This is the beginning of my new thread on the sub-topic of Trump and Netanyahu's war of aggression in Iran, the death of mass-murder culprit Khamenei and related, as well as the preceding widespread protests in Iran against the Iran-theocracy.

A clear stance against reactionism and inherited tyranny: We will not bow to sheikhs or religious leaders. The revolution of the Iranian people is a journey toward freedom, equality, secularism, and democracy. Attempts to restore the past and reestablish the monarchy are a betrayal of the principle of freedom. We will not choose between “bad and worse”; our preference is a rule by the people.

The Guardian view on Trump’s Iranian campaign: an illegal war that risks becoming the new normal
[...]
Force is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an “instant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared. What Donald Trump’s Operation Epic Fury looks like is not pre-emption but prevention: a decision to eliminate a future risk while an enemy appeared weak. It is a war of choice. Mr Trump’s call to overthrow a sovereign government was extraordinary.Unlike pre-emptive wars, preventive ones are deemed unlawful because they grant the powerful licence to strike at will. The distinction is important; it is why many European governments rejected Russia’s justification of its invasion of Ukraine by claiming to head off a future threat. Law cannot be optional for allies and binding only for adversaries. [...]

Not only the Iran-opposition "Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan" (KDPI/PDKI) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was bombed by the counter-revolutionary IRGC of the Iran-theocracy, but at least also at the "Kurdistan Freedom Party" (PAK) and Komala (I assume the "Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan", as there are several Komala parties, but from context...).

The counter-revolutionary military IRGC of the Iran-theocracy also bombed an arbitrary highway at Hewlêr/Erbil in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Very heroic.

The "Morality Police" of Tehran as well as the Gisha Police Station 137 were bombed.
Police are civilian in armed conflicts unless the rulers decide to use the police for military tasks within the armed conflict, which it can strongly argued the Iran-theocracy has chosen to do whereby they made also police valid military targets.

@b9AcE Guardian sucks , as always.
@Ciela Depends on what one compares them to. Compared to Reuters and AP, especially in the geographic area, I consider the Guardian to be very much better than them, but like... that's better than "should all be fired for gross incompetence or journalism ethics misconduct"-level for the geographic area coverage.
But that's just my opinion of course. -
