    I feel for the innocent civilians who did not ask for or deserve this.

    But I feel nothing for the ones who stood beside the brutal regime and made more enemies than competent allies.

        Damming rivers with runoffs into salt plains and salt desert, funneling water into agriculture for gdp, and making enemies in every direction was probably a really bad move, ngl.

        If they hadn’t done any one particular thing in that list then things wouldn’t be so bad, now.

        Heads up, desertification is spreading rapidly through that region due to climate change. It’s not going to rain well every year, mate.

          Yeah, how dare they seek food security without imports in the face of international embargo.

            GDP means Gross Domestic Product which means they were EXPORTING THE FOOD and actually a huge amount of spices such as Safron. You could argue that they are just really really really bad at math but the result is the same, incompetence leading to drought.

      Rumour is the regime is just going to move out of Tehran to somewhere else in the country, so unfortunately they may escape the consequences of their poor governing. Unless the people rise up against them of course.

        But, are they wrong?

        Seriously, someone can be the epitome of what you despise and still be correct about something.

          Yes they are wrong. Iran is suffering because of Israel and heavy US sanctions. The US regime is the problem.

          Nah. Zionists can spout whatever platitudes they like. Standing by a genocide is still going to be the reason they get scalped.
