Let us hope that they can control Christian and Jewish Zionism have undermined the underling principals of International Law such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These principals were developed over the centuries and compounded after WWII. If the US and Zionists are permitted to continue with impunity, the human race will revert to barbarism.

The US are Zionists. You can just say Zionists, it’s basically every Western Nation.

If we had planned an attack to fire up Iran, we couldn't have done better. The horrific thing is there was no plan on our side, but a LONG RANGE plan inside of Iran. They do not have the option of seeing war as a distraction but rather, something they have had a plan A, B and C for.

We don't. We are the silly children who blow up a car without caring who is inside. We didn't know that entire family of Mojtabe Khamenei was killed. Actually, Trump couldn't point out Iran on a map and because of that? We have set the world on fire. All because Israel finally found an idiot president to push buttons for it's genocidal destruction of the middle east.

​I have never been more proud of my Iranian heritage, I will be celebrating the Iranian New Year in earnest and I will be wishing

- Full victory for Iran against this barbaric attack by the US/Israel

- Hope Iran will learn from this and build the bomb to safeguard their future and independence

- Hope the Iranian government after this victory recognize and work hard to improve the life of ordinary Iranians economically, socially and full equal rights for women as men

- Will remember and cherish all those who lost their lives either defending Iran or those innocent lives that was lost last January

- NO sympathy for those who put their eggs in the Israelis and their agent Reza Pahlavi

And I hope the Iranian people learn to rely more on themselves and less on their government

Never thought I'd like a post that was pro building the bomb but as long as Israel exists Iran doesn't have much choice

The feeling is mutual but the West has made this a necessity, those who have it are safe from such attacks, those who gave it up have been practically destroyed.

i hear your sentiment, but the IR is another barbaric authoritarian regime with no interest to build the society. last 40 years is a clear proof if it. Iran is a society with potential of South Korean with condition of North Korea.

It is easy to use hyperbole like barbaric but not as easy to match the adjective to the reality. IRI is certainly an authoritarian regime and they have had more than their share of their shortcomings but also we need to consider the headwind that they have been facing by the West which has been aiming to dominate and control them, just as they did with their pervious authoritarian regime that ruled Iran. The future of Iran and what kind of system they want to be governed by must be decided by Iranians and Iranians alone. When I think barbaric, Gaza comes to mind and to some extend Lebanon.

Cheeto’s Propaganda Machine: Conspiracy Theories And Lies

Since the Reagan years there has been a gradual increased animosity toward the press because the Republican Nazis believe they get a “raw deal” from a biased press corps This has been evaluated and reviewed and this point of view doesn’t hold water But like everything the far right claims these days “everybody is against us” Poor me I’m a victim once again This has been the rallying cry of the Nazi Republicans now actually creating a conspiracy theory around being a victim

Conspiracy theories become a form of right wing propaganda even though the propaganda has been debunked in past As the saying goes “Just keep repeating the lies until people believe the lies”

Hidden behind the propaganda is that you’re not patriotic or have no allegiance to the flag unless you support and believe in the conspiracy theory whatever it may be Right wing twisted mental sociopaths work daily on deceiving the American public

Then there are the threats to people’s intelligence FCC chair Carr threatens network licensing…which by the way he can’t do…and will support Ellison’s CBS debacle along with other attempts to confuse the American people and has demanded like any fascist that the media needs to be policed Publicly a right wing lawyer steeped in this propaganda effort has said, “We need to get the libs off the air” Cheeto needs to be reported to the FCC for all his lies

Cheeto’s whole point behind the fascist attack of the media is to suppress and intimidate the media so they won’t report the truth It’s right out of the Nazi Republican authoritarian playbook called Project 2025 But WE the People will insist on news reporting that is honest and substantiated and let the weak minds be manipulated

Will you and other stop using the word "regime" to describe the resistance governments to the USA/Israel and other purveyors of violence on this planet. Regime is a term they use like terrorist to condition their uninformed and racist population to be onboard with their crimes. Please stop echoing their propaganda. Have you heard them or their media call the genocidal government in Israel a regime. Use of their language means they've won because you're playing by their rules.

The author is literally a former spokesman for the State Department. I hope Zeteo brings us actual Irani voices in the coming days. Drop Site has been doing good work.

Trump will never regret any of it.

Only US citizens and the rest of the world will.

Turning Ali Khamenei into a martyr and killing the family of the next supreme leader of Iran does not bode well for future diplomatic relations. Pair that with a generation of Iranian leaders that believed restraint is what led to the current war, and it's not hard to believe future relations will be strained.

The late Khamenei as described in the western press is an obvious caricature. I wonder what he was really like.

the zionist thought by duplicating the Libya/ Irag chaos model, and to disintegrate Iran, they could expand and rule further. i wonder if this war proves to be the turning points for Zionist who advocate Turkey is the next Iran in their expansion project. if Iran is standing to the pressure like this, i am sure the others will follow. the geopolitics of West Asia and world is changing so fast. the Gulf region countries may have to swing to China for stability model. Another concern for US-Israeli camp.

Thank you for the article, ZETEO. Well Trump is busy using scapegoats for what he has started, a war with Iran as we all ready know. Trump is trying to blame his son in law. Oh but they will say that’s fake news. Iran and Russia fighting together, that is true. Someone sold out America to the Russians. Run Susie Run. You may have breast cancer ♋️, I have had a family member die at age 47 years old. Mrs Wiles had the President sign documents that dismissed all the sanctions against Russia. Mrs. Wiles just sold out any every American Citizen that pays taxes. She let a war criminal in on every place a soldier will be fighting. The Iranian people just have to sit back and watch America make fools of themselves. The new leader of Iran they say is just as a radical as his father. I feel sad at this moment in America’s history. If you like Independent Journalism please subscribe to ZETEO.
