Yes, Bessent was just bragging about this in Davos. These aren't international sanctions, they're not approved by the UN. These are unilateral sanctions by the Burger Reich and their vassals used as a form of siege warfare against Iran. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/treasurys-bessent-says-iran-facing-precarious-moment-economy-trouble-2026-01-08/

US pulling color revolution shit again. There are legitimate grievances of the public but they are being steered by the west to topple the government for the purposes of western interests. Same shit with kidnapping Maduro. Look what just happened there, now the government is signing deals to privatize their oil.

Sanctions crippled the Iranian economy. Ordinary people initially took to the streets to protest these conditions. Later, rioters backed by Israel, by Israeli admission, joined in, escalating the situation toward civil conflict and attacking mosques even when people including kids are inside and police officers. The Iranian autocratic regime then used these events as justification to suppress all protests indiscriminately. Violence occurred on both sides, and it difficult to find fully trustworthy sources on the situation

It's connected to many different things, but mainly it's drought. They really don't have water, very close to a country-ending disaster. All other stuff are putting pressure on their ability to gain water from outside sources. And without water, a lot of industries can't function, hence a spiralling free fall towards collapse. Water is the new oil. Time to stock up!

I don't know, but what I **can **tell you is that I have noticed that there had been an awful lot of Iranian in European media in Europe flying pro-monarchy flags and by awful lot, I mean all protests in at least four Western countries outside of Iran, and that it's presented by EU media as normal or semi-normal when it should not be. We live in the 21st century, not the middle ages or renaissance times. Then, there's 'the Iranian flag replacement on X' by Elon Musk. I guess he likes seeing the return of monarchies too.

Because Iran is the biggest threat to israel and the US interests in the middle east, so the claims are that the mossad are instigating, escalating, and inciting violence in the streets to topple the current regime in order to put a zionist puppet in the government, just like they have in all the arab countries, the latest example is the newly appointed Syrian president who was a wanted extremist terrorist by the same government that appointed him. Can you guess which government? This is just a brief explanation, you can do your further research.

https://nitter.net/mikepompeo/status/2007180411638620659 It's so obviously and unashamedly driven by the empire, so why do you give the empire's news reporting any weight at all?

You should probably ask the people from Iran. That is.. if they can reply. Looking forward to my own local communication disruption myself given how prone people are to copy others. Me too thanks. Back to stealing our memes.

So your only reason to support one or another party is getting laid?
