If Iranian leaders blame everything wrong on the west it's because the U.S. openly budgets hundreds of millions of dollars for the overthrow of the Iranian government so you can't claim they are being paranoid!
So yes the least Iran's government can do in response to that is to blame the west for all it's problems even when it's BS!
Fair enough against US.
But unfair against the Iranian People.
How can you expect Iran to implement Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Press, Assembly,.... when the U.S. openly has a yearly budget of hundreds of millions of dollars to overthrow Iran's government. No government would implement a policy that would aid a foreign actor in it's own overthrow. It's absurd and most Iranians are smart enough to see that! At the end of the day the MAIN country responsible for the lack of most freedoms in Iran is the U.S. and NOT IRANIAN LEADERS!
As long as U.S. hostilities towards Iran persists the vast majority of Iranian will blame the U.S. for not only economic problems but also lack of various freedoms.
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right which could not be confiscated.
Islamists want this same freedom of expression for themselves in name of "Tableegh", even for exporting their Islamic Revolution to the neighbouring countries.
So, if US uses couple of millions, then Irani government also uses couple of billions in Media, which gives it almost 100% monopoly, while there is NO voice for the Iranian people who differ with Islamic regime and Wilayat-e-Faqih.
I am not saying that banning of Social Media is wrong during roits etc. , but I am asking for the right of Expression of those Iranian people in normal situations, who differ with Islamic State and want to criticize it and want to do "Tableegh" of their views. But in Iran, there exists no such mechanism. Islamists have made criticism of Wilayat-e-Faqih or Islam as a crime and they prison or kill the person for this crime.
But at the same time Islamists present their Prophet Muhammad as a MAZLOOM person who although not killed by the Kuffar of Mecca, but they tried to snatch his right to Preach his views. Nevertheless, what Islamists do today with the opposing views, it is many times worst and more tyranny than what Kuffar of Mecca did.
The bitter and only truth is, even if there was no US interference, still the nature of an Islamic Republic is this that it never gives right of freedom of expression to those people who want to criticize Islamic System and State.
As for what type of government Iran has:
Iran is an "Islamic Republic" that makes it a Theocratic Republic which means it is a Republic confined by Islamic Law!
god didn't make Iran and "Islamist Republic", but it were the people of Iran who made it in the first place. And these same people should have the right to reverse this decision if they feel it was a wrong decision and does not serve them. Snatching away of this right of the Iranian people in name of Islam is tyranny.
Republic means majority rules but that doesn't necessarily make it democratic! The Republic part of Iran's government falls under the regular government with elected officials picked by the people and they govern like any other Republic with the exception that the policies they make has to fall in line within the boundaries of Islamic law set by Iran's Supreme Leader.
When Islamic part was introduced through "Democracy" i.e. through the votes of the Iranian people, then it is only fair that these same people should have the right to dispose off this system if them want.
Why to cling to the powers even if majority of Iranians show their will against this system?
The theocratic part of Iran's government falls under the Supreme Leader whos job it is to set limits and makes sure the policies the government makes falls within the boundaries of Islamic Law within historical context. Also, because war is a life and death decision Iran's armed forces also fall under the command of Iran's supreme leader.
Some what same arguments are also presented by the Socialist Party of China, and communist party of Russia who banned Islamic laws even if the majority of people of those states were Muslims. At that time Islamists protest against it, and call it "Dictatorship", but when they do exactly the same thing then every thing becomes Halal.
Now after Iran's supreme leader passes or retires his position doesn't get passed on to his son just as when Iran's 1st supreme leader passed the government didn't get passed on to his son.
Yes, communist and socialist parties also boasts the same thing that there is no succession in their system etc. But this does not make and difference. They stay as Dictatorship.
Same is with Islamic Republic. It's very basic nature makes it only "Islamic Dictatorship" where they will impose their Islamic System even if the majority of people don't want this system, and they don't give the right to people to criticize Islam or the Islamic state, even if there is no US present there who interferes.
Do all minorities have rights? NO. Only minorities that fall within Iran's version of Islamic law have rights for example Jewish, Christian & Zoroastrian Iranians have the right to assemble, have an elected rep & can practice their own religion freely and have their own temple and churches BUT atheists, agnostics, Satanist,... DO NOT!
And why should the Atheists and other minorities should not have the right to exist in Islamic State and do Tableegh of their views to others?
Why Islamic god is so unjust that it wanted this right of freedom of expression for his messenger in Mecca, and also want this same right of Tableegh of Islam in Kafir Hindustan today, but don't want to give this right to them in his Islamic States?
god of Islamists want this right of Tableegh and practicing Islam in Kaffir Buddhist land of BURMA today, in kaffir buddhist land of China, Japan, Sri Lanka, actually all over the world, but denies other this right completely?
Today Islamists deceive the whole world by telling: "Their is NO compulsion in the Religion". But they don't tell the world that according to their own Ulama this verse has been abrogated later in 9th Hijri when Islam became strong and verses of Qatal was revealed which order to kill all the Kuffar after 4 months, except this that they convert to Islam under the force of sword.
Islamists deceive the world and don't tell the real teachings of Islam that Jizyya (tax) is only for the people of Book (i.e. Jews and Christians and Zoroastrians), while all other non believers have to be Killed (except that they convert to Islam).
Yes, the real ruling about Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists is not this that they are not allowed to practice their beliefs, but actual ruling is about killing them, except for they convert to Islam.
Surely Muslim states were not able to do it later as it was totally against humanity. Therefore Abu Hanifa gave fatwa that killing of Kuffar was only limited to the time of Prophet Muhammad and it is not for present Caliph to kill all the Kuffar. Thus Hindus and Yazidies and other minorities were able to save their life after this fatwa of Abu Hanifa.
Nevertheless, all Islamists are unanimous that Prophet killed all the Kuffar or forced them to convert to Islam during his life time. Thus we see Christians and even Jews in Arab, but we see absolutely no Kuffar today in Arabia.
