For the uninitiated: Western propaganda about Iranian women all forcibly wearing headscarves is exaggerated into oblivion.

It is so blatantly fake that it’s debunked by a few seconds on Youtube:

Go to any random point in this video, which after the intro is one continuous long shot: https://youtu.be/HpCMThYr8WU?t=212

Or any other video on this channel. Or search the words “Iran walk” on youtube and go to some other channel and you can see a woman without headscarf every 20 seconds in busy areas.

    I just took the effort to read part of your spam buzzword article until this part which completely omitted Western sanctions and thus I am once again proven correct that you did nothing more than concern troll with irrelevant imperialist spam propaganda which exists to paint a one-sided narrative without placing any blame on the West which is literally the cause for their economic struggles.

    The most recent protests were initially triggered by the dramatic collapse of Iran’s national currency and the severe deterioration of living conditions. The rapid devaluation of the rial, combined with soaring inflation and widespread poverty, has pushed large segments of the population beyond economic survival. These conditions have led many to conclude that the crisis is not temporary or reformable, but structural and inseparable from the existing system of power.

    Unlike earlier episodes, the current protests reflect a broader level of collective awareness. Demonstrations are no longer confined to specific cities or social groups; instead, they have spread simultaneously across multiple regions, involving diverse segments of society. Economic grievances have quickly transformed into explicitly political demands, with protesters openly calling for the end of authoritarian rule and the dismantling of the Islamic Republic.

      Now you’re just blatantly lying. Read my previous comment, again. They clearly mention and condemn the sanctions. Just because they don’t mention them every sentence doesn’t mean they ignore them.

      You’re nothing but an “Amerikkka bad” campist who’s not interested in the plight of the Iranian people.

        Halfway their billion word article they mention the word sanctions. Nobody cares. The only one doesn’t care about the Iranian people is you . You just want to do whataboutism spam of imperialist fake leftist articles to whitewash coming crimes against Iranians in posts which have nothing to do with them.

          Ah, yes. I don’t care about the Iranian people because… Instead of focussing on how much iranian women are allowed not to wear headscarves, I’m rather focussing on how the iranian people suffer under austerity in a plutocratic system which is also under pressure from the imperialist hegemon and it’s vasals. And since the article I posted isn’t entirely made up of the words “Amerikkka” and “sanctions”, but rather goes into detail in how the current protests came about, how the poorer classes suffer under the current system and how international powers try to coopt the movement by trying to astroturf the return of the Schah.

          But now, I’ve seen the errors of my ways! All Iranians are A-OK, because women in Teheran are allowed not to wear scarves in youtube videos! Nothing to see in Iran. Amerikka is the big devil! Long live the Ayatollah!
