Haven't seen any thing here about the death of Mahsa Amini, a kurdish visitor to Iran who was arrested by the police for not wearing her Hijab properly. It has prompted demonstrations in Various Iranian cities.

Some brave women challenging that regime. I tip my hat to them. Iran has kicked off in protests before when there were fraudulent election results, but the regime seems to be unflushable. Will be interesting to see if this is different.
Not much chat on this topic:

Will the Iranian people finally be able to rid themselves of the repressive religious regime they have been suffering under since 1979?

No consideration for what it might be like to live under an Islamic regime. None whatsoever.
Have the CIA been giving out cookies in Iran?
As with Ukraine, the protestors have no agency, just poor dupes as usual, manipulated by the west

Predictable slaughter of brave protesting Iranians is now in full swing:

Q. What do you do when the enemy of your enemy, a brutal repressive theocratic dictatorship, starts to slaughter unarmed protesting civilians?
A. You ignore it and say nothing. (After all, your favourite X personality says the CIA is behind it all)

Something like that.
Thousands murdered by the mullahs in Iran and not a cheep from the board 'humanitarians'.
Not a word.

I've no time of autocratic and theocratic leaders so if the people of Iran want change then that's for them to decide.
The questions around CIA involvement and more to the point the Mossad who have openly admitted involvement is a concern as we've seen in both Syria and Libya where there are open mass shootings and reprisals on a daily basis post regime change and no democracy in sight.
Israel craves a weak Iran so if the Ayatollah does topple they will bomb the shít out of the place just like they did in Syria and no one will give two shiny shítes for the ordinary Iranians getting bombed to death like they didn't care one jot for them when the US was bombing Iran at the behest of Israel last year.
Who now for regime change? The Saudis? The Emiratis'? Egypt?

That's the way it's going. The Iranian people absolutely deserve to be free of the current leadership, but if history is anything to go by they'll end up in a worse position.

They also removed the US backed Shah for the very same reasons and ended up with the Ayatollah's.
What they don't need is US freedom and democracy like the Syrians are now experiencing.
Let's not kid ourselves, the US via the CIA and the Mossad won't accept any government in that region unless they support their will, democracy is nothing but a smokescreen.
This has nothing to do with the wishes of the Iranian people.

This is all rinse and repeat middle east problems, has been going on for centuries, one group come in they are ousted and another take over they are ousted and so on, stick that to nearly every country in the middle east and Africa

And you have no thought or concerns for them or their lives, it's all just CIA, Mossad, great power games for you and those like you.
Are you saying Mossad aren't involved?
Does the involvement of Mossad delegitimise the Iranian protests? Are they giving out cookies to the protestors?
Is Iran involved in Palestinian affairs? Does their involvement delegitimise the struggle of the Palestinain people?
So Israel and Mossad are involved in these uprisings, thanks for confirming.
What is Israel and Mossad doing with regard to these protests? Have they instigated them? If so, how and in what way?
Does the involvement of Mossad delegitimise the millions of protesting Iranians? How have Mossad made millions of Iranians rise up?
And again, Is Iran involved in Palestinian affairs? Does their involvement delegitimise the struggle of the Palestinian people?
Of course not and I'd love to see where anyone says that it does.
The point is that the US and Israel don't give one f**k about the people and will likely land them in a worse situation, like they've done multiple times in the past.

You seem so concerned about Iranians that you think they should accept their lot, that about right? Not something you'd accept yourself though is it.

Your mate is Syria has done a fair bit of slaughtering since he came to power (how?) and has let Israel do what it wants in the Golan Heights. A leopard doesn't change his spots.
Greater Israel here we come.

So, you're supportive of the protests in Iran and hope that the brutal dictatorship of the Mullah regime is toppled, is that what I'm hearing from you?

I don't think it was just Israel who lied about beheaded babies. Don't forget Biden and Trump both lied and claimed they saw footage of babies being beheaded, but that's besides the point. Safe to say that he's using satire to draw attention to the fact that western government's pronouncement of what is happening in the middle east is not always to be trusted. Is Tadhg the only political satirist who should not be allowed to use satire? Or should all comedians/satiriest stop using comedy/satire?

Tadhg can lounge about in the gutter while the blood is on the streets in Tehran all he likes with his 'satire'. Are there others there with him? I'm sure there are.
So he doesn't believe 'western government's pronouncements'. Fine. Is he in denial that the Iranian regime has murdered protesters? Are you?

No. But it leads to two conclusions.

