Parham DoustdarHey Mastodon, if you're wondering how Iranians feel about #iran getting attacked, here is my summary. Of course humans are diverse and opinions differ, and I'm a human with my own biases, so I'll focus on capturing the thoughts I've read online, or heard people say. (1/4)
Most people agree that war is "bad". At the same time, 47 years of negotiating with the Iranian regime has got it to the point where they boast, openly to their own people, that they could build a nuclear weapon. They massacred over 35 THOUSAND! of their own people with any weapon they could get their hands on. (2/4)
They tortured and raped and killed whoever they could get their hands on, there are stories of women having their wombs and bowels removed and having to live the rest of their life in pain, and the memories of being raped by 3 people simultaneously. (3/4)
So at this point, many of my friends say that if they could get killed in a war and guarantee a better life for the next generation, they would. Many people view the war as a necessary evil, because at least maybe, just maybe, it *might* give them a chance against a regime that knows only death. (4/4)
