    More like antihero. Iran regime is evil, plain and open. But in this evil vs evil conflict they are the underdogs. In sheer military strength it’s not even a close match. They are making do with what they have and hitting the bigger evil where they can hurt.

      The “bigger evil” eh? The US is the one who killed 10 thousand+ protesters? And the US is the one where women are beaten to death in the streets for showing their faces? Where LGBTQ people worry about a lot more than “can I play sports or use a public restroom?”

      Lemmy has gone stupid over Iran. The two aren’t even close. Iran isn’t a “hero” in any sense of the word.

        The bloodthirsty regime in Iran is not a “hero” in any word indeed. Nor is the US that has engaged in this unjustified aggression and early on killed a school full of pupils. As it stands I don’t know how large the blood toll is, likely the Iranian regime has still more blood of its own people on its hands, but the US is working on getting there. Let’s see how long this 3 days special military operation will take.
