I just realized that I've not seen this thread in a while. Has there been any major updates.

Kurds are now in open rebellion after deadly attacks against them, burning cars in the capital's streets and throwing rocks at the police.

Oh, sorry, that's France.

In Iran itself doesn't seem to be anything new, just stuff simmering on as it has, government clamp down on any reporting outside social media word of mouth makes it difficult to really know how extensive and dangerous the protests are, though they are definitely widespread.

Outside of Iran there was a big demonstration in Berlin drawing in members of the Iranian (especially Kurds) from all over Europe, I think it was about 80 000 people, back in December.

The clash kind of reminds me the violent protest in Myanmar, which had junta related violent clamp downs 3 times in the last 3 decades. At least in term of the length of the protest is pretty similar to Myanmar. Also how the authoritarian government has a strong hold on the army and part of the security force and some core profitable business but much less so to other part of the society.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

yeah again, i dont think this goes away, but its not gonna be some quick implosion, its gonna be some slow implosion as the regime creates more martyrs which will create more protests.

Oil refinery in northern Iran on fire as well. Seems extremely likely that Israel is actively discouraging Iran from exporting weapons, but Bibi will also kick that dog whenever he thinks no one is really paying attention :shrug:;

Iran and Saudi Arabia have restored diplomatic relations and opened embassies following four days of talks in China.

Maybe they were able to put aside differing views on Yemen by concentrating on similar views on women?

Don't you need to build a national data base first? If Iran has done that the west would be 10x times freaked out for that.

Yeah but that would be pretty trivial to set up if they have a national photo ID, which I assume they do.

They have traffic cameras and if they catch a woman in a car with uncovered hair then they will send the car's owner a warning message. The second time they threaten to confiscate the car.
