    Israeli journalist Zvi Yehezkeli says that Iranian protesters are organized, trained, and guided by foreign intelligence agencies (Mossad / CIA) He emphasized that Iran’s ethnic diversity provides a suitable environment for intelligence activities.

    The US Empire and its vassals clearly want regime change in Iran. It’s a key strategic area for the Belt and Road Initiative, has lots of oil, and is the biggest regional supporter of the Palestinian resistance and the biggest threat to Israel. You’re letting yourself get swept up in a western-backed regime change operation on the side of Israel and the US, ie you’re projecting with your claims of fascism.

      Not the other dude and I am buying what you’re selling, but the only source being some rando on Twitter doesn’t seem sufficient.

        That’s fair, it’s hard to find credible sources atm due to media being consolidated against Iran and the like but if no one beats me to it I’ll try putting sources for specific claims for each thing later. Do you need a source for a particular claim? Mossad involvement? (For the record, Mike Pompeo is the former CIA director so he’s very credible when boasting about intelligence involvement lol)

          Thanks for being receptive and bot having a go at me questioning this.

          I guess I would like more information on how the protests are US backed and certainly how Mossad are involved.

          Again, it’s not that I don’t believe you I just know this place is very much like the right wing these days where anything can be said as long as it’s for the cause, not saying this is you but I like to be sure about things I will tell others.

        No, you’re aiding fascists by siding with Israel and the US Empire. There’s no organized, working class movement in Iran that was behind the protests, and in such conditions spontaneity gets swept up behind whatever is actively stirring the pot. Further, it’s factually proven that Israel and the US have been arming rioters and offering reward money for kills.

        This is why reading theory is necessary for anyone on the left, otherwise you make fundamental errors and end up supporting fascists that would be far worse for Iranians than their current theocracy.
