POLITICO

This is a very good summary of the causes of the protest that occurred last month in Iran. Basically, every player is evil and a murderer: The Islam Republic, Obama, Biden, Trump, and Israel. The only real truth behind this story is that economic sanctions inflicted against a sovereign nation whose State persistently violates human rights is even more disrespectful of the human rights of the citizens of that country. Why? Because you're consolidating the power of the ruling regime.

"Although, presently, the protests have been forcibly contained once again, the political impasse the Islamic Republic has imposed on an increasingly restive and by now desperate society persists. Addressing this impasse requires a significant political change, of course, something the Islamic Republic adamantly refuses to even consider. Meanwhile, Trump’s crude posturing as Iran’s saviour and bombastic promises of “helping” the protesters has had no tangible effect, except playing into the regime’s hands and bolstering its narrative of tying the protests to foreign machinations. Israel, too, openly boasts of Mossad involvement in the protests, an allegation whose specific validity is hard to gauge but, ironically, is the linchpin of the regime’s official justification of its violence being a defensive strategy against armed foreign agents. It remains the daunting task of the Iranian people and their progressive international allies to figure out the basic contours of a viable roadmap out of the country’s horrible current impasse."
