Just because the US launched one of the stupidest and least planned wars in a century, does not make the Iranian government good.
Just two months ago they were killing thousands of protestors.
The saudi regime is as bad we don't have any sanction on them. Israel is doing the worst crime in humanity a fucking genocide we don't have sanctions on the state itself. Any kind of sanctions in the war makes it harder for iran to defend itself for being genocided too. So please stop with your hypocrisy
Ah, but the Saudi regime has dumptrucks full of money.
OK they should be sanctioned too then. Next question?
But there is no sanctions on them though showing canada hypocrisy. Thye are sanctionning iran because it is israel and usa enemies and to make irqn lose so israel can genocide it and do the greater israel project
Iran was being sanctioned before the attack too. A lot of people act like any enemy of Trump is their ally, but this is not so.
Nobody is claiming that. This is just an idiotic straw man. You don't have to support the government in Iran to understand that invading countries is wrong. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
I did not claim that starting a war on Iran was OK. I said that sanctioning them is OK. Sanctions on Iran should not stop just because of Trump's idiotic war.
The Lancet has published data concluding that US imposed sanctions cause the deaths of more than 564,000 people each year. More than half of the dead are children under the age of 5. If that's what you support, you're utterly sick.
If open trade with, and therefore support of, a totalitarian theocratic regime that just killed tens of thousands of protestors is what you support, you're just as sick.
Way to try justify starving children fash.
Iran doesn't have starving children.
sure fash
The ten thousands of protesters numbers comes from iranint backed by saudi arabia. Not to say that the regime did not intentionally killed protesters. All the usa is responsible of millions of death and iarael is doing a genocide
Americans...
Why? Borders are imaginary.
Marx knew that.
that must've sounded really clever in your head
Am I wrong? You definitely can't see or touch them.
The USSR also initiated a few invasions.
I am not a tankie and I have the same opinion cna you provide a real argument now?
With the express and publicly stated purpose to bring so much physical economic pain to the people so that they revolt against the gov't.
People ruled by pedophile oligarchs don't get to decide which governments are 'good' and invade countries based on that.
Just two months ago they were killing thousands of protestors.
If they killed thousands in a few days, how many were killed during 4 weeks of US bombing?
The government's repression and killing is still going on, and it will continue until the regime falls.
Which is why it's bizarre we're supporting them throughout all their belligerence.
Oh sorry I thought you were talking about the US
This post and particularly the ml comnents are again the worst propaganda: low quality, sowing division, inciting anger - it's the propagandists' recipe to destroy a community.
The announced sanctions target individuals and entities with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp’s weapons production and transfers of arms and technology to malign actors, including to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.
Canada must now address the Islamic Republic of Iran’s escalating domestic repression and flagrant human rights abuses.
A reminder that Scotty here is projecting as usual since spreading racist propaganda to sow hatred and division is his specialty. https://lemmy.ml/post/39655060
Canada, which practices literal slavery according to the UN and runs an apartheid state where First Nations rights are not respected, has no business sanctioning other countries on human rights, and should instead address grave human rights concerns domestically:
Canada has no right to talk about human rights after the first Nations and residential schools.
I mean, isn't the whole point of Truth and Reconciliation to talk about human rights and action that promotes it moving forward?
And then send weapons to Israel so it can commit genocide in Gaza.
We're too shitty to put an end to shitty things?
It really does and it skewers even my perspective. It's important to note what they're doing.
And then there is Cuba. Conundrum after conundrum. Oh for the good old days when you could tell the bad guys from the good without a playlist.
Wait, in the 'good old days', there was Vietnam.
What some people mentioned really makes the point: Sanctioning Iran makes sense, but if we’re truly doing it to be good people then there should be sanctions on Israel and Saudi Arabia and other places as well. It’s not Iran being the target that’s the problem, it’s all the people that aren’t targets. The US is literally a violent neighbour who has expressly stated that they want to hurt us and who is doing so many blatantly evil things to not only its own citizens and immigrants but even to our people who are there and Carney’s on his knees for them.
Let's not defend evil just because another evil bonked it on the head, shall we?
Iran doesn't need USA to kill their people. Iran killed Thousands of Iranian protesters themselves before the war.
Yes, unlike America, who just bombs them and pretends they are "in talks"
