Do you really have anything to support your stance? Or just naysaying for your only post on this thread? What is your unstated hypothesis? Or do you have one?

What do you think is oppressing the Iranians / Persians?

Army?
Big Biz?
Atheists?
Scary clown posses?

Do you know what role the Supreme Leader in Iran plays? Look it up before you reply with your hypothesis.

Oh please...
