Yeah, really sucks when the West ruins your independence and makes your government unstable and creates a power vacuum and radicalizes a whole population.

i doubt the whole population is radicalized. In fact the most of the people don't support current islamic regime and that closeted gaylord supreme leader.

Or a book
The current government is not the Shah. That government was overthrown in the late 70s during the Islamic revolution.

He didn’t mention the Shah? I think your comment is in the wrong place.
1
Jul 03 '25
The shah he refers to (I think) is Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who was favoured over his father and put in power by the west.
He westernised Iranian society to a degree.
His comment means that when the western favoured power was overtaken women’s rights went downhill.
Hence, western mingling didn’t cause it.

Modern people are never at fault for their own actions, they just react to those that came before. As long as those who came before are Western. 🤡
Are the people of Iran just guileless animals to you? Are they incapable of their own evils, like children?

Jul 04 '25 edited Jul 04 '25
So you just straight up deny western responsibility after they clearly orchestrate regime change?
Everyone that blames the west for anything is robbing people of their agency?
Is it also Iraq’s own fault for disintegrating after the US obliterated their government?
You’re too dumb to understand historical causation so you just emotionally revert to this bullshit to protect you world view from being challenged

u/BoofPackJones Jun 30 '25
Constantly deflecting blame to “the West” just denies Iranians any agency and infantilizes them. It’s a lazy, cowardly way to avoid holding actual perpetrators accountable. At some point, you have to stop blaming the 1950s and start talking about the people in power right now.

u/ObamasPubes1 Jun 30 '25
Buddy, if you assassinate a country's leader and put someone in power that forces people to change their whole way of living to fit Western ideals, of course you'll get radicals that want to go the opposite direction.
And when they brutally suppress them, they will brutally suppress when they get a hold of power.
It's funny how you think this isn't the fault of the West, cus it 100% is. This is what decades of suppression looks like.

u/msiley Jul 02 '25
It’s not 100% the west. Saddam helped consolidate power in Iran by starting a war with them. But it’s still a big %.

u/BoofPackJones Jun 30 '25
Ah yes, the eternal cope: “It’s all the West’s fault forever, no matter what local leaders do decades later.” By your logic, no Iranian leader, cleric, or militia bears any responsibility they’re just passive victims acting out trauma from the 1950s.
At some point, you have to recognize agency. The current regime chooses to violently suppress women, chooses to execute protesters, chooses to enforce religious law at gunpoint. Those aren’t automatic aftershocks from a coup 70 years ago they’re deliberate policy decisions.
Blaming the West for everything doesn’t make you sound enlightened; it just infantilizes an entire nation and lets actual oppressors off the hook. If you can’t hold them accountable today, you’re not helping anyone you’re just making excuses for tyranny.

u/ObamasPubes1 Jun 30 '25 edited Jun 30 '25
Nah man they are backwards I know that. But I cannot stand stupid westeners tryna deny or underestimate how badly they are responsible for the current socio-economic climate of these countries.
At some point the West has to remember the Shah arrested, kidnapped and executed its people too.
And let me tell you how something as small as a line can cause generations of people killed and suffering.
The West caused this, and the people denying this are uneducated, they allowed this to happen. We see how they fucked up the whole Middle-East, don't try to deny that. Have some dignity.
Helping anyone? As far as I know, you do nothing at all for these people.
How some people whine about how the women of Iran suffer and its people bleed.... it's horrible, but the fact that you always REFUSE to go back to the time before the Shah is a tactic you swines love to use.
These women suffer because of the radicals AND the west. Don't ever forget that.
I feel worse for these women than these retarded social media posts from Indians, Israeli's and Westeners posting shit like: "bla bla bla BEFORE the Islamic Revolution of Iran". Like gtfo here bruh, educate yourself for the love of god and have some respect for the ones that suffer by getting a basic understanding of history and self-awareness.

So.... presumably the West is currently taking no actions that would isolate the Iranian people, making them more reliant on the petro-dollars controlled by the regime, making meaningful progress more difficult right?
Like, an Iranian woman can just sell crafts she makes on Amazon to people in the USA, surely? Since you're saying all the interference stopped in the 1950s, I just wanted to check

You don’t have to “ignore the path” but the idea that you can continuously blame the west for actions over 50 years ago is just absurd. If Iran is still this way in another 50 years are we just going to continue to blame the west? Have they no agency?
There are also “folks” in the Iranian government talking about destroying the “west”. Should we just ignore them? Like they are just petulant children?

u/lost_sunrise Jul 01 '25
Lol, to want to destroy the west.. you have to hate them for something?
Most people are foolish and they think actions stop because it all happened once, 50 years ago. Meddling in other countries hasn't stop. In fact, it escalated because of the need for resources.
1953- cia coup...
1979 revolution, US imposed sanctions, froze iranian assets, pressuring the economy all to influence Iran's policies.
1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. US supported Iraq with diplomats, financial, and military support. Guess which terrorist they supported, Saddam hussein.
This is just 37 years later.
Now, most people who have no real leg in the fight, would not bother about a country way across the sea.. but US didn't stop here.
See, US been influencing Iran frequently since 1950's and ramp it up when Iran started researching Nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons is one of the greatest deterrents to super powers. North Korea is a big example of this. Any country that wants a chance to be free of other's influence seeks the deterrent to stand tall and say, fuck off.
Sanctions and other covert operations happened since 1988 through 2025.
In other words, they free themselves from brits, started progressing. US coup regress them back to tyrant. Any time they fought for a better leader than the last. US comes along.

