    Still, opposing Israel is not an excuse to ignore the crimes committed by the Islamic Republic. As an example, The Islamic Republic was allied with Assad.

      Yep. In general I do not like the current government. However, do keep in mind this government is a direct result of a coup orchestrated by the US and Britain. We like to oust communist / socialist governments for right wing autocrats.

          They are probably talking about this:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d’%C3%A9tat

          I am too tired to explain why this influenced the 1979 Islamic revolution but it is not the main cause. Also it’s not that you guys are interested to hear my side of the story.

            Not a socialist, so I guess they were referring to somebody else. Thanks for trying though
