Iran ‘scared’ American soft power could dismantle the Ayatollah regime

Using 50 years old Americans made helicopters and blaming Americans🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A mass murderer not being popular who would of thought 😂

Iranian people want change, freedom, and choices. Their leaders... not so much.

He had blood on his hands. Those souls were crying day by day.

Free Iran

If your whole system is under threat of collapse from people experiencing Western democracy, I would contend it's not very strong anway.

"I hadn't thought of it that way" (regarding the chances of democracy spreading to Iran) - really?? It is the thing all dictstors are MOST scared of, surely - Putain included. Partly of course because in at least 50% of cases, it spells not only the end of their reign, but their life....

My heart goes out to the helicopter's family 😢 R.I.P

It is important to distinguish between the people and the leadership when mentioning a nation, as in the case of Iran. The whole of Iran includes the common citizen and most has been in an iron grip. The leadership is scared and with strong motivation since their methods are inhumane and cruel. Their people in the other hand are in a position to retake their country from their leadership if they are willing enough.

Well said professor.

Look at the women. It's sad for them but they have no idea how good life can be!

Ah yes the 2 Islamist emotions: anger and sadness.

You lot just do not understand that many of these are paid mourners, its a cultural norm.

As someone pointed out, if the Iranian system is so delicate that it cannot withstand a few people with their ideas, then it isn't very robust. I mean the American system is under enormous stress testing right now on all fronts from what one might classify as anti-American soft power influences even from within the government. We will have to see if they can hold together - but could any other country have remained standing this long?

"Flux" is not EXACTLY the word I was thinking of to describe Iran

Waiting to see these “pro Iranian “ people pack their bags and move there…….. still waiting

Ebrahim Raisi, the former president of Iran who died in a helicopter crash, was indeed a brutal and ruthless figure known for his role in mass executions and violent crackdowns on dissent. As a young cleric in 1988, Raisi served on the "death committees" that ordered the executions of thousands of political prisoners, earning him the moniker "the butcher." He proudly defended these killings as "divine punishment" and a "proud achievement." During the 2019 protests over fuel price hikes, Raisi, then head of the judiciary, played a central role in the violent suppression that left at least 1,500 protesters dead. As president from 2021, he oversaw a harsh crackdown on the 2022 protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in custody, with over 500 killed and 22,000 arrested. Raisi strictly enforced the mandatory hijab laws, with morality police brutally targeting women like Amini for perceived violations. His presidency was marked by an emboldened stance against the U.S., further uranium enrichment, and a major missile attack on Israel in 2023. Raisi rose through the ranks as a hardline protege of Supreme Leader Khamenei, who facilitated his path to the presidency by disqualifying opposition candidates. His reputation for lethal repression made him a divisive figure both domestically and internationally.

Some say they were last heard screaming Ally's At The Bar...ALLY'S AT THE BAR!......Which is as we all know a load of nonesense Ally does not even drink and was far too busy putting helicopter co ordinated into the missile system database........

It seems Allah has sent a message to Iran. Peace is better than tyranny.

Iranians should see this as a chance for change.This is their chance