The questions around CIA involvement and more to the point the Mossad who have openly admitted involvement is a concern as we've seen in both Syria and Libya where there are open mass shootings and reprisals on a daily basis post regime change and no democracy in sight.
Israel craves a weak Iran so if the Ayatollah does topple they will bomb the shít out of the place just like they did in Syria and no one will give two shiny shítes for the ordinary Iranians getting bombed to death like they didn't care one jot for them when the US was bombing Iran at the behest of Israel last year.
Who now for regime change? The Saudis? The Emiratis'? Egypt?
Nice that millions of 'the people of Iran' got a short cameo role at the start there.
As usual, they don't count, it's all about Israel, the US, the West.
It is when the main actors in this region are "Israel, the US, the West".
Just look at Libya and Syria in particular.
Is that what the Iranian people want there as well? Will they get a say?
Iran is a 'main actor' in the region as well.
Don't you think it's odd that millions of people are protesting and being brutally murdered by a horrific regime and it's barely a consideration for you?
They also removed the US backed Shah for the very same reasons and ended up with the Ayatollah's.
What they don't need is US freedom and democracy like the Syrians are now experiencing.
Let's not kid ourselves, the US via the CIA and the Mossad won't accept any government in that region unless they support their will, democracy is nothing but a smokescreen.
This has nothing to do with the wishes of the Iranian people.
Yet there they are, on the streets.
And you have no thought or concerns for them or their lives, it's all just CIA, Mossad, great power games for you and those like you.
Are you saying Mossad aren't involved?
Does the involvement of Mossad delegitimise the Iranian protests? Are they giving out cookies to the protestors?
Is Iran involved in Palestinian affairs? Does their involvement delegitimise the struggle of the Palestinain people?
No. But it leads to two conclusions.
1. The movement isn't as organic as claimed, it is being directed externally to some extent.
2. This isn't about the Iranian people.
Tell me all about 1. Tell me everything you know.
What information you have about Mossad activities.
In what way they are directing and manipulating the protests.
What conclusions you have reached with regard to all of the above.
As for 2, it definitely isn't about the Iranian people for you lot. They are scarcely a second thought with your obsession with Israel and the US.
For the Iranian people, i.e. those protesting and dying, it's all about the Iranian people, their lives, their families.
Tadhg, Snapchat, Jonnycool, Baile Brigin.. couldn't give a shit about them.
Unworthy victims.
Quote from: Banks of the Bann on January 14, 2026, 03:25:06 PMTadhg can lounge about in the gutter while the blood is on the streets in Tehran all he likes with his 'satire'. Are there others there with him? I'm sure there are.
So...are political satirists back allowed to use satire again to make their points? Is your short-lived ban over?
Quote from: Banks of the Bann on January 14, 2026, 03:25:06 PMSo he doesn't believe 'western government's pronouncements'. Fine. Is he in denial that the Iranian regime has murdered protesters? Are you?
Haven't seen any such denial from him or me. I've seen him use satire to challenge the accounts given by the people/states/media outlets who tried/are still trying to claim that Palestians beheaded Isreali babies on Oct 7th.
When the people who deliberatly lied about beheaded babies start claiming once again to have the "facts" about what is happening in the middle east, wouldn't it be sheer daft to take them blindly at their word?

I said he was deranged and I meant it. Nothing I can do to stop him or others with their disgusting tweets. Call it satire all you like, it's mocking the Iranian dead.
If he doesn't believe the accounts of some regarding what is happening in Iran, whatever, but how many Iranian deaths are acceptable to Tadhg? 1000, 2000, 10000? At what stage does his 'satire' not work any more?
He is a one-eyed cretin. No better than any flag waving Zionist. Just on the other side. No different.
The Iranian 'babes' tweet, seriously f**king deranged.

Israel decided decades ago that Iran is their main enemy and the regime needs to go. To the surprise of nobody they have been involved in a low intensity and proxy conflict. We know Mpssad are active in Tehran.
Now they have the Americans onside, or perceive they do. They want Iran weak, don't insult our intelligence that this is about the people. It's domestic Israeli politics allowing for Netanyahu's permanent wars.
I have no time for the Iranian regieme, but I see bad news written all over a coup. We have been here before.

If you were all honest with yourselves....you know Iranians suffer under the Mullahs, but you don't care because Iran is an enemy of Israel. The blind eye is turned. Lip service is paid to how evil the Mullahs are, but the big bad BUT is never far behind.

Some of us care enough about the Iranian people to know that as long as they and they only get to decide their future then that's fine, but we all know that will never be the case.

You are creating strawman arguments. I, and I suspect every poster here, wouldn't shed a tear if the Ayatollah fell. A brutal, failing regime.
But. And this is a legitimate but. If the Yanks and Israelis are pulling strings, and they admit they are, it will be a disaster. I shudder at the notion of the CIA having a plan for somewhere.
Lets use our hindsight. Saddam was also a tyrant who brutalised his people. Knocking him off was the catalyst for a decade of regional carnage. Iran is potentially even worse - that regime has more popular support and is bedded in religious ideology.

