Last time the flag appeared on the eve of Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel in April this year.

The flag has been raised for the sixth time in Iran’s history.

    On the one hand, I agree that someone has to stop Israel from continuing to genocide the Palestinians because they're not going to stop themselves. On the other hand, I have very little hope that a regional war will actually make things better

      the Nazi concentration camps only really became systematic death camps as the war took a turn for the worse for the Germans on the Eastern Front, before that they were primarily labor camps. Does this mean the Soviets should not have pushed into Germany and destroyed the Nazi state? Allow them to keep permanent labor camps of jews and communist dissidents? Historical justice demands victory and unconditional surrender of our enemies. Anything less is a failure of justice. We are not responsible for the reactionary nature of capitalists, they do that themselves.

      Short term it will likely be worse, long term peace is only possible with the destruction of the genocidal ethnostate

        They have nukes and I fully believe they're bloodthirsty enough to launch them.

          So? So because they have nukes we all have to sit by as the colonize and genocide forever? That's really the plan? Fuck them I would rather the world burn

            Plan? I don't have a plan. I'm just a dummy on the internet, seeing death and destruction on the horizon for a whole lot of people. Again: doomjak

              Lots of wars, including decolonial and revolutionary ones, need to happen and when they start in earnest, need our full support not dooming woe is me stuff. The moment the US involves itself in this regional war we need to bring hell upon the state as a fifth column, prepare for that don't sit around dreading the future that is inevitable

          It's a tiny country surrounded by enemies with more than enough missiles to reach MAD with Israel. Israel is not viable in a regional war the US can't defend their reactors as clearly and politely indicated by Iran's warning shot after the Damascus embassy bombing. Israel will be the most politely destroyed country in history I think.
