Fact1: Iran executed tens of thousands of citizens over political opposition since the start of this year, and is still executing others today. Fact2: Iran has cut off its population from the internet.

Can you find equivalent facts from USA to justify the parallels you are drawing?

Fact1: USA was founded on a genocide, with an actual legal proceeding to establish that indigenous people had no soul and no rights (Valladolid controversy). Fact2: USA employed slavery for centuries and later replaced it with "wage slavery", and actually never abolished slavery for convict, leading to the highest carceral population in the entire world. Fact3: The USA has broken most of its peace treaties (first and foremost with indigenous nations) and annexed all its neighbors (Texas, Puerto Rico, Haiti, etc).

That's just scratching the surface. Please note i'm not defending the Iranian government which is monstruous. I'm arguing the USA government is just as monstruous. And nothing will ever justify a country attacking a foreign nation. Remember when attacking Iraq and Afghanistan was supposed to liberate their peoples? See how that turned out.

Your "facts" proved my point.

Classic whataboutism. Maybe we can take turns and go back and forth with an atrocity committed by either nation?

Let's start with the systemic suppression of Black Americans, starting with slavery, then Jim Crow and segregation, then the systematic destruction of Black political power by branding Black organizations as terrorists, then the CIA pushing drugs in Black-heavy districts across the country.

Classic nonsense. You can also start with Colombus, but at the current time your government is not restricting your internet access so that you can express your opinions, and is not executing you for these opinions either.
