Comment on Melbourne Celebration for end of the Ayatollah

Certainly not shedding a single tear for the regime, but it remains to be seen how positive this will be for the people Iran long-term.
If I’m not mistaken, the current regime was able to take power in the first place on the back of a movement against the Shah, who US/UK installed via coup.
Who knows what would have ended up happening if the US hadn’t meddled in the first place, but the point remains that the US shares a large part of the blame for creating the conditions that brought about the current regime.
Fingers crossed there is a silver lining here :/ Hopefully a genuine grassroots/workers movement can seize this opportunity to bring about something positive.

Oh yeah, the US absolutely fucked it up and I feel bad for the Iranians who have had to live with the consequences for so long, I also agree, I wouldn’t have liked to have seen this until there was a credible opposition that could move in and quickly settle things
The Basij as well unless we see a large amount of them switch sides could be a HUGE headache
