    I have no love for the Iranian religious nutjob leaders, but Iran appears to be firing back only at countries that have attacked them. They have only matched the escalation of those attacking them. That they could have targeted Europe before but did not only emphasizes this point. By rights, thay could fire missiles directly into mainland USA to match what the USA is doing to them. They are actually being the sane ones here.

      Maybe the Iranian religious nutjob leaders were never nearly as nutty as Western states and Western media made them out to be.

          I have no love for the religious nut jobs in Israel, or the U.S., for that matter. Right now it certainly seems like the U.S. and Israeli leaders are considerably nuttier.

              The Iranian government is capitalist? Yes for sure for the U.S., but the religious angle gives them some cover and drives some of them.

                You need to be more accurate about what role Iran plays in capitalism, which is a world system formed by colonialism via the consumption of tributary modes of production in humanity’s foremost centers of civilizational development prior to the emergence of capitalism from Europe: China, West Asia, & the Asian subcontinent (India). By resisting colonialism, Iran is corroding not just the basis of the US financial system but the underpinnings of capitalism itself. More nations need to stand up, & people must reject the eurocentric premises of the western-dominated intellectual apparatus, which frames what could be called backwards qualities of nations deprived of their own work as innate cultural qualities of regions + their ethnic makeup. Stop listening to the #lyingfakenewsmedia, we don’t worship the Iranians or their ideology, we study how their way of thinking is changing. 95% WOMEN CHEMISTS. A famous reactionary incel (redundant) Iranian (by Twitter standards) once lost his mind & complained women actually control Iran’s government because his law school was just full of them. Soon he will be right god willing. Don’t ask what I think god is. He told me to keep it a secret. Ad astra per aspergers
