i know a few Persians in my son's football club. One of them, a journalist, has fled the country and cannot go back. they all seem in favour of US intervention, or anything that will precipitate the end of the current Iranian government. I don't know how they feel at the moment, now that civilian infrastructures are now deemed legitimate targets (war crimes!)

I've also witnessed a group of Iranians celebrating in the streets, waiving Iranian and Israel flags, and seemingly pledging allegiance to the guy who's currently living in the US, the son of the previous ruler.

A few online commentators I follow are not necessarily pro Iran regime, but against the US aggression.

Confusing how exactly?

At first when the war started many expat Iranians who have chosen to live in the west were excited about the prospect of a more modern less traditional regime- probably because many who have moved to the west left for that reason.

But many Iranians especially those who remain in Iran are proud of their culture and history and independence won over the last 47 years since they removed the US puppet shah.

Since the hoped for uprising that was expected by many has failed to occur from within Iran and the regime there seems to remain in form control and since the escalating level of outright war crimes being perpetrated by the Israeli and US military more and more Iranians and people all over the world feel horrified about what is happening.

There is much we are not being told in western media like The greater Israel Project which Netenyahu supports and which aims to seize a large part of the Middle East to be under Israeli control, as allegedly promised by God in the Old Testament.
