@blamellors@mstdn.party This is a fascinating and difficult question. Who bears the responsibility for the victims of a war? Was Saddam "your" man or that of the USSR? Was Stalin "your" man just bc the US and UK aided him militarily? The Iranian regime didn't start, but it eagerly used the war to consolidate their recently gained power. They used it to persecute kurds, marxists (People's Mojahedin) and minorities.
