How can that not be blatantly evident ?

I'm just curious. I've gotten into some arguments, and once again, I don't know where sentiment falls.

1. Ahmadinejad. Is he a mad jew-hater who is out to destroy israel, or is he a strictly defensive player, keeping his country out of a possibly nuclear war?

2. The Islamic Republic. Is it an oppressive dictatorship that we should overthrow or just a different way of doing things and we should mind our own business?

3. Iran. Is the overall plan of self-sufficiency a plausible economic goal? Or is this the making of a new Nazi Germany, and the only solution is to pull Iran back into the Global economy?

4. Nukes. Is it about power, so they can sell the oil and not burn it, about having a bomb so we won't invade, or do they plan to nuke someone, or bully people with nukes?

5. Any thoughts outside the little boxes above? I just summarized those as the majority opinions that I hear. there's no right or wrong answer.

There are Iranians here, and there are in CA near my brother, and we're hearing totally different things both from Iranians and others. Just looking for a sentiment collection

Ps. Anyone see the thing on the sentiment aggregator proving twice as accurate at intelligence information as the CIA?

Witness footage from ongoing protests in Iran, shows Iranian forces opening fire on demonstrators and hitting some of them. Whenever I receive footage like this, my first question is: "Is it fake?" However, that doubt is quickly put to rest as a rifle round can be seen impacting the wall mere inches from the cameraman.

According to BBC, at least 348 protesters have been killed and 15,900 others have been arrested by security forces on behalf of Iranian leadership. The protests began three months ago when 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died while in the custody of Iranian Islam enforcement. She was arrested for not wearing a hijab.

The Iranian regime is claiming the protests are nothing more than foreign-backed unrest.
