Iranian kids have been chanting death to Israel and death to USA for 47 years now. They’ve been waiting for this.
In Iran's defence, in spite of being attacked repeatedly with chemical weapons, not once have they retaliated with chemical weapons. This is in line with their beliefs which was formalized into a fatwa by the late Khamenei against nuclear weapons.
I would call that taking a pretty principled stand at a time when it would have been very tempting to redefine them.
Do you know what Khomeini did to his fellow leftist who toppled the Shah?
As complete strangers they were invited into their homes to share dinner with family, with much post dinner merriment and singing and dancing. Note, my people were complete strangers to them, foreigners too. Some of my people were young men, they giggle and blush telling stories they were approached openly by women, no burqa in sight. These people still try to stay in occasional touch to this day.
Yes (many).
Yes. Also what US planted Shah's SAVAK did to his political opponents.
So what was your point again that you were presumably making, if any at all.
Ah I see. You took a random shot hoping it would stick and silence. Tsk tsk.
Maybe you are new here, those things don't work so well around here.
All Iranians reading this on HN, thank you for your generosity and hospitality. No one can top yours, seriously. Americans are generally friendly people, but Iranians really hit hospitality and show of heart out of the park.
