Thread: Iran Protests 2011

The thing about thwe iranian protests is the government has wayyy to much powerr and no matter what the people think or feel they will never be able to overthrow the current rrgimr as they did in the revolutioon in the late 70's

regime*

In the first couple of days of the protests if the police or the revolution guards make the mistake of killing couple of protestors then there can be a chance for a bigger turnoround on the later days, same happened in Egypt.

For this to happen in Iran I would really shocked and it will definitely change that area.

We can thank both Bush and Obama.


I can remember writing on the subways "Fuck Iran" " Free the hostages" back in the 70's.

I remember watching the news before going to school back then. I was 10. Day 63, day 145, day 300, and finally day 444, the last.

I remember the hostages being discussed in school, but I don't recall every being told why they were taken.

Yes, it was a violation of international law to break into an Embassy and do that.

But the US had sown the seeds of discontent and flat out hatred by pushing out Mossadegh, who was democratically elected, and putting in the puppet Shah Reva Pahlavi, "The Shah."

Why? Oil.

Oh boy..if this goes down...its gonna get messy. But they do need to overthrow the current regime.

This is not bad in a way. Instead of America poking its nose in other countries trying to help, let them deal with it themselves.

Not so much...




I hope someone in the Middle East tries something that stupid.

Yep, Israel had better keep their finger close to the button. Real democracy in that region won't be anything like what we know it to be. Islam and democracy are completely opposing forces. The first thing they'd do is try to make good on their promise to wipe them off the map, whether it were Iran or another moo-slime country.

Iran is nothing like Egypt.

The Supreme Council runs the country and they have a secure security apparatus.

Nonetheless, there may be clashes. The Iranian Baby Boomers are a large percentage of the population and they don't view things the sames as the Supreme council.

I wish I could rep you again.

Real democracy in the Middle East is something that even Indiana Jones couldn't find.

U.S. Pressures Iran to Allow Protests, Former Prince Says 'Tehran Moment' Coming

After popular uprisings toppled regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, the Obama administration appears to be fanning the embers of unrest in Iran, calling on the country's theocratic regime to permit a new wave of demonstrations against its rule.
Iran, after cracking down on dissent following the disputed 2009 election, is once again vowing to stifle the opposition as anti-government organizers call for a nationwide march Monday. With questions swirling about what regimes, if any, will be claimed next by the regional uprising in the Middle East, the Iranian government is preemptively showing its determination not to become one of them.
But while the Obama administration, which did not openly back Iranian protesters in 2009, is hardly calling for regime change, top officials have made clear that the people of Iran should have their voices heard -- just as they did in Cairo.
Iranian dissidents are holding out hope that, if the government faces global pressure, the momentum could shift in their favor.
Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the last shah of Iran who was deposed in the 1979 revolution, told Fox News on Sunday that the outcome in Egypt must be "emboldening" for his country. Though some analysts warn Iran has proved it has the capacity and the will to strike down the opposition, Pahlavi suggested some in the Iranian military might not stand by the regime to the end.


"Our time as a region has finally come," Pahlavi said. "My compatriots in Tehran want to have their Tehran moment, as Egyptians had their Cairo moment. ... Iran's turn is going to come up soon as well."
He urged "free countries" to drop their attempts at dialogue with Iran and offer more support for those trying to effect a change in leadership.
"The people are now fighting tooth and nail to defend their freedom totally under-armed, totally underequipped," Pahlavi told Fox News. "The least we could do from the point of view of the free world is to stand by them, tell them that they're not alone, that their voices have been heard."
Obama administration officials have, at this point, said their voices should be heard. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon issued a statement Saturday urging Iran not to follow through with stated plans to crush the protesters.
"By announcing that they will not allow opposition protests, the Iranian government has declared illegal for Iranians what it claimed was noble for Egyptians," Donilon said. "We call on the government of Iran to allow the Iranian people the universal right to peacefully assemble, demonstrate, and communicate that's being exercised in Cairo."
That was after Vice President Biden on Friday called for Iran to "let your people march, let your people speak, release your people from jail."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, on his last day on the job Friday, echoed that point.
"I think what you've seen in the region is the government of Iran, quite frankly, scared of the will of its people," he said.
From Bahrain to Yemen to Algeria, Middle Eastern and African regimes are facing continuing unrest in the wake of the Tunisian and Egyptian revolts. Some of those countries, notably Yemen, are cooperating with the United States in counterterrorism operations. Though President Obama welcomed the political transition in Egypt, the United States had been aligned with ousted President Hosni Mubarak's regime for three decades.
The United States faces no such dilemma with Iran, though the Obama administration repeatedly has tried to engage with the country over its nuclear program, to little result.
Former National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley noted that the last time Iranians tried to rise up against their government, "they were brutally repressed." That possibility surely has the administration hedging as it monitors the stirrings of Iranian dissidents two years later. But Hadley suggested the dynamic could be different this time.
"The question is what the Iranian people will say when they see Egypt. And I think an answer will be, if the Egyptian people can have their freedom ... why not us?"
Fox News' Peter Doocy contributed to this report.

Yeah, but that wasn't for bringing peace to the Middle East. That was for not being Bush.

No shit! Nuke enough Arab countries and the problem will eventually go away.

And Israel came so close to pressing the button in the Yom Kippur war. It was only the US' intervention that stopped it. What a loss.

The fucked up part in the middle east is, you think Iran is against Isreal or Iraq vs Israel etc..its not all true. Their problems are mostly inside the country itself, seems Civil war never ends for these peoples.

Its different tribes, tribal wars have been going on for centuries...I dont know how they'll manage to bring peace within themselves. I mean look at Kurds. you give them everything, sure there are haters but in most places they are given freedom but they are still fighting for a none-existent country name Kurdistan. I'm sick of hearing about it.

Damn these nationalists.

absolutly, it goes deeper then iran vs israel and iran vs america really all the arab countrys are against iran as well when they went into war with iraq in the 80's there was not a single country that backed iran besides syria and parts of lebanon controlled by hezhbollah which are shia'ah muslims. Irans government controls everything security polics aremy everything is ran thru the government so these protestors are not doping anything more then jus making it worse for themselves as they will be jailed, kidnapped, and made to dissapear. As someone spoke earlier, the baby boomers from iran in then 80's are all against the current regime as they have no rights but they also dont have the power to overthrow the government as they did in the late 70's
