You are pro Iran. Could you summarize what your main points are here? I'm genuinely interested. Since joining this site, I've become less and less of a cautious, scared little lurker and I find myself actively seeking out people with wildly different views (even racists) because I know a discussion will not delve into a witch hunt. I feel comfortable and more confident learning about different perspectives here and commenting whatever I feel is necessary. Looking forward to your thoughts!

I am pro-Iran because I admire the commitment of the Iranian regime in upholding Islamic traditions and values (and resisting the imposition of modern Western values like feminism and gay rights), their support for anti-Zionist and anti-Wahhabi groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis, and for developing their own technological and industrial capabilities in the face of global sanctions and economic warfare (Iran is one of the few Muslim countries that has developed its own nuclear program, missile program, aerospace and satellite program, etc). Those are some of the major reasons why I am strongly pro-Iran.

That's all really interesting. You make me want to look into that alot more. Do you think there's benefits to openly accepting the imposition of feminism and gay rights (be it culture or money), and has Iran stood to miss out on opportunities these would grant them?

Or do you think western civilizations simply use these things as ploys to appease the "sheep" to better control them and profit off of them by pandering to them? As I speculate that myself, it seems the latter is definitely the least honorable avenue to take.
