    It began before the attacks on Iran

    Not true. Iranian people have been attacked by murderous US+EU sanctions killing tens of thousands of them every year for decades now. The protests were literally engineered by the US as a form of justification for the war, look at Iranian Rial exchange prices on the months before the protests. Hell, Trump literally admit a few days ago to sending weapons to the “protestors”.

      Sure, and Iran isn’t under a regime now, right? They shut down the internet because they didn’t like what was said over it.

      Iran’s government has done plenty to deserve those sanctions. War is wrong no matter which side does it, and Iran is very guilty.

        I wish you and your family never have to go through the “deserved sanctions” of the USA and EU, which together murder half a million people yearly since 1975 per latest medical research

          saddly nobody has found a better option. Iran has had particularly evil leaders for decades. (Why is interesting history itself - but not relavant to today)