Oh I get the point he is trying very hard indeed to make. My point is, he is doing it while innocent Iranian protestors are being murdered in their thousands. Utterly tasteless and in his pathetic attempts at satire he is mocking the dead.
And it is a mockery of the dead because there are many thousands dead, maybe not 5 billion dead, like ho-ho-ho-ho Tadhg so cleverly satirises, but for him they don't matter. Unworthy victims.
Because for him, like you, the Iranian mullah regime is an enemy of Israel and that's the bottom line.
He is no better than a flag waving Zionist. Just the mirror image of that which he professes to hate.

The questions around CIA involvement and more to the point the Mossad who have openly admitted involvement is a concern as we've seen in both Syria and Libya where there are open mass shootings and reprisals on a daily basis post regime change and no democracy in sight.
Israel craves a weak Iran so if the Ayatollah does topple they will bomb the shít out of the place just like they did in Syria and no one will give two shiny shítes for the ordinary Iranians getting bombed to death like they didn't care one jot for them when the US was bombing Iran at the behest of Israel last year.
Who now for regime change? The Saudis? The Emiratis'? Egypt?
Nice that millions of 'the people of Iran' got a short cameo role at the start there.
As usual, they don't count, it's all about Israel, the US, the West.
It is when the main actors in this region are "Israel, the US, the West".
Just look at Libya and Syria in particular.
Is that what the Iranian people want there as well? Will they get a say?
Iran is a 'main actor' in the region as well.
Don't you think it's odd that millions of people are protesting and being brutally murdered by a horrific regime and it's barely a consideration for you?
They also removed the US backed Shah for the very same reasons and ended up with the Ayatollah's.
What they don't need is US freedom and democracy like the Syrians are now experiencing.
Let's not kid ourselves, the US via the CIA and the Mossad won't accept any government in that region unless they support their will, democracy is nothing but a smokescreen.
This has nothing to do with the wishes of the Iranian people.
Yet there they are, on the streets.
And you have no thought or concerns for them or their lives, it's all just CIA, Mossad, great power games for you and those like you.
Are you saying Mossad aren't involved?
Does the involvement of Mossad delegitimise the Iranian protests? Are they giving out cookies to the protestors?
Is Iran involved in Palestinian affairs? Does their involvement delegitimise the struggle of the Palestinain people?
No. But it leads to two conclusions.
1. The movement isn't as organic as claimed, it is being directed externally to some extent.
2. This isn't about the Iranian people.
Tell me all about 1. Tell me everything you know.
What information you have about Mossad activities.
In what way they are directing and manipulating the protests.
What conclusions you have reached with regard to all of the above.
As for 2, it definitely isn't about the Iranian people for you lot. They are scarcely a second thought with your obsession with Israel and the US.
For the Iranian people, i.e. those protesting and dying, it's all about the Iranian people, their lives, their families.
Tadhg, Snapchat, Jonnycool, Baile Brigin.. couldn't give a shit about them.
Unworthy victims.

Standard CIA Mossad playbook.
Some of us care enough about the Iranian people to know that as long as they and they only get to decide their future then that's fine, but we all know that will never be the case.
Jeffrey f**king Sachs, seriously. This is the guy that claims he walked around Maidan with a CIA officer who pointed out he gave 10 grand to this person here and 20 grand to that person there. Rightly called a liar to his face recently by an Italian MP during a debate.
'Push people into the streets' - Millions of them. Yeah no bother Jeffrey. Just denying Iranian people any agency. Same old story.
Jonny, you and others on here don't give a hoot about the Iranian people. That's why they're never so much as mentioned before CIA, Mossad enter the chat.
The Mullah regime is an enemy of Israel, that is the bottom line.

Hold up.
Israel decided decades ago that Iran is their main enemy and the regime needs to go. To the surprise of nobody they have been involved in a low intensity and proxy conflict. We know Mpssad are active in Tehran.
Now they have the Americans onside, or perceive they do. They want Iran weak, don't insult our intelligence that this is about the people. It's domestic Israeli politics allowing for Netanyahu's permanent wars.
I have no time for the Iranian regieme, but I see bad news written all over a coup. We have been here before.
Iran and Israel are enemies and they are both dedicated to the downfall of each other.
In what way have the mass protests of ordinary civilians in Iran been orchestrated and/or controlled by Mossad? Do you have any details or do you just 'know'?
No one ever accused Israel or the US of giving a shit about the people of Iran btw.
But you're in complete denial of the agency or the Iranian people. Why is it anyone who opposes a regime under which they suffer automatically a dupe in the eyes of the left in the west?
If you were all honest with yourselves....you know Iranians suffer under the Mullahs, but you don't care because Iran is an enemy of Israel. The blind eye is turned. Lip service is paid to how evil the Mullahs are, but the big bad BUT is never far behind.
You are creating strawman arguments. I, and I suspect every poster here, wouldn't shed a tear if the Ayatollah fell. A brutal, failing regime.
But. And this is a legitimate but. If the Yanks and Israelis are pulling strings, and they admit they are, it will be a disaster. I shudder at the notion of the CIA having a plan for somewhere.
Lets use our hindsight. Saddam was also a tyrant who brutalised his people. Knocking him off was the catalyst for a decade of regional carnage. Iran is potentially even worse - that regime has more popular support and is bedded in religious ideology.
What hindsight are you talking about? I must have missed the millions of protesting Iraqis trying to overthrow Saddam Hussein. It was a straight up invasion based on trumped up lies.
How hard is it to reply to a post without posting the previous half page. Dont be so lazy!

