Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can we do better than posting the economist with no analysis or commentary?
Thought it speaks for itself. Iran is hampered by reformists liberalism and their tendency to trust the West, so this might be an interesting internal development.
Obviously the editorial line is in favour of English millionaires, but the political line they believe in doesn't imply that they are wrong on verifiable facts. (In other words: don't trust their spin, but their reporting can still have value.)
Yeah since it's the economist saying this there's no guarantee it's true but it IS a predictable outcome of all that's going on. I think most people here will just be commenting on the headline
The Economist has printed a silly article. We shall neither read nor reply to it.

i'm interpreting this to mean that hardliners are not grabbing power in Iran
The Economist
I feel like this should be in c/slop
If they're hardliners wtf do you call you yanks 
When a nation is stressed and harassed, hardliners see the crisis as an opportunity to maintain or expand rule by gathering the people around a common enemy? Sure, makes sense