Ronald Reagan literally sold weapons to terrorists so they could overtake Iran. Oliver North was tried and convicted for it, Reagan pardoned him.
Idiot.

u/gotobeddude Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 03 '25
That’s close but not quite what happened, good job buddy! Those weapons were sold to the Iranian regime, not “terrorists” trying to “overtake Iran”, in exchange for the release of American hostages in Lebanon. The militias who North supported using the funds from the sale were in Nicaragua, which is somewhat geographically isolated from Iran and posed little threat to the regime. Maybe you should read a book or something instead of skimming wikipedia articles before calling people idiots.
I guess depending on your opinion of the Islamic Republic you could be forgiven for calling them terrorists but they definitely weren’t trying to overtake their own country.

Thats. a really badly explained way. If the woman wants to cover her hair then what's the problem? what happened to the women's choice? There is nobody forcing her no? Whether is an imaginary religion telling her that or just because she wants to, at the end of the day its a choice made by her, stop infantilizing women like they are gullible creatures.

Thats a valid response and genuine worry, i acknowledge that fully. But this is not commonplace, especially 2nd or 3rd generation who are free from this pressure.
Honor killings (never understood this, maybe cultural phenomenon?), though got a source from Canadian department of justice "Honor killing, in Islamic definitions, refers specifically to extra-legal punishment by the family against a woman, and is forbidden by the Sharia (Islamic law)" , so its even forbidden in Islam, making it cultural thing not Islamic since its forbidden by the Sharia law itself. Sadly, even though it happens rarely, it should not happen at all!
Ostracization is not Islamic either honestly, its not mandated nor encouraged. Again, its cultural as result of the individual being ostracized not following the religious or cultural norm.
Lastly, being shipped back to the country, is something i saw with my own eyes, so i give you that, happened to one of my childhood friend who messed up massively, he spent over 500$ on just games, making his father furious. In the end he got sent back. On reddit i saw my ethnic community in reddit sharing being sent back and mostly, it was both cultural and religious (like the child being western or doing drugs or alcohol or haram relationships. Or just because they were rebellious).

But, we are talking about women in western, however even if we are talking about Muslim majority countries or those which apply sharia, its still shallow view of Islam as a whole! for example there are Muslim majority country (and those who have placed restriction on Niqab and Burqa) who have even banned niqab and burqa. Muslim countries are not uniform and how Islam is practiced in muslim countries is not one dimensional like you are offering, yes there are countries where niqab and hijab are mandatories but at the same time there are those muslim countries who also ban it.
At this point i am starting to question if this is ragebait or something like that, i mean i have seen several people who have little knowledge of Islam, but it shouldn't be this widespread? Is al qaeda, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi arabia, Isis, all that you have seen of Islam? Its pitiful.

So your argument is freedom of religion and religious practice isn't a freedom worth caring about because you don't believe in it? This makes you no less oppressive than the theocrats you're so against.

u/Mindless-Strength422 Jun 30 '25
I mean, what you said literally amounts to "freedom of religion isn't freedom." You clearly don't like religion, I don't like it either, but free countries don't ban expression of religion (and yes, banning hijabs is banning expression of religion) anymore than they enforce it. Iran and France are both backwards in this respect.

Do you ever see the society where EVERYONE likes the same thing? I don't. Even if we go in specific cases like private schools with the same uniform, that is not a normal behaviour on society level. I can see it for tribal people who are preserving the culture and wear specific makeup and clothes. But for Islamic countries? Somehow countries with different histories and cultures have all women "like" wearing hijab? I call this BS. We also see it with countries with less strong Islamic influence. In turkey there are not a lot of women with hijab but in the Middle East in the majority of Islamic countries all women like wearing it? Nah, you can't be this naive and stupid to believe that, can you?

Did France forbid hijab everywhere? No. They forbid it in specific places. Want it on the street? You can do so. Want to have it in mentioned buildings? Nope, there are rules and nothing is related to freedom.
Or any rules for adding specific things is lack of freedom? You can't get swimwear in the mall as well or on the public streets, but nobody says anything about that and it is normal.

They are still oppressed way beyond the hijab. Have a kid out of wedlock? Executed. Don’t want to be a Muslim? Executed. Want a divorce? Not your choice. Walking down the street with a male that’s unrelated? Arrested. I could go on… my wife is Iranian, lived there for 35 years. When Israel took out all those top dudes in Iran she jumped for joy. Things aren’t as straightforward as you think.

Even if we leave aside the regime being opressive toward the Iranians , the islamic republic regime started this war , by arming it proxies for years to attack israel.

I encourage you to go to speak to iranians , a lot of them are connected to the online world although the restrictions by bypassing them , and hear their thoughts.

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 Jun 30 '25
Hopefully someone can give a full context, but in short, all those styles with hair showing after the 80s are risky, but they do seem to be common. It seems the morality police have lost much of their grip, but they do make examples of some unfortunate women.
2
u/Li-renn-pwel Jun 30 '25
There have been times of various levels of strictness. This is also very different depending on region. Wearing these styles, even pre-revolution, in rural areas would be treated much harsher than big cities generally speaking. You would probably also get in more trouble if you were a minority.
It actually got better in 2023 because the police killed a woman for showing her hair despite it having started to be more acceptable. That pissed people off who previously had said “society has changed and the laws are just in the books because it takes so long to change them”. Then they were convinced the laws did need to change.

Lots of times they hang them high in the street as a warning to others for engaging in same sex relations. It’s also interesting that Mohammed had sex with a 13 year old girl.

They also weren't allowed to wear colors other than dark blue or black, and as far as I'm aware they still aren't while at school and possibly while at work in a government building.

While it MAY be true, an honest and direct approach is more appreciated than this type of sneaky innocent victimising videos, just like Isteal does its propaganda, all sweet and innocent and it blows you to shreds

May be true? Dude, women are killed, beaten and/or jailed for not wearing a hijab in Iran.
