You are taking crazy pills. Who is the other major power involved in this war? Russia? They barely talked about the attacks. They are way too busy in the Ukraine?
China? You think China will risk it's prosperity for an isolated theocratic regime?
I don't agree with the guy, but Russia has dependencies both in central Asia and in Europe. Without Russia's support, the current regimes in Turkmenistan, Belarus and Transnistria would not survive.
Yes, this current attack on Iran is absolutely nonsensical if you're trying to get a regime change done. Any sensible person should condemn the intervention.
B. Adults raping children and adolescents is disgusting. Adolescents having sex with each other is a completely different thing. You wanna convict the 16 years old for having sex with their 15 year old partner? Is that "child sex" to you? I lost my virginity before I turned 18, should I go to jail? You should brush up on your definition of children.
Iranian women have to get permission from their husbands to work and if a husband deems the employment of a woman to insult the honor of the family, he can revoke said permission at any time.
If a woman is killed, the nearest living male relative can decide whether or not to forgive the murderer. This decision cannot be made by female relatives. A women's testimony can always be overruled if a man testifies the opposite.
If the family of a murder victim wants to receive money instead of seeing the murdered hanged, the murderer has to pay only half the blood money if the victim was female.
Leaving Iran without the husbands permission is prohibited.
Women are routinely banned from certain events like football games or other public spectacles. Women are more often rejected as candidates in "elections".
Rape has to be proven by at least three witnesses; spousal compensation ends, as soon as women leave their marital home.
Women are second class citizens in Iran. Not just through societal patterns, but by law.
I totally agree with you on your stance towards western involvement, but the amount of people outright denying that the IR is terrible for its people just disgusts me.
Age of consent in Germany is the age at which 14 year old can fiddle each other and people up to 18. They can not marry adults.
Iran allows marriage after the occurrence of the first period.
You see the difference?
Oh, and the harshest European law against hijabs is France's asinine ban of full face coverage, which punishes the wearing of the niqab or tshador with a maximum fine of 150€. If one forces someone to wear these veils, they can be punished with a fine of up to 30.000€ and a year in prison.
This law is horseshit, I wanna make that clear.
The Iranian law on Veils punishes the first offense with a suspended fine of 6.7 million toman, then on the second offense ramps up 13 million, then between 20 and 80 million and the fourth between 80 and 165.
After the fifth, it's two to five years in prison. For not wearing a veil.
It gets even funnier: if you advocate for people to not wear a veil, and you did so in corporation with some non-iranian entity or person, you will immediately be sentenced to a fine of between 300 million and 550 million toman and 5 to 10 years in prison. You can even be sentenced to death if the court determines that your actions are spreading "corruption and evil on earth".
This thread began with the hypothesis that there are no Ukrainians in Ukraine and that all Ukrainians are just fascist Russians elevating a "Dialect" to a language because they hate communism.
To my knowledge, Ukrainian split from old Ruthenian in the 13th and was acknowledged as its own language in the 1840s, way before any communist states arose in Russia or the Ukraine.
Alexander II. even outlawed the language in Ukraine.
So, enlightened person, tell me what part of this is just "librul smorm".
Didn't know the people in bleeding Kansas started executing slaves, but hey, what's a little repression of Kurdish and Arab rebellions in an empire eh?
And why, if no other possible party was there and the Islamists achieved their goal totally unopposed, did they feel the need to massively purge their own revolutionary government within the year?
Framing a fucking Shariah state as "trying to keep western influence out", while said State encodes the legal discrimination of women and non-shia Muslims into law, retains apostasy laws and oppresses the shit out of it's Kurdish and Balochi minorities, is the most "West bad" type of shit I've seen in days.
I don't hate the Basijis and Mullahs because the western media told me, I hate them because of my Iranian friends. I am sure, Nika Shakarami, Mahsa Amini and Hadis Najafi can rest easy knowing that the Regime that murdered them at least isn't a disgusting westernized one.
China would not risk a global conflict crashing their economy for a war in Iran. As you said, Russian Oil is sufficient for China.
And no, not even under the auspices of chief Cheeto would America risk a direct confrontation with a nuclear power such as China. A proxy war? Sure.
