connected to the highest levels of the regime and the leader have been getting fatter and fatter and becoming obscenely rich, while presiding over the systematic dispossession of the average Iranian through regime sanctioned schemes and sweetheart deals, resulting in industrial scale thefts of the country's financial resources.

The system is thoroughly corrupt. The people with the guns (IRGC) control the economy. There's no independent judiciary. The justice system is just a political tool in the hands of the IRGC and the leader. There's no transparency. They convict you of whatever they want behind closed doors, and there's no accountability. There's no oversight over the security system. They nab people from their homes in the middle of the night. And later deliver their beaten and tortured bodies to their families. And nobody can say a word.

Same is true with the TV, radio and mass media. The totalitarian regime decides which movies can be shown, which singer can sing, which books can be published and which newspapers can be printed.

They also control the only means of effecting change within the system, by deciding who may or may not represent the voice of people, and disqualifying whomever they don't like. They can even remove sitting elected officials, simply by issuing a decree, as they recently did in the city of Yazd.

And when people come to protest all of this, they tell you with a serious face that you need to have the permission of thieves to protest their theft. The bitter irony...

Corruption and lawlessness is inherent to this regime. There is no reforming it. It is an ideological system meant to implement a particular islamist vision, at any cost. It was never meant to work for the benefit of the Iranian people. Ideas like the rule of law, accountability and transparency would be the end of them. Corruption, theft and abuse of power are natural by-products of this system...

Regardless of the regime negative flaws the remain the only good alternative for iran's unity and stability.

Iran will only change when the average Iranian stops stealing and cheating . The government you have is made up of Iranians not Martians .

Anyway the government's needs to stop wasting iran wealth over foreign adventures and it will surely help improve the situation internally for the people of Iran .

The fascist Persian opposition will make things worse for iran if they come to power .
 
Why because he kicked the puppet of the west out of iran?!
LOL that vermin was shipped into Iran by AIR FRANCE.

Iran in a nutshell

1 The economic misery have not been decreased

2 Corruption has spread under the ayatoilets.

4 The ayatoilets has produced fierce anti Shia clergy sentiments in their own country and lead many people to relinquish their faith.

5 Foreign policy which have produced a catastrophe and hundreds of thousands of muslim dead.

France and the west give asylum even for the likes of al Qaeda so what's your point they also supported saddam when he invaded iran

The only fascists i see is you and your fellow islamists, whether Shia or Sunni... You're just an ignorant person who hates out of fear... If you had the slightest insight into the Iranian ethos, culture and history, you would have known that Iran was originally created as a multi ethnic, multi confessional and a generally tolerant mindset from day one. Even Herodotus said as much way back, circa 400 BC.

There are many Arabs who have migrated to Iran over time and have made it their home. Many of whom that I know from personal connection, who have laid their lives on the line for the country, when in conflict with Arab countries. One of them is my Aunt's husband who had a life long career in the Iranian Navy, before and after the revolution.

But I have no interest in convincing you either way, as your opinion has no bearing on what decisions we make next. But you need to worry about your hateful and intolerant ways, as it will increasingly be called out and rejected across the muslim world...

This is the other corner of Iran.... as I said, it appears situation is breweing to the level of 2009 elections. Where Ahmedi Nejad was announced as President, while 95% of popular vote was for Mossuvi.

There was a good reason for that.

they forcefully put the crown on their Pahlavi puppet twice (1941, 1953) . He was a spent piece by 1979 with cancer. They could not save him a 3rd time.

The most powerful non-shahi forces in iran at the time were the islamists, and a distant second/third were probably Tudeh, And MEK. MEK and tudeh were both leftists, and team west was terrified of a iran geopolitically aligning with the USSR.

So that's why Khomeini was in france, surrounded 24/7 by western media who broadcast his messages to iran. they preferred the islamists to take power to the leftists..

and one must remember that the khomenei in exile was completely different then khomeni who had seized power in iran. He was not all that anti-western in exile. And even said he would not impose an Islamist sharia on iran.

my opinion is he changed after he got a full briefing of geopolitics, Western imperialism over iran and completely rejected that and embraced extreme independence and Islamism....

all things considered, given irans situation I will still take it over a puppet limp hand "king" (servant). The revolution for all its ups and downs unquestionably secured irans independence and dignitiy. You can partly thank your precious west and their greed/imperialism for this

The basij and other Shia militias will finish off these riots .

Feel free to totally rewrite the Wiki on this because it does not support your version at all.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company

There is no oil coming up from the ground without someone finding the oil.
Finding oil requires a lot of upfront investment, which was done by the British.
The British were awarded a contract by the Iranian government, which would give the Iranian government a share of the profits.
At that time Iran was obviously content with the agreement.
After the oil was found, Iran wanted to change the agreement.
This is how poor businessmen do business.

are you really this ignorant or just pretending to be?

can I come into your house, uninvited. Put a barrel of a gun to your head. And forcefully impose on you a "business deal" where by I extract all the resources off your land, And give you peanuts as compensation..

would you consider that a "business deal" So I guess the british must have been in "business deals" in india and the other half of the world they looted as well.. Are you serious? do you really not understand the difference? The power balance. they way the deals were imposed. The coercion and threats involved with it?

Any agreement imposed by coercion or threat are void internationally. Iran wasn't renegotiationg anything but trying to prevent british loot of Iranian national resources.
