How sad, poor old Iran.
'The Imperial State of Iran, the government of Iran during the Pahlavi dynasty, lasted from 1925 to 1979. During that time two monarchs — Reza Shah Pahlavi and his son Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi — employed secret police, torture, and executions to stifle political dissent.'
As many as 30,000 protesters may have been killed by Iranian security services earlier this month, on 8 and 9 January alone. This was an unprecedented display of brutality, even by the standards of the Islamic Republic. Even more striking still has been the muted response in the West. Anti-government protesters are fighting for freedom, democracy and against religious tyranny. Many of those bravely battling against the regime are women, desperate to overthrow harsh Islamic strictures, including forced veiling.
So where is the solidarity from Western ‘feminists’ and ‘progressives’?https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/01/26/western-feminists-are-worse-than-useless-for-iranian-women/
They are kvetching about "between 1925 and 1979".
