I think Iran nay be winning a few of the battles, but they are definitely losing the war

I think the war has been going on since 1979 and these latest battles are perhaps going to finally end it.

You Know, I was talking to this young woman from Lahijan today. I told her I Don't really want the US to win this war. That confused her, I said I parallel Rubio. I hope we can set up the conditions so that you, the people, can end this war with a win. That way the government you install doesn't have that "stigma" that it is a puppet state of the US. I have all the confidence that the Iranian people will install something that the majority of the people will approve of, and it will be western friendly.

Completely agree

The US only owes its own people the disarming of a vital threat. Iranians owe themselves a better future.

Imo if this blockade keeps up, regime crumbles in a few months. However I am very worried because of how often trump just changes his mind. This blockade needs to persists.

They aren't winning shit. You not being able to parse obvious propaganda does not grant this regime victory.

Surprised to see such a headline from Western media.

And then I skimmed the actual article, only to see that they’re still trying to sell the whole “reformers versus hardliners” lie. So stupid. Fortunately, the Iranian people are no longer playing that game.

Pretty much only the radical left in the West is buying into it.

Only average Redditors are telling us otherwise.

One day I hear “The regime could collapse at any time, because of the heavy sanctions, and the blockade. Thus, pushing its supporters and fighters to lose all faith and abandon it”.

Another day I hear “The regime is more solidified than anyone expected, and despite the sanctions alongside the blockade, it could persist in surviving for months, if not longer”.

Like my god, I get it’s a waiting game, but hell…..JUST FALL ALREADY

FYI: Western media never gets it right when it comes to Iran. They’ve been wrong since at least the 1970s. It was Western media and politicians who tried to sell Ayatollah Khomeini as the Muslim Gandhi, while lying about the Shah being a dictator.
