3 part incredible video, what I've been forever trying to say about Iran.
- Iran was never expansionist.
- Iran NEVER supported terrorism.
- Iran's support to its allies (Houthis, Hezbollah, Palestine) was miniscule compared to any military budget in the region. It should've supported more.
- Last two decades, Iran's leadership has been pushing for progressive reforms. That showed in rights, especially for women (more PhDs than men, high workforce participation, less strict rules).
- Tehran is an incredibly modern, cosmopolitan metropol.
- Iran's leadership desparately seeked relationship with West and diplomacy.
- Israel's lies tricked the West. Even some leftists.
- And Iran did NOT kill 30k protestors you absolute idiots.
Ultimstely, a lot like the rest of colonialist history, Iran is a victim of its restraint towards the colonialist West.
