That will be the Iranian regime that has fermented terrorism and war for decades, have recently slaughtered thousands of thousands of Iranians for protesting, with allegations of extreme torture (including gang rape of women, who had their uteruses ripped out and their dead bodies mailed to family members), hanging of gay people from cranes and women imprisoned for clothing.
Does this mean I think the current military action is wise? No. We don’t know how this will spiral, Trump is an idiot and neither he or Netanyahu are motivated by human rights. There are celebrations within Iran and the diaspora for a reason and not because they are ‘racists’. The death of the Ayatollah, who is worse than Trump and Netanyahu (no, that is no more of an endorsement than saying Stalin was better than Hitler), opens an opportunity, perhaps slim, of improvement and I cannot begrudge anyone for cheering his demise. It’s not racist for do so either, unless it’s racist to not want to live under Islamist fascism.
I have had the fortune of knowing several Iranians in my life. All despised the regime and will show some degree of happiness now, none of them ‘fascist’, they support women and gay rights, and I hope for them something good happens for their country. It would be good for the world too, with their warmongering proxies cut off from their main backer.
