The revolt terrifies Western leftist outlets because it breaks the narrative they have maintained for forty-seven years—the narrative of the Islamic Republic as a flawed but authentic anti-imperialist project. Goldie Ghamari on Facebook, 9 January 2025.
hat is unfolding in Iran today is neither obscure nor ambiguous; it is visible, audible, and documented across the country, yet much of the Western media landscape treats it as though it were happening behind a fog. The reason is not lack of access, nor insufficient evidence—it is ideological resistance. Iran is witnessing a national reconquest, a moment in which a society openly rejects an entire ruling order and reclaims itself as a unified political nation. That reality collides directly with the interpretive habits of Western left-leaning media, which for nearly half a century have framed Iran through categories that no longer apply.
Over recent days, Iran has witnessed the largest nationwide protests since 2022, spreading across most of its provinces. These demonstrations go far beyond economic grievances or reformist demands. They reflect a broad and increasingly explicit rejection of the Islamic Republic as a governing system. The message emerging from the streets is clear: large segments of Iranian society are calling for an end to the Islamic republic. Reports from inside the country indicate that on December 8, demonstrations in Tehran and Mashhad were among the largest seen since 2009, with families present, including parents marching with children in strollers, a powerful sign of national confidence and unity rather than episodic unrest.
Across Iran, protests are taking place openly and persistently; videos circulate daily from Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, Yazd, and dozens of smaller cities. Crowds chant “Death to the dictator,” tear down regime symbols, and most strikingly, invoke a political alternative by name.

The left knows they could be rejected in the same manner.
The homosexuals and the women who seem to control the legacy media are oddly supportive of fundamentalist Islamic dictatorships.
That is certainly odd, especially from those groups.
Gee...people taking their coutnry back!!! You’d think that’s right up the Left’s street!
True that. The left hates it when people unite and say NO because they could be next to hear the N word. Unless, of course, they are in control of it all with their contrived rent a mobs, and phony media narrative.
Actually, the left just hates everything that would help America. Fully supports everything that is anti-Christian or anti-American by nature.
“Reducing the uprising to sanctions or living costs is therefore a profound misrepresentation. Yes, the Rial has collapsed, but this is not a bread riot. Economic collapse is the accelerant, not the cause. The cause is political illegitimacy built over decades of repression.”
Exactly.
Thanks for posting the article. The West ( liberal & conservative) has never understood Iran. Still doesn’t.
The World is changing. The Left is not and would rather gaslight audiences with tales of self defense being murder if they say it is so.
They consider the Iranian regime to be a "dictatorship of the proletariat" and an ally, regardless of its actual behavior. Any form of revolutionary government is preferable to them than a return to a male king.
A case in point for why Deep States want to bax X.
This isn’t about politicians in bikinis.
Which is the most bizarre thing ever. I mean, we see it in the Gaza Protests, “Queers for Palestine” I mean, they hate queers. And feminists for Palestine? Seriously? Women have very limited rights in Gaza and the West Bank.
We see this every decade there. Until the crowds are the size of 1979, nothing is changed.
Keep it simple.
The ONLY reason is that it may be ANOTHER Victory for Trump and the U.S.
Period.
😎
Leftist media can’t bear to show a RIGHTEOUS INSURRECTION against a corrupt power structure, lest it have implications for J6.
Hey Pres Trump, give the Iranian people WEAPNS: handguns, rifles, uzis, ... plus tons of ammo.
Put the weapons in B-2s and deliver to the people.
WEAPONS
Pahlavi is the only person who can lead Iran into the future.
Truth--truth for its own sake--the foundation of Western Civilization is abhorrent to these people as it conflicts with their narrative. That's why they hate Western Civilization and applaud its decay.
