Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

why the fuck would a facist regime enrich so much uranium to such high levels? death to the iranian regime I say. follow reza pahlavi and not the pervy mullahs.
Citation needed.
The son of the Shah? That's... uh... a tenuous proposition, to say the least.
Are you seriously defending the mullah regime? Do you know anything about what’s happening in Iran?
Yes, and I know it's not fascism. "Fascism" is a word that has a meaning, and that meaning is not "authoritarian regime I don't like".
I would say most if not all boxes of fascism by definition are ticked in Iran.
Dictatorial leader, forceful suppression of any opposition and/or critics, strong militarism, centralized autocracy, nation above the individual, a strong regimentation of society, …
I'm not sure how militarized Iranian society is, but most of what you said applies to most dictatorships. On the other hand,
-Wikipedia. The idea that there are undesirables in society who must be purged or suppressed to achieve national (as in racial) unity and greatness is a core tenet of fascism that is conspicuously absent from Iran. I mean hell, if Iran was running anything like this they'd go after their Jews (which they have a small number of), Christians or Sunni Muslims to rile up the Shia majority, but they don't.
do you read news at all?

he is calling for days, all media covers it and you think saying it in the fediverse is tenuous? maybe telegram groups are more your thing.
and on the facist regime i want to quote: "Iran has insisted that it is not developing a bomb and that its nuclear program remains non-weaponized for peaceful energy purposes, though international inspectors have found increasing evidence to the contrary. The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog reported that Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium—just below weapons-grade—has grown large enough to produce multiple bombs if further enriched. Analysts say Iran could theoretically produce a bomb’s worth of material in as little as a week, and that no other country has that level of uranium without a nuclear weapons program."

what else than a facist would do that? shitty mullahs behave like patrick star "nO. mAybe wE wAnt to wIpe all Jews. tihihihihi." irans regime should just die and anyone who thinks their childish shennanigans still fly ist just dumb. follow pahlavi.
The son of the source of the tragedy? You Zios are too stupid
ah, everyone who dislikes the facist regime of iran is a zionist now. you are just underlining my point.
You support the son of the shah who's killed Iranians. You do not care about Iranians and are happy to sacrifice them so israel put a puppet regime instead. The history show us how it always back fire and lead to creation of resistance group who hate the west
