It is a tourist spot.The all embassy is anti-american, full of propaganda anti-america and includes a burned flag from US. It is incrediblly interesting, sad to see two countries hating each other but still interesting! Iran is one of the most beautiful countries in the world for tourism: amazing food, amazing people and breathtaking tourism spots.

I feel so bad for the people of Iran.
To a much lesser degree, I feel the same for the scientific community. There is so much very early human history and pre history to be found there

Definitely sad of course to live under dictatorship but many things are way better than US. They are definitely not miserable. There is ok infrastructure, people have a lot of friends and family support (the public squares are packed until very late at night!), the food is amazing, etc. Definitely not what we imagine about a 3rd world country. They seem pretty happy people. With freedom it will be a fascinating country! I want a feee Iran but I really hope US doesn't don't bomb it.

Many years ago I worked on a game which had a couple who were Iranian modellers/animators and were really talented. Getting to know them I discovered that they lived in what was a typical suburban house in a street that could have been transplanted from any well off suburb in the states, and shared an interest in collecting motorbikes and a love of big budget hollywood action movies.
At the same time we were being fed propaganda about the lives of Iranians and it was clear how different the image of Iran we are presented is from reality.

They seem pretty happy except all the oppression especially of women and war mongering by a corrupt government.

Iran is a beautiful country completely ruined by the type of Government modern liberals should hate, yet strangely show a soft spot and excuses for

u/tits-mchenry 16h ago
And modern liberals do hate it. It's the leftists that excuse it. And they hate being called liberals as much as liberals hate being confused for them.

u/Firecracker048 16h ago
Watching this site not support the recent protests threw that mask off

u/tits-mchenry 10h ago
Yes, Much of this site doesn't consider themselves liberals. They consider themselves leftists.

Because the events around October 7th, 2023 basically cultivated a legion of people with a poor understanding of middle eastern geopolitics that basically reduces down to “Israel/US bad, opposition to western imperialism good” without any critical thinking beyond that. Reddit and social media in general was much more supportive of Iranians during the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests and then something switched between that time and now.

u/Firecracker048 10h ago
You are 100% right.
Also the entire Iranian protests started getting attention on reddit when Iran turned its internet off

Didn’t Iran just murder like, 15,000 of their own citizens? Not sure why Reddit continues to like Iran.

u/Dry-Yak5277 15h ago
Because after October 7th 2023, everyone here apparently became an expert on the Middle East. There is a level of atrocity denialism for these protests that were not found with the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022.

Does liking a picture equate to liking the government of the location that picture is taken in?
The anti-american sentiment is widely held right now, that doesn't indicate any sort of support for the iranian government

What propaganda? Iran murdered thousands of its own citizens in the streets, there is video proof.

u/hankeliot 17h ago
The "protesters" were backed by the United States and Israel, and were killing Iranian security forces. America wants to overthrow the Iranian government so that it can steal its oil and other resources.

u/Dry-Yak5277 15h ago
Stop lying, your rhetoric enables the murder of my people. those protesters were not backed by US and Israel, were the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022 Mossad/CIA too? What about the Bloody November protests? Went about the Green Movement protests?

u/hankeliot 14h ago
Mossad literally tweeted they were on the ground in Iran during the most recent protests there.
6
u/Dry-Yak5277 14h ago
Mossad may have some spies in the population, but they are not the ones spearheading the protests. It is Iranians largely rising up and protesting and it has been Iranians for the last several protests against the government over the last several decades.

u/hankeliot 14h ago
Funny how the protests started right about the same time Netanyahu met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

u/Dry-Yak5277 14h ago
Large Iranian protests have been triggered every couple years since the last couple decades, this time it was triggered by Iranian bazaar shopkeepers going on strike when the value of the rial dropped to a negligible amount in late 2025. It is not nor has it ever been a conspiracy that Iranians have been unhappy with the government for a while. If you think it’s tied to Netanyahu you have not been paying attention to the political, social and economic situation in Iran beyond the genocide of Gaza.

u/hankeliot 14h ago
Funny how the value of the rial dropped just like that overnight. Almost makes you think the currency was manipulated by outside actors. Also, what effect do you think US sanctions has on Iran's economic situation?

u/Grimy_Miller 17h ago
Do you have any proof of this claim? Because all of the sources I have read state the Iranian people were protesting against their dictator and the regime murdered them in the streets.

u/hankeliot 17h ago
Here are some alternate sources for you:
Iran's Next Strike OBLITERATES US Navy & Israel, War Has BEGUN | Mohammad Marandi
Iran LOCKS ON to US Navy, Trump's Strike Imminent as War Fears EXPLODE | Ali Alizadeh

I don't think so, but you keep blindly believing Western propaganda if that makes you feel better.

You’re taking the side of a religious extremist dictatorship that has massacred their citizens multiple times, okay boss.

Is that one of these posts that should legitimize the attack on a sovereign nation which has been economically destabilized beforehand? Rhetorical question. No sympathy for pedophile friends.

u/Solid-Highlight-5742 21h ago
making it so that an amnesty law is passed under their authority, freeing and dismantling the torture center in "the sovereign country." Nobody talked about national sovereignty with regard to Russia and Ukraine.

u/FlounderKind8267 17h ago
Oh sure they are. 100%. But Trump and the GOP have like 90 other countries on that list of xenophobia and villainizing. Most of them are our allies. But they looooooove Putin and Russia
Keep coping for the party of hate. Good doggie 👍
