Yes I agree. But if communities consolidate their efforts by becoming partners then it benefits everyone. What if I had a question about the Iran-Contra Affair and was looking for an answer from an Iranian POV? and other such questions.

    I fail to to see why they should be brothers/sisters. Perhaps you can enlighten us?

    I mean if there are Iranian historians that can or wish to participate in historical groups they can choose to do so.

    I literally live in Iran, all of the information has sources, nothing to do with Israel, just because you hate Israeli or US governments doesn't mean Iran is the freest country in the world.

    Yeah they suck but not as much as double tap drone striking a school full of girls.

    Considering that the death toll for the murderous US war on Iran, including both soldiers and civilians, remains under the count for civilian deaths alone in the Islamic Republic's 2026 suppression of protests?

    Gonna go out on a limb and say two things can be bad at once, and "Whataboutism" regarding the murderous and imperialist US war and associated massacres does not give any sort of moral high ground to the Iranian government, neither in general nor on the specific topic of domestic abuse of women.

    The most documented form is the rape of virgin girls the night before their execution, rooted in a belief among prison officials that executing a virgin sent her to paradise, an outcome they wanted to deny her by having her raped first. https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20231206-rape-torture-used-to-silence-iran-s-mahsa-amini-protesters-amnesty-says

    To give the rape religious cover, officials would have the girl enter a “temporary marriage” (sigheh) with a guard or official the night before her execution, with a dowry, sometimes literally a box of sweets, sent to her family afterward. https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20231206-rape-torture-used-to-silence-iran-s-mahsa-amini-protesters-amnesty-says

    Words fail me.

    Irrelevant and whataboutism, you should either not start a war oryou should probably have real goals for a war and plan ahead and have enough intel to not bomb schools but however bad that is that is accidental. however in iran 15.0% of wives had been intentionally physically abused, 42.4% had been sexually abused and 81.5% had been psychologically abused (to various degrees) by their husbands, blaming low income, young age, unemployment and low education, according to a study in the city of babol, theres also a similiar article about isfahan. source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16761656/

    Unfun fact:

    NYC didn't have a law against it until Trump's lawyer Rudgy Ghoualani used that as a defense for trump beating and raping his wife when his hair plug surgery was too painful after he used her plastic surgery...

    And now he's president of America.

    Thank you for your comment. I hope you and your close ones are well.

    As someone coming from Eastern Europe, I can understand this hate well. Historically, communism has dismantled monarchism in a very violent way (and even this is putting it mildly).

    But the desperation now is so big that they need to unite against the common enemies in power, both in Iran and worldwide.

    The internet blackout has been at the front of my mind since it started. It's impossible to forget that we've lost an entire nation of people from our collective online culture. Gonna miss you, too. Stay safe.

    also fun fact is in the domestic intranet we Iranians are using the matrix protocol to communicate and share important content with each other, sorry to say it but matrix is pretty shit but it has been pretty useful for these times of emergency.
