It's pro Iranian propaganda dude. Anything critical of Iran doesn't make it out of Iran. Im sorry for being the bearer of bad tidings, but a country that yells Death to other nations before breakfast, isn't going to have a nuclear weapon, not now, not ever. Give it up and the sanctions will disappear and prosperity will come. This was indeed an assassination, of someone making it possible for crazy people to kill millions of other people. No collateral damage, just the bomb maker and their henchmen. A good day for humanity no matter what this scientists race, religion or philosophy was. It'd be like handing a room of toddlers a box of razor blades and expecting them to be careful. Just to add, I'll bet the Saudis were hunky dory with this assassination.

There would probably be more cooperation if "death to America" wasn't said nearly every single day in Iran. However, I can understand their frustration. A lot of Americans are starting to realize that both Iran and Israel are fuc*ed up in their own way. Iran arguably the lesser of the two evils... However Iran can't go crushing Israel either, and Israel is a tiny nation compared to Iran, so Israel needs more help. They both need to coexist somehow, these proxy wars are getting old, to say the least. Just as Isralies need to coexist with Palestinians and stop fu*king bombing them and imprisoning them in open air prisons... Iran needs to coexist with Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

People are split on Vice. When it’s related to outside world and foreign wars that’s what they are know for and people like it as it’s not seen much. When it’s related to politics or movements people tend not to be so keen

The winning strategy is to just ignore any video about US domestic things or social issues. Their war coverage is always excellent.

When in doubt, ask yourself how it is that Iranians have been living in between the Caspian sea and the Persian gulf for thousands of years. The sun will turn into a black hole before you can take those lands away from them...

[@TheCpHaddock]

@Tracchofyre That's Macedonians, Arabs and Mongols. Never the Greeks nor Romans managed to take Persia. Romans and Persians fought a lot and they were both weak and that's why Arabs managed to conquer Persia.

[@rigorouselectronics8089]

@Tracchofyre okay.. we still speak Farsi, the country is intact with Iran as its core. Not to mention the sphere of influence that extends all of Mid East and parts of Asia. With its geographic location, OF COURSE it would get invaded from various sides. But the key is that no empire was able to make it collapse beyond its core...

[@general-soleimani-my-hero1815]

@Tracchofyre Greeks and Romans never conquered Iran. Mongols, Arabs and Macedonians did but where are they now? Where are Mongols today? Where are Greeks & Mecedonians? Romans? Arabs? Mongolia is nothing, and the rest also are all nothing but puppets of Zionists and their countries are nothing but military bases of Usa. but the great Iran ( after over 7000 years ) is still standing strong and as an 100% independent country. The United States will also fall but Iran will continue to stand strong.

The U.S. s an aging “tough guy” in a neighborhood wherein he used to boss around a number of younger hooligans, back in his heyday. Only now he’s older, weaker and not as intimidating as he once was, especially since the kids he used to bully have grown big and strong. Unless that old guy learns to react to these changing conditions, he’s very likely to end up in the trunk of his own car. If the U.S. doesn’t want to be run off the chess table by Iran it will have to borrow from Qatar’s playbook, and learn to approach ALL regional players as someone with something to offer. This spur-jangling cowboy nonsense has got to stop. As does the stranglehold AIPAC holds in D.C.
