This shit is so complex... So many Iranians that want their oppressive regime destroyed see the Trump regime's recent attacks on Iran as a liberation attempt and support Trump because of it.

But in all reality - if the Trump administration wanted to "liberate" a country they already know exactly how to market that - it's what they did with #Venezuela! Like exactly!
Trump attacking Iran is a fucking horrible attempt to divert Western media's attention from the #Epstein files. My heart is with the Iranian people and protestors.

The Iran flag is recognized as a terrorist symbol to many people in Iran due to the violent and oppressive nature of their current regime. The old "Sun and Lion" Iran flag is used by progressives and those who wish for liberation of the women and people living there.

Interesting article from Yahoo Sports talking about how this flag is banned even at a sports event in Los Angeles.. leading to even USA flags being confiscated at the event. (2/2)

I've been learning a lot about the COMPLEX situation between Iran and the rest of the world, especially in relation to the USA and Israel right now on the r/NewIran subreddit.
I've been on the cautious side using #Reddit due to its #Google integration, however, the conversations being had about this complicated situation have consistently opened my eyes to how to be a better ally to people in situations where there is both good and bad in every direction. It's so fucking complicated.. Also! The Flag!! (continued in thread... 1/2)

At Iran's World Cup opener, a banned flag became a flashpoint at the stadium gates

FIFA's desire to keep out the Lion and Sun flag was strong enough that security guards were instructed to check any flag they saw.
