Coming from my perspective a little. Iran is a part of BRICS now and Lula has defended Iran in latest interviews. Let's see how things develop and if Iran representatives will come to Rio (for the BRICS Summit). This is troubling.

So... Once Iranian government falls. Who's going to prevent the terrorists from going into Iran spread there?
The new government is probably too weak, Israel probably don't care anymore and will focus on clearing off Palestine.
So the US probably got handed off this hot potato because, if no western countries is doing it, China or Russia will come in and cause chaos later.
Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).
So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.
terrorists
don’t forget, the US is the terrorist here.
They all are.
Imperialism and anti-imperialism are exactly the same. You fool. You absolute buffoon.
I don’t see what’s anti-imperialist about Iran, who have been building fiefdoms throughout the region.
Sometimes I say "libs think imperialism is when any country does anything outside of their border except for western ones" and think I'm being ridiculously hyperbolic but god damn if there ain't a lot of y'all who do think like that
They fight against usa's military base "Pissrael". This makes them anti-imperialist.
The reason that our media have incessantly repeated Iran-backed this, Iran-controlled that for decades is to convince us that Iran is the big bad guy behind the small bad guys terrorizing good guy Israel.
By now it should be obvious that Israel never was the good guy. Israel is a US-backed genocidal, fascist, settler-colonial state seeking Lebensraum for a Greater Israel. And the supposed “bad guys” have just been trying to survive under threat the of the small imperialist state, Israel, a state which only exists thanks to significant, continued support from the big imperialist state, the US.

That is why Iran accurately, metaphorically calls the US the “Great Satan” and Israel the “Small Satan”.
So… Once Iranian government falls.
I wouldn’t take that as a given.
So the US probably got handed off this hot potato because, if no western countries is doing it, China or Russia will come in and cause chaos later.
Is this a joke? Western imperialist states entering would create chaos, while China and/or Russia entering would be stabilizing. Iran, China, and Russia are major BRICS partners, and have shared regional security interests.
Who do you think organizes, funds, trains, and equips the various groups of Salafi jihadist terrorist groups that wreak havoc in Western and Central Asia? The United States, with some assistance from Israel and probably the UK. The US has wanted regime change in Iran ever since the puppet regime they installed in the US-orchestrated 1953 coup was overthrown in the 1978 revolution. The US has wanted to regain its imperialist control of Iran for the last 47 years.
