World actors are exploiting and fuelling the situation brought about by USA sanctions and Iran leaders own mismanagement. May this pass quickly with a better outcome for Iranians. Whichever the case, they should never make a pact with the devils USA and Israel.

Thank you Ahmed for reporting these difficult and complex stories. Lately I’ve been wondering if Israel is actually the Fourth branch of the United States government.

Al Jazeera and Qatar are getting their money's worth with you, then.

The world is spinning back to the age of depravity, corruption, cruelty, theft reminiscent of the colonial powers and colonial settler states. The west has never rooted out its heinous colonial mindset: "we come to liberate you" is a centuries old colonial refrain - freedom and democracy have always been the west's cover for land and resource theft, subjugation and worse. cf: 1953 Iranian coup d'état, spearheaded by the UK and US to unseat the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister who was replaced with a corrupt puppet whose role was to ensure vassal-status and theft of resources by terrorizing, torturing and punishing those who challenged it, but rewarding those who towed the line with riches - the 1% in today's jargon.

What secret agreements were made at the end of WWII when a European population was planted in West Asia, and for decades since supported and financed to the tune of billions, its atrocities not only ignored or erased from the history books but given absolute impunity - it's like the colonies of old when mass-slaughter, genocide, torture and terror, subjugation, slavery, engineered famine and theft was the norm, a norm named "western civilization".

Read the history of Islamic expansionism and conquest, the real history. Now we're talking real colonialists! Slave traders! Subjugators of all and oppressors of the minorities left over in the Middle East after the rampaging of the Mohammedans. Go to Syria and visit the Druze and Kurds. Talk to them!

Read it thanks, and researched it too. However, I don't understand how it gives a pass to the west for doing the same, nor do I understand the distinction you allude to between colonists and 'real' colonists. Colonialism in whatever form it takes is heinous.

Getting rid of the unbelievably brutal.Iranian regime is completely justified, and your ignorance is nauseating.

Israel has been playing with fire for far too long, the end of the Mullahs won't signal the end of Iran's support for justice and dignity for Palestinians because humanity still exists in Iranian society. Not much could be said about Israeli society!

The Arabs and other Muslims in the Middle East are the biggest enemies of the Arabs they've labeled "Palestinians," using them as a dispensable weapon of jihad in their quest to re-conquer the land of Israel and the rest of the world as we see taking place in Europe and other parts of what is called the Christian West. Islam is a heathen religion of human sacrifice.

We recently heard plenty of who wants to conquer more and more land covering multipple countries in the region. And it's not Iran or any Arabs other than Israel lackeys trying to conquer Sudan.

You’ve probably never even lived in Iran=))))) and you’re writing this based on things you’ve heard just to get attention and engagement. I’ve lived in Iran my whole life and I can tell you clearly: people want the Islamic Republic gone. That’s why they went to the streets shouted against the mullahs and paid for it with their lives (something that clearly bothers you). The regime survives only through killing. Without real support from the U.S. and other powerful countries people with empty hands won’t get far. Next time you want to chase attention, write about a place you’ve actually lived in. Maybe you even got paid for this post. Who knows.

Only a tiny part of what is happening has anything to do with USA and Israel. Iranians are well used to this. #NegaAghaSoltan

Push it harder. That God awful regime has to go.

With Iran, there has been a predictable American-UK proclivity for sanctioning the nation, its officials and even their allies since the Iranian Revolution, sanctions resulting in, among other negative impacts, reduced oil production revenue by the country long-demonized by much of the West. 

The 1979 Iranian Revolution's expulsion of major Western nations was in large part due to British and American companies exploiting Iran's plentiful fossil fuel. The expulsion may have been a big-profit-losing lesson learned by the ‘energy’-corporation heads, one that they, via intense lobbyist influence over the relevant governments in Washington and London, would resist reoccurring anywhere globally. 

It would be understandable if those corporate fossil-fuel interests would like Iran’s government to fall thus re-enabling their access to Iran’s resources. Thus, if Iran were to militarily surrender to Western forces thus big corporate interests, soon-enough afterwards it will also be compelled to surrender access to much of its vast fossil fuel reserves to American and British ‘energy’ companies. Those corporations, and likely Israel’s government/interests as well, know there's still much to be effectively appropriated. 

The U.S./British invasion and prolonged occupation of Iraq (2003-11) very likely were viciously violent acts largely motivated by such Western insatiable corporate greed. According to AI Overview (for what it's worth), “some [U.S.] companies did secure lucrative contracts for oil services and exploration in Iraq following the war.” Also, “British oil companies, particularly BP, significantly benefited from the Iraq War by gaining access to and exploiting Iraq's vast oil reserves.” 

I read/heard nothing in the mainstream news-media about these post-war foreign fossil-fuel-corporation incursions into Iraq; and I doubt that the morally-/ethically-challenged news outlets would objectively/fully report on similar big-business incursions into a post-war-defeat Iran.

The Iranian leadership are reaping what they've sowed. If things had gone the way they should have in 1979, their cities would still be uninhabitable due to radioactivity.

Iran has been attacking the US since the takeover by the mullahs. They have also been attacking Israel through their proxies, which they arm at the expense of their own citizenry, whom they abuse in every manner possible. So I thank God that the end has come for these monsters. Go US, go Israel! Free Iran!
