The biggest threats to the world today, are those posed by israel and the usa. It’s time that this country realised this, and ceased all support for both. Normal, sane people do not want wars. They want a reasonable life without repression. The money saved from constant preparations for war would solve many problems both domestically and internationally. People around the world could work together to mitigate the climate crisis, to foster good relations with others, and to live in a positive environment for once. I am so incredibly tired of the endless aggression towards others, whether it’s against a minority group, racism or something else. People fear what they do not understand, so most effort should be made to stop propaganda of all sorts, and to educate people about other societies. Countries should be run for the benefit of their own populations. Any country that breaks International Law should instantly be shunned by all others - no trade, no contact - nothing.

I wholeheartedly agree - rampant capitalism, imperialism, racism (especially against Muslims) and deluded ideas of ethnic supremacy are collapsing our world.

Very useful to have this information. As an outsider, I hesitate to even voice an opinion. All I can say is that Tudeh should be aware of the age old trick of divide and rule. All the criticisms of the current economic hardhips are valid, but surely the source of that goes back to both US and Israeli interference. The imminent threat of bombing and invasion by the mafia boss in Washington and his henchmen in Tel Aviv is the real threat.

Legitimate protest , in part driven by Western economic sanctions designed to strangle Iranian economy and regime's ability to maintain stability on the street creating conditions ripe for exploitation in the interests of Israel /USA. It was clear that Israel/Mossad had penetrated deep into Iran's institutions much as it had Lebanon's Hezbollah . No doubts they are chucking fuel on unrest.

Competing interests . End to economic hardship , hyperinflation, devaluation of currency , affecting the poorest hardest , spilling over to middle income/professionals, all unable to see how current regime can change this reality. Alongside long held objective to restore Iran back into sphere of control by West. Compliant proxy for US interests overseen by US client, dominant military hegemon in region, State of Israel.

Lebanon is playing ball, Syria as well- daily bombings by Israel reminder , threat of Gaza-fication.

What awaits occupied Palestine beyond wet dream of ethnic cleansing - Somaliland ? ongoing genocide notwithstanding, has not been formalised into words. Overreach might be undoing . Unintended consequences.
