I hope you will join me in keeping a good thought for the people of Iran tonight.

[milestogo]

May they be safe from evil and destruction.

1. Absolutely

2. I've never wanted taco more than I do at this moment...

10. TACO suspended the attack

3. Salām bar mardom-e Irān ("Peace be upon the Iranian people" in Farsi) ☮️☮️☮️

Yes, I had to look it up to be sure. My memory of Farsi is largely limited to taxi driver directions--or I confuse phrases with Arabic, which I am a bit better with. )

[SheltieLover]

4. Absolutely!

5. I ache for the childre in Iran

They must be so scared and I cry for the people here who are forced to endure this craziness. Some of us have illnesses that are very affected by stress. This can't be easy for them.

[wendyb-NC]

6. Yes, absolutely

I can't imagine the terror they must be experiencing, from being bombed, loosing family, friends and innocent children in their communities. The US top leader threatening them in the horrific way he did is abominable. I pray that there will be a ceasefire and diplomacy will be possible. They did not deserve the terror, death and destruction of turnips illegal war.

[Trueblue Texan]

7. TSF has created multiple generations of terrorists threats.

What a sick F*ck. I hate that motherf*cker!

[56miSSie]

8. Yes

[NH Ethylene]

9. Seeing footage of people surrounding their infrastructure broke my heart.

Making a symbolic stand to fight or die.

[milestogo]

19. That is so heartbreaking.

[niyad]

11. May it be so for all in harm's way.

[Atreus]

12. Indeed.

I’ve been thinking about the people of Iran all day. I hope for their safety, peace, and the strength to get through whatever they may be about to face.

[usonian]

13. And may all the murdered little children come back to ....

haunt him throughout eternity.

20. It's times like these

when I wish I believed in eternal damnation.

[erronis]

14. A young friend went back to her parents in Iran after the first horrific bombing.

Now I hope she and her family are alive and can survive this insanity.

I've known many wonderful Iranians - Persians - over the years. They are among the most kind and intelligent people I have met. Of course there are ideologues and idiots everywhere, just like Miller, Trump, Hegseth, and others.

[paleotn]

15. Absolutely. Not only is Shitler losing the shooting war....

He's losing the hearts and minds of average Iranians. Those who aren't particularly fond of their own brutal regime, but sure as shit don't want to get bombed by ours. If anything, he's strengthen Tehran.

And all this blather about civilization destruction is just that. Insane rantings of a demented, old loser who's desperate to get out of the trap Bibi pushed him into. It will never work. It hasn't in the past and it won't now.

[MontanaMama]

16. All day every day.

I worry for Iranians. They don’t deserve the brutal government they had and they don’t deserve our insane brutality.

18. I have been and will continue.

There may be parts of the country that find Iranians (or Persians as many of them prefer) to be exotic and rare. Not so in Southern California. I’ve known many for decades. Our realtor is Persian. She moved to the US as a child. Her family flies back and forth regularly. She is American. Currently she is sick with worry for her family. My heart breaks for her. Eff these Republican monsters.

21. I am happy to join you

in sending love and peace to the people in Iran.
