This is a pic from the 1979 protest when forced hijab was being brought in:



And before the regime came to power, here is what the Iranian people lived like:

28 photos show what Iran looked like before the 1979 revolution turned the nation into an Islamic republic

From 1941 to 1979, Iran was ruled by King Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah. On February 11, 1979, the Islamic Revolution swept the country.

These protests are probably the clearest "good vs evil" case you can ever find.

One side are the incredibly brave people who are protesting for their most basic individual rights and civil liberties and the other side is an archaic theocratic fascist government that is 1400 years out of date and does not belong in the 21st century.

Iran/Persia has been one of the most influential civilisations in human history and I really hope they can take back their country from these monsters and take back their place as a productive country in international stage.

This isnt going to do much for your cause attacking UK police.

Hundreds of protesters clash with riot police across London

Scotland Yard said the disorder initially broke out at the Iranian embassy in London before moving to Marble Arch and then to Maida Vale where the Islamic Centre of England was targeted.

Nut jobs in the UK

But well done to the people in Iran.
It used to be a great place till the religious nut jobs got in.

 

[arknor]

Its ridiculous when people rebel against authority in this country because of some crap in their homeland/

should deport anyone arrested, and you know where their loyalty lies if we ever went to went with iran, pakistan etc

 

[Sankari]

More than 80 killed by Iranian security forces in Zahedan.

This is gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets any better, and I don't anticipate victory for those demanding reform.

***** off to Rwanda. If you can’t be bothered to tackle injustice outside of your 4 walls, or even worse allow others (maybe in exile) to do the same I’m not sure you understand what the “human race” is. Hint - you’ve been pwned by the Daily Mail or whoever. Be brave, think your own thinks!

I have to declare a personal interest in Iran, probably the country in that part of the world where the people have values most similar to the UK.

Murica ruining the planet one country at a time

Your own links mention Britain's involvement in that, yet you don't mention that at all?

The reality is that the British were in control of the area for a while, and were loving the oil they were stealing for years and years. The Iranian people didn't like that, so they elected a "socialist" who promised to nationalise Iran's oil, to rightfully stop Britain's theft. Britain didn't like that, but were too cowardly and incompetent to handle it all themselves, so Britain decided to make up a lie about Iran seeking to seriously ally with the Soviets. That's what activated the CIA. For the Americans, they saw it as scoring a proxy win over the Soviets. But the British had their own ends e.g. the continued economic rape of Iran, for a while longer.

wonder how libya is doing with it's new found freedom, Syria managed to survive somehow though.

It was the French that led the fight against Qaddafi. The US and UK were partners.

America should be taking in the migrants coming to Europe, they made them

So should Britain, wouldn't you agree?

 

[aVdub]

Totally agree with regime change, but worry that change might be sponsored by those outside of the country, who's track records are hardly Noble prize worthy

It's properly kicking off at Evin Prison where they detain and torture political prisoners, including foreigners.

It is unclear if the fire is linked to recent protests, but many protesters are being held at Evin prison.

Student protests mark 40 days since death of Mahsa Amini

Really kicking off over there now. I wonder it anything will come of it or it'll be crushed under the government.

Religion of peace strikes again.

 

[Rainmaker]

Things are heating up now. Anonymous has made a lot of inroads into the dictator's infrastructure and protests are heating up, but so are the retaliations. Lots of reports of small schoolchildren being arrested, beaten and even shot by morality police and security services. My proxies have never been more in demand.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

They've set fire to the house of Ruhollah Khomeini. That is huge.

There won't be any change there, this cycle happens every so often, some people get outraged over some atrocities, protest, then the government slaughters a bunch of protestors and it dies down again.

The retribution will be even greater. Don't fool yourself, we're not witnessing a revolution here. The protesters cannot win.

They can win but it will take the military or large parts of it to join them which I don't think they will. Poor sods are just going to keep suffering at the hands of these religious extremists.

They're murdering children in the street now.
