Oxford (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – Today, 11 February, marks the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and coincidentally, it also marks the 15th anniversary of the ousting of Hosni Mubarak after 30 years of oppressive rule. There were some other uprisings during what came to be known as the Arab Spring, which resulted in the ousting of ruling dictators. Undeterred, Iranian leaders, after the terrible carnage in January this year, are making big plans to celebrate the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

- Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet United States President Donald Trump at the White House today.
- In the Gaza Strip, Israeli air attacks and artillery shelling continue while the seventh group of patients and wounded individuals returned via the Rafah crossing.
- Israeli army raids have continued across Hebron in the occupied West Bank, with several Palestinians suffocating from tear gas fired by the forces.
- Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 72,045 people and wounded 171,686 since October 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and about 250 were taken captive.
حملهٔ آمریکا و اسرائیل به ایران
این پرسشی
است که بسیاری از سیاستمدارن در شرق و غرب در حال تجزیه و تحلیل آن هستند. با کامل
تاسف اکثر ایرانیانی که از این رژیم آدمکش و دزد کلافه شدهاند، وابسته به اهداف
دول خارجی میباشند، و از حملهٔ نیروهای نظامی خارج از مرزهایشان حمایت میکنند.
در خارج از ایران، کسانی که به ترامپ برای این حمله فشار میآورند، نتنیاهو و سایر
صهیونیستها میباشند. با داشتن یک نیروی نظامی قوی، و مساحت جغرافیایی گسترده، کشور
ایران مانعی بر سر راه دولت اسرائیل برای رسیدن به یک هدف و یا یک آرزوی چند دههای، یعنی ارتقأ آن به عنوان بزرگترین دولت خاورمیانه میباشد. در نتیجه کشور
ایران میبایست تسخیر، و سپس چند تکه شود تا هیچوقت نتواند به عنوان نیروئی در مقابل
اسرائیل قد علم کند. از طرف دیگر، دولت ایران تنها دولتی در خاورمیانه است که از خلق
فلسطین پشتیبانی میکند. بنابراین، عدم وجود کشوری چون ایران، برای اسرائیل به عنوان
قویترین دولتِ حامیِ غرب در خاورمیانه، حیاتی است.ا

(The Conversation) – Anti-government protests in Iran have killed thousands of people. The relative calm in the country today was imposed by force. Protests that began over economic collapse quickly evolved into an overt political uprising, as chants moved from demands for survival to outright rejection of the regime.

( The New Arab ) – Dystopian images emerged from Iran in mid-January: families searching body bags for loved ones, smoke-choked streets and unverified footage of unarmed guards beaten or protesters cut down. On January 17, US President Donald Trump seized on the moment, publicly calling for an end to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 37-year reign.

براندازی
یکی از آرزوهای کلیهٔ ایرانیانی که خارج از ایران
زندگی میکنند، البته بغیر از وابستگان به دولت آخوندی، همواره تغییر رژیم اسلامی
بوده است. گرچه بطور دقیق مشخص نیست که چه تعدادی از ایرانیان در خارج از ایران
زندگی میکنند، ولی بین چهار تا هشت میلیون نفر تخمین زده شدهاند. جمعیت مردم
ایران نزدیک به نود و سه میلیون نفر است. در زمان انقلاب این جمعیت بیش از یک سوم
امروز بود، که با اینکه خمینی پس از به دست گرفتن قدرت، یعنی نیروهای نظامی و پلیس،
کشتار وسیعی از کسانی که با رژیم اسلامی او موافق نبودند کرد، این جمعیت همواره
رو به افزایش بوده است. به این ترتیب میتوان
تعداد ایرانیان را حدود صد میلیون نفر تخمین زد. وابستگان و جیرهخواران رژیم
اسلامی در ایران حدس زده میشود که بیش از دو سه میلیون، و حد اکثر پنج میلیون،
نباشند. بنابراین، میتوان نتیجه گرفت که نود و پنج درصد ایرانیان از دولتی که در
این کشور حکومت میکند ناراضی هستند و در پی برانداختن رژیم اسلامی میباشند.ا
