    Yeah let’s not forget who they are, the people in power in Iran. Worst scum on earth.

      Not the worst scum, that honour goes to the leadership of Israel and the Western leaders supporting their genocide.

      And if you think Iran is the only country that executes people who send information to the enemy, you need to crack a history book

      it’s a shame that when scum fights scum there are so many innocent civilians who will suffer. there are no good guys in this. A little bully with rich parents picked a fight with a big bully and everything that can come out of this will suck.

        there are no good guys in this.

        There were no “good guys” in World War 2 either, and yet you don’t see people going around squealing “both sides were scum!” At anyone who supported the allied

        Agreed.

        I give preference to Iranian civilians because it’s a lot harder for them to relocate than it is for Israelis.

      Is it normal to allow people to send military information to your enemy?

      I’m not a huge fan of either of the two belligerent, but this is not exactly an unreasonable position to take. And they are at least putting reporters on notice.

        I mean if they really just wanted to make sure military information doesn’t reach Israel they wouldn’t impose the death penalty; the excessive punishment makes it clear this is going to be used to suppress unrelated dissent.

          Information flow can never go backwards. There’s plenty of examples of reporters or even social media compromising military operations. In at least a few cases, it has lead to the destruction of military assets. Once broadcast, the damage is done.

          Trying to force reporters to think hard about what they are broadcasting is a good thing, from the point of view of national defence.

        If it’s a dictatorship I’d say yes because they are (also) the enemy.

        I’m also against the death penalty in general, but especially for scaring your own citizens into obedience.

          Yeah, apparently murder is supposed to be used for scaring foreign citizens into obedience, based on what liberals say

        Whataboutism is for blaming USA when the Russians have done something bad, not the iranians or Israelis 🤷🏼‍♀️.