We were told the Iraqis wanted him gone and would treat the Yanks as liberators.
We are falling for the same bullshit twice in a generation
Quote from: Banks of the Bann on January 14, 2026, 05:12:37 PMOh I get the point he is trying very hard indeed to make. My point is, he is doing it while innocent Iranian protestors are being murdered in their thousands. Utterly tasteless and in his pathetic attempts at satire he is mocking the dead.
Political satire is always the most potent at a time of conflict. The Iraq invasion involved around 1 millions dead, and TV shows like Bremnar, Bird & Fortune thrived on the satire.
Quote from: Banks of the Bann on January 14, 2026, 05:12:37 PMAnd it is a mockery of the dead because there are many thousands dead, maybe not 5 billion dead, like ho-ho-ho-ho Tadhg so cleverly satirises, but for him they don't matter. Unworthy victims.
Funny how you are happy to refute a deliberately satirical death toll by a comedian as though it was serious, but have no comment on the serious claims of the death toll by the Western governments/media. Do you believe their estimates? Would you agree that they are perhaps not all that trustworthy in reporting events in the middle east? (Sorry to have to repeat that last question, but you seem coy about answering it).
Quote from: Banks of the Bann on January 14, 2026, 05:12:37 PMBecause for him, like you, the Iranian mullah regime is an enemy of Israel and that's the bottom line.
He is no better than a flag waving Zionist. Just the mirror image of that which he professes to hate.
I don't like Israeli regime, so therefor I like the Iranian regime? What a binary world you live in. If it weren't for straw man arguments, you'd have precisely nothing to offer. And as for you labelling of Tadhg/myself, I wonder what label can be stuck on someone like you who tried so valiently to derail, interrupt and distract any discussion about the indiscriminate slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Gazans on the thread about that genocide?
A few things:
1. Bremner, Bird and Fortune managed to do satire without openly rooting for a regime at that exact time slaughtering protestors on the streets. Tadhg reposts the below:
https://x.com/stanleycohenlaw/status/2011200306131140985?s=46
And his support for Iran is exactly why Tadhg's so called 'satire', designed to downplay the violence of the Iranian regime, makes a mockery of the dead.
2. Can you provide a rationale behind his demented 'Iranian babes' skit?
3. Here is Tadhg again, voicing his delight that the protests have been squashed, characterising the protests as 'violent'. Doing the dirty work of the regime.
https://x.com/tadhghickey/status/2011932582959522283?s=46
Are all the protests 'violent'? Does some violence delegitimise all protests? Does meeting state violence with violence delegitimise all protests? Tadhg neglects to say.
4. Has Tadhg ever expressed explicit criticism of the Iranian regime?
5. What are you blethering about re. My comments on Gaza?
Don't know much about that Hickey lad but I saw him on YouTube debating with Jamie Bryson on a United Ireland and he was next to useless, he just let Jamie talk his usual shite and rarely challenged his nonsense
FFS I'm not here to speak on behalf of Tadhg Hickey. I'm merely (repeatedly) pointing out the blindingly obvious meaning behind his satirical tweets on the death toll - i.e. that the people reporting it are the same people who insisted they saw video evidence of babies being beheaded. I.e. by lying b*****ds. I've asked you I don't know how many times, but sure what the heck, I'll ask again: Would you agree that those in US/UK governments and media outlets reporting on the death toll in Iran are perhaps not all that trustworthy in reporting events in the middle east, given the lies they knowingly spouted in order to allow the wholesale slaughter of tens of thousands of Gazans?
P.s. ref you and Gaza...my point was that you persistently attempted to hijack the Gaza genocide thread to talk about Russia and Ukraine. You accused me of not caring about Iranian civilians, but when people on this board tried to talk about the wholesale slaughter of 70,000 palestinians, you repeatedly tried to deflect from the topic.
