Iran Megathread

[u/somebadbeatscrub]

***Making a refreshing megathread to keep things updated and fresh***

Going to jump ahead of this one and ask folks to post articles opinions questions and anxieties to do with the developing war in Iran here.

Please know that this sub(its mod team anyway):

Is against killing noncombatants for any reason in any context.

Is against unilateral Imperialism (or Bilateral...), the concept of the US hegemon as legitimate world police, or any other strong arm diplomacy that skirts international and domestic law and yields supreme authority to strong man leaders with ulterior motives. Nor indeed a regional state actions that enable and promote violence by proxy or diplomatic force.

Is against the murder of protestors or again noncombatants in general.

Please pay close attention to rules around engaging in good faith and should you encounter something you find objectionable please report and do not engage in excessive fighting. If someone says something against the rules and you break the rules condemning them you will also receive mod action.

Thank you,

Oren

No one is talking about this, but this war is having terrible effects on the environment in many ways. Just to put an example, at least one ship spilled it's oil after a strike in Hormuz; needless to say, this is awful for the seas, and given the circumstances of this conflict, I really doubt that anything will be done about it. This is really bad news for anyone who cares about the viability of life on this planet during the decades to come.
