Reply to comment by CutiePopIceberg in Mossad chief warns: Iran is expanding supply of advanced weapons to Russia by omega3111

Legit question, how? I'm all up for it, but their situation is different from Ukraine, they're fighting against their government, how can we help them? Aside from spreading the word.

I am aware, trying to give them stuff rn is out of the question, unless they properly form an armed insurrection, nothing can be done I guess.

Just hope they keep on fighting, but it's not looking good

Id be shocked if the cia isnt getting in on this. But i agree with yiu and some other commenters: anything overt would be unwise at this time. Also, weve seen again and again that arming 'the enemy of my enemy hoping they become friends' doesnt work (taliban). Any us involvement would have to be surgical and plausibly deniable (like us drones taking out specific targets - this does mean there will be collaterAL damage and that has to be considered too)

Yeah, the USA will definitely get involved, but the Rebels need to secure a fighting force and make it clear that they're fighting for a secular government and that they won't just be the other side of the coin, Iran has never been a true democracy, this is their chance.
