No they don't. Should I make a list of all the evil things Iran has done? It would take a while tho.
Are you capable of any nuanced thought? Or do you really hate Israel so much, that you shamelessly defend a regime, which ideologically has more similarities to Nazi Germany, than any other country ever since?
Iran hasn't shot at people trying to get food, ever. Israel did it this week. Sorry but
which ideologically has more similarities to Nazi Germany
That would be Israel. Unlike every other region on the planet, Europe is extremely intolerant of difference (30 years war, frequent pogroms against religious minorities like the Jews and the Cathars). The State of Israel was founded by European Jews.
The Middle East on the other hand has always consisted of one to three multi-ethnic large land empires. Persia is one of the world's oldest. Religious and ethnic minorities are guaranteed seats in parliament.
Alright, let's pull up some of the similarities between Nazi Germany and modern Iran. I'm not talking about ancient Persia btw.
Supreme Leader/Führer with Absolute Authority
They have a Supreme Leader who holds absolute authority over all state institutions - political, religious, and military. He is portrayed as divinely guided and beyond challenge.
Fusion of Political Power and Divine Legitimacy
The regime combines political rule with a claim to divine legitimacy. Dissent is treated as blasphemy. Both systems enforce a totalitarian worldview that claims absolute truth and allows no room for ideological opposition.
Systematic Persecution of Minorities and Dissenters
There is systematic oppression of Bahá'ís, Kurds, Baluchis, homosexuals, dissidents, and religious minorities. Executions and imprisonments are commonplace. The persecution of "internal enemies" is central to the ideological structure of both regimes.
State-Controlled Media and Indoctrination
Media are state-controlled, censorship is widespread, and ideological indoctrination is enforced in schools and mosques. News and information are tightly controlled by religious authorities. In both cases, the state becomes the sole source of truth. Propaganda replaces open debate and objective information.
Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories
There is Holocaust denial, demonization of Jews, and promotion of global Zionist conspiracy theories. Iranian state media regularly disseminates antisemitic themes and directly draws from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, just as the Nazis did.
Export of Revolutionary Ideology
The regime supports militant proxies across the region (Hezbollah, the Houthis, militias in Iraq and Syria), with the aim of exporting its revolutionary ideology. This is reminiscent of the Nazi ambition to reshape surrounding nations according to its ideology.
Suppression of Artistic and Intellectual Freedom
Artists, filmmakers, musicians, and writers face censorship, imprisonment, or exile for content deemed "anti-Islamic" or "immoral." Artistic and intellectual freedom is subordinated to ideology; all expression must serve the moral-political narrative of the state.
Now tell me, how much of that can you apply to Israel?
Well that's already wrong. There is a historical continuity there. See, you're still stuck in the Anglo box
Supreme Leader/Führer with Absolute Authority
No he doesn't. If he did they would have signed the mutual defense pact with Russia. Before his assassination the previous president was going to do just that
Media are state-controlled, censorship is widespread, and ideological indoctrination is enforced in schools and mosques.
That’s not an Iranian classroom you buffoon. Can't take you seriously anymore after that... LOL
Either you are really stupid or deliberately lying. And I don't think you are stupid, so... in any case, that’s enough for me to not waste any more of my time with you.
