A surprising number of Iranians both inside and outside Iran seem to think so, according to comments left ln social media.
A quick glance at the track record of Islamic regime , shows that Indeed there are good reasons behind this somehow surprising line of thinking…..
Islamist regime has a long history of staging “ terrorist attacks” inside Iran in order to blame /discredit the opposition and justify crackdown, and gain some political leverage in international arena. Examples: Cinema Rex fire tragedy during the revolution, explosions at prime minister office in Tehran in early post Revolution days. Explosions at Imam Reza Shrine in city of Mash_had ….. The list goes on. These terror attacks were all eventually tracked to Islamic regime itself.
In this case, an “ISIS attack” in Tehran, high on the heels of recent ISIS attacks in Europe could well serve the Islamic regime, portraying it as a “Victim of Terrorism”, just at the time US senate is looking into imposing sanctions on Islamic regime for its support of International terrorism…
I guess we can never say with 100% certainty that the Islamic regime was indeed fully behind this attack. But that was also the case in 1933 when the Reichstag was burnt down by Nazis, in order to blame their arch enemies, the “communists”. An event which heralded the ascent of Adolf Hitler and Fascism to power in Germany and eventual death of millions of human beings in ensuing WW II.
Iranian people are very rightfor remembering the lessons of history……
Nicely and concisely said. You should post blogs more often.
one more thing you didn't mention; the big earthquake in the city of tabas shortly before the coup in 2537. fascist islamists did that too.
Well, whoever did it, the outcome is not looking good for IRI!
US Senate approved the sanctions on IRI!
IRI claim that they kill babies and their mothers in syria so they dont have to fight ISIS in Tehran, proved 100% wrong!! ISIS just paid them their very first visit!!
Do you hear me "Razi-MRX-Bavafa" joonam? For some reason I get a feeling you are here!!!
KhoshGel!!! :-)
Awsome blog and right on the money
So sad to see that there are still those among iraninas!! who have their doubts about the intention of the IRI and think that one should give them credit where they deserve it.
Tabas was their fault too...La chinga...
Thanks for the comments.
After 38 years of lies and deception, Islamic regime has lost it's credibility amongst the vast majority of Iranians. What is interesting is that even the regime supporters seem to have difficulty believing the stories about this event comimg from regime sources.....
Roozbeh
I chalk it up to their extremely "vatani" and nationalistic Urges:))
Very well said.
