[@gadaboutunited]

I thought the Soviets were a quick seconds. Didn't Iran vote against partition on November 29 1947. TBF though, those are just secondary, Iran before 1979 was an asset to the ME, not a force that split the Arabs and brought terror to Israel. If the Shah hadn't been so brutal and was more of a reformist, then he would've kept his throne. Out of all Muslim-majority countries, the Iranians are far more likely to accept democracy. They had it until the CIA undermined it and they got the Shah. All the best to Iran.

as someone who was in Iran during the Iranian revolution I can tell you that the shah was never as repressive as this regime. in the last 12 months the press was completely free to print whatever it wanted. the secret police was officially disbanded and dissolved 2 months before the regime collapsed. all political prisoners (who were essentially terrorists) were released en masse. khoemini arrived in Tehran while shah's govt was still in power and even gave Khomeini a military helicopter to take him to his residence. the shah did everything wrong and the govt fell. khamenei is a very shrewd student of history. he won't make the same mistakes. in the last 2 years over 130,000 people have been arrested and hundreds have been officially executed. I hope I'm wrong, but this regime won't fall as easily as sec straw thinks or wishes.

Furthermore, Islam, as is the case with all other religions and ideologies, has conflicting and contradictory positions regarding tolerance of other viewpoints. Perhaps we are living in an age of extremism.

The theocracy in Iran have over 20,000 people who can fill the leaders position. The revolutionary guard have only one real function which is to ensure the continuation of the theocracy. In addition the army will be used against the people and it is over a million strong. Iran itself is an impregnable mountain fortress immune to invasion without huge casualties. An attack by Israel and/or the USA will never set the people free to from the theocracy. It could only hope to degrade the economy of Iran and hence reduce the capacity of the state to fund its interests ouside of Iran. A useful target would be Karg Island which accounts for 80% of the Iranian economy and is extraordinarily vulnerable. Iran's contribution to the world's oil supply accounts for approximately 2% and although oil prices would spike, this would only be short lived in the order of months, yet currently the US administration will not consent to this as it will affect the elections. I suspect that Israel will nonetheless attack Iranian oil and then ask forgiveness of the US. Just my 2¢.

@@RobertJonesWightpaint I disagree, rather... after Blair opened the doors *_More Came In_* as he kept his promise to _'rub our noses in diversity''._ Am I saying these things because I'm _'a racist or White Supremest?,_ not in the slightest, but because of the negative effects bringing in millions has had on society and more, the troubles that shall certainly follow. If he wished, Jack could probably throw some light on the subject, and help us understand exactly what drove it and the mindset that drove Blair... it would be interesting to know, but I doubt we ever shall..

All said by Jack is wishful thinking. The last million gathering in Tehran in support of leader shows a deep support of the government by majority of Iranian nation. Jack is way off.

Over 90% of Iranians wants the return of Kingdom to Iran; anyone who look at the history can see that Iran was advancing in the the world with prosperity, peace freedom and wisdom during the Pahlavi’s dynasty. Now Reza Cyrus Pahlavi is the only person who can bring peace into the Middle East 🔥✝️🔥

[@motaharjafarian5805]

Liar! Your 90% stat is not even close to reality. People want democracy not another theocracy, wether good or evil, wether mullahs or shahs. Where did you get that 90% though?

I disagree with 'forward defense' conceit Mr Straw offers with respect to Iran's support of HZB, Hamas, and the other Levantine militants. Israel simply isn't a threat to the survival of Iran or the its government. Support of the groups, with the exception of Hamas, is all about projecting power against the Suni Muslim states.

Mr Jack Straw we iranian want our prince and our Queen Shahbanoo back to have a democratic country with freedom like before. All Iranian now realised which countries were behind our Shah to be over thrown. All Iranian are aware that Iran was occupied by two countries in 1920 due to our oil and gas resources we have. Khomeini was supported financially by France and mojahedin were supported by George Soros. We Iranian have demanded constantly not to supported the mullahs in Iran but sadly British Government have always supported and given advise to Governmebt in Iran. So Iran will not be in a mess as long as Britain and USA don’t make decision for Iran who is going to be a leader like what you did for Afghanestan. Our prince will be back as king exactly like King Charles in this country. It is about time that human right get on top priority in the whole world rather than a few strong countries make decisions for other countries.

[@emilbordon1329]

A 'regime' and an 'oligarchy' are distinct yet sometimes overlapping political concepts. A regime refers to the rules and norms by which a government operates; it encompasses the institutions, laws, and procedures through which a state exercises power. Regimes can be democratic, authoritarian, or somewhere in between. An oligarchy, on the other hand, specifically denotes a form of government where power resides in the hands of a small group of people-often the wealthy, the privileged, or the influential. While an oligarchy is a type of regime, not all regimes are oligarchies. In essence, a regime is the broader framework of governance, whereas an oligarchy is a particular mode within that framework, characterized by the concentration of power among a select few.

True, his one sided talk has many inhumane elements. They will say or do anything in the name of their so-called national interests. We are humans first then citizens of any country. This thread seems to be full of one-sided hateful biases. Both sides have committed inhumane crimes. Please join the global civil resistance against the hideous language of power and get involved. Only the names of the monsters seem to be changing; the rest is intrinsically the same. The International Criminal Court isn't just an institution or an edifice. It's hope. It's a simmering revolutionary movement which will eventually bring impunity to an end. For the first time in the history of this planet, the language of power is in the process of being challenged at a 'global' level. This means there will be no impunity for the ruling establishments of 'any' country. Patriotic people who directly or indirectly defend the crimes committed by the rulers of their beloved nations, will have no rational defence. State propaganda which plays the primary role in giving birth to such inhumane support will also become obsolete. There will be only one major common 'pro-humanity' notion, and it will be about enforcing the rule of law in its true essence. Let's put an end to impunity. Let's outlaw state propaganda.
