Because they've been engaged in an unending war for 50 years.
Iran didn't start this war, Israel did and dragged Trump along by the nose.
So forget the 47 years of suffering of the millions of average Iranian women at the hands of fanatical clerics who think women, your mothers, daughters, and sisters are subhuman animals to be used and abused by men?
The hypocrisy is thick...
The hypocrisy is thick because you nor your government give a rat's ass about the women in that country, nor in Afghanistan where you left that vile mess and where women are now the most abused in the world.
Keep your sympathies for the incarcerated women raped by ICE, with the women in some of your states where women have no dominion over their bodies, and where pastors like that Wilson guy want to strip women of their human and voting rights and whom Hegseth kisses his feet.
And there it is. Now we're making it a personal attack against another member. Not gonna fly here.
You might assume the desires and motivations of a government without cause, but not an individual. You are not them, and have nary a clue as to what they may or may not "give a rat's ass" about.
There are no states, at least not in the US, where "women have no dominion over their own bodies". None. Not a single one, anywhere in the US. That is a claim with neither proof nor evidence, and indeed there cannot be any such evidence, much less proof. Because it's not there. Oh, the Left TRIED to remove that dominion during the covid scare, but they were not successful. At least they were equal opportunity totalitarians about it - they tried to remove EVERYONE'S dominion over their own bodies, both male and female.

I was accused of hypocrisy first and then Omega caught that fact. You might want to chastise the other member as well.
I responded in kind because there certainly is hypocrisy in your government and laws (abortion banned) and now aggressive military actions in the Middle East.
I am anti-war and I will call out the illegality, self-serving elitist goals, and ulterior motives that I see with Israel and the USA in that region.
I posted International Law giving Iran the right to defend itself and under which circumstances.
Most of the world and the majority of Americans agree with my stance on this war.
Truth fears no question. Anon
