Leftists will try to say

“I don’t support the Iranian government”

Except actions matter more than words and your actions say otherwise.

You protest when Iranian government officials are assassinated (see the assassination of Qasem Soleimani which btw was the ONLY good thing Trump has ever done in his life, leftists condemned it).

You imply that no action should be taken against them and that the Islamic republic should be appeased (see the protests against sanctions and support for a nuclear deal).

You dismiss or ignore Iranians who oppose their own government and refuse to support any opposition group (tell me one opposition group you support. Oh wait you can’t because you support none).

Unless you call for every single mullah to be hanged and for all theocrats (anyone who advocates for religion in politics) to be treated the exact same way neo-Nazis are, you don’t oppose the Iranian government.

I’m not advocating for a Bush-style intervention, that would be a disaster obviously. But at the very least, countries should put pressure on the Iranian government.
