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 status quo is about to change. Russia, Europe, Cuba, and China are going to be hit with a major shift in access to oil. As Venezuela and Iran are about to be freed, BRICS will be brought to their knees. Trump has masterfully changed the calculus of world power with 2 simple operations.
Thanks to the mullas stupidity of not providing the basic infrastructure of water and food, Iran is facing revolution by its population. This is by far the biggest capture of oil reserves and check on OPEC. Next will be Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait. OPEC must be dissolved for the world economy’s to survive.
Obviously you have been watching only major media.
The Trump Revolution, to make America great again, is also a nation reclaiming itself without apology, something leftists struggle to interpret and abhor when they do, inasmuch as it conflicts with their ideology and objectives. This is another reason they underrate the Iranian uprising.
“That is certainly odd, especially from those groups.”
Yet they hate Christians. It’s as if they’d rather be stoned or thrown off a tall building than have their souls prayed for.
It would only be good karma to do our best to provide these modern rebels the firearms they need to shoot back at the Revolutionary Guard who's been mowing them down.
The left must be in a conundrum. They hate the mullahs because they are religious and hate LGBTQ folks. Yet, if the mullahs fall then Palestine will loose their money spigot, and the Jews will “win”. The left would HATE that.
I guess they can just start sending the Palis all of their own money. LOL
Whatever real Persian freedom looks like, the Leftists will not approve.
On a side note, if both of the oil rich Venezuelan and Persian people start to produce more of their own oil, the Left will have more Globull Climate Hoax seizures.
As El Rush-Bo often said, the free flow of petroleum at market prices brings more modernity* and freedom. Inexpensive and abundant energy equals more freedom. Except in places like the People’s Republic of Kalifornia, gasoline prices have plummeted.
Every time a Leftist hears the word “freedom” they need more lithium.
*modernity - air conditioning, refrigeration, heat in the winter. The Left despises hydrocarbons, except when they need to keep their ice cream well-stocked.
Persia can become Christian—preferably Orthodox Christian!! Lord have mercy!
