Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

Drumpft is retardposting again, this time related to the new wave of protests that have hit Iran. Deadly and widespread protests take place nearly every year in Iran, per usual catalyzed by the dire economic situation and rooted in discontent over corruption & Iran's failed foreign+ repressive domestic policies. Especially the younger, urban and more educated segments of society want either heavy reforms or even the end of the Islamic Republic.

Under the April 2025 introduced H. R. 2614 Maximum Support Act the US would have the domestic judicial reach to put additional pressure on the turbans, hence Trump's 'locked and loaded'. This Bill hasn't passed Congress yet but will be akin to the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) framework that was adopted by the United Nations in 2005.

I cannot post in the religion related threads on Iran so I am putting it here as a side note (hope that is okay mods) but just interesting to note that Iran has just opened a large new train station in Tehran it will is fully decorated with Christian imagery.


"Iran’s capital Tehran has, on Monday 13 October, opened the ‘Holy Virgin Mary’ station on its Line Six in honour of the nation’s Christian heritage."

"The new station, which is near the St Sarkis Armenian Cathedral in District Six that serves the city’s Armenian Christian population of around 100,000, features murals showing Christian symbols. The municipality has extended its metro network to more than 160 stations – and the naming of the new station is a reflection of Iran’s constitutional protections for minority religions."

As for the part of the article relating to this thread:

"Western propaganda also claims that the country hates Jewish people and wants to destroy them. Iran has a Jewish population of around 15,000, the largest in the region outside Israel and whose presence in Iran dates back to the Babylonian exile; they have organised special events in solidarity with their government’s response to Israeli attacks, including Iran’s highly successful retaliatory missile strikes. According even to right-wing Israeli media, the Jewish community did not experience any violence or threats even during Israel’s attacks on Iran."
Mary worship is also big in Islam. It's not just a Christian thing. The icon of Mary and baby Jesus in the Hagia Sophia went untouched even after the Muslims took it over.
