Has anyone else seen this Rick Steves clip? He basically argues that the phrase "Marg bar" is a common saying in Iran and they use it widely for things they don't like such as traffic, annoying people, etc. He argues that we in the West are actually over reacting to them saying "Death to America" because they don't actually mean it. I'm not Iranian so I have no idea, but is this even remotely close to true? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-CNuudRVLs

The Iraqi separatist Kurds were clearly not the right way to go about this, but how can that possibly be the only, let alone best chance, of getting weapons into Iran? Surely there’s other routes to accomplish that.

I would like to tell you all that neither the US nor Israel are working on building empires. Thus neither of them are planning to invade Iran and take it over. The US does not have in the area enough soldiers to invade Iran. Neither Israel has an army large enough to invade Iran. Trump, since coming back to presidency, has spoken about taking over some land to expand the country. He said that he wants Canada to become the 51st state. He also spoke about taking part of Greenland. But in the last month the government stated that they will not invade Canada as was planned. Israel has only one goal. It is to destroy the Islamic government of Iran to free the people. Trump jumped in to help after Israel gave him the details. He wanted the glory of saving the Iranian people and not for Israel have it. There was one thing that both needed to do: To give the people of Iran weapons to fight back against the IRGC. As proven about 3 weeks ago, when the IRGC was fired back on, they all ran away. They changed into civilian attire and escaped. I know that at least the US did send weapons. They sent a large quantity of weapons to the Kurds to pass on to the Iranian people. None reached the people, as it seems like the Kurds kept them. Israel had exact information about the meeting of the top butchers. They told the US about it and jumped in immediately. They destroyed the building in 10 minutes by dropping 8 bombs and killed the whole top of the government including the Ayatollah and his whole family. Plus they killed a lot more of them during the war. Both Israel and the US worked on the target of destroying the government so badly that the people would have the upper hand to destroy the government from inside. That did not happen. The only country that wants to build an empire in the area is Erdogan of Turkey. He wants to reestablish the Ottoman empire. The is why he is screaming about stopping to attack Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and the Houthis, plus the other terrorist organizations. He needs them to rebuild his empire. Israel, Greece and Cyprus signed an agreement a few months ago in preparation for a fight with Turkey.
