Actually, the attitude of the western world towards Iranian uprising makes no difference! We, Iranians have to get rid of the regime on our own, and pay its heavy price unfortunately!
There was however, an important meeting of the UN human rights council in Geneva on this matter, and the council voted to create a team to investigate the human right abuses in Iran. This is being done now and will have serious consequences for the regime, but the regime has to fall once and for all. This is not negotiable.

They are silent because IF THEY GET INVOLVED THEY ARE BLAMED FOR GETTING INVOLVED.

Ye but what did India say then, why are we always watching the west

[ritieneniels]

I love this lady and media, she knows what she reports and her media let her

[ascendent]

I dk y even india is not condemning iran... Miss reporter just keeps on going to West west and west 24/7.
As for US, when they get involved in iran's issues she calls she rips them for getting involved... I dk but it feels she has a personal problem with the US. Same with many in wion.

[laotorrr]

Maybe India should step up and condemn Iran instead of always expecting the west to do this sort of thing?

[bharatiya]

Feeling sorry for the man. He was so young! One more innocent life is lost.
RIP🙏🏼

[oldandgrumpy]

Thank you for your honest and exact analysis. And thank you for your support for Iranian voiceless people. Yes they don't support Iranian because Iranian aren't blonde and blue eyes

[lungoulalchongloi]

Wion please don't criticize the west in iran's problem. It's the regime of iran vs the people of iran. The people have the power and the will to overthrow the regime, its a matter of time all the people of iran to stand up as one.

You would have to remember you have Ukraine 🇺🇦 then you have China 🇨🇳 looking to Taiwan 🇹🇼 stretching your military right now is not what should be done. Is India 🇮🇳 willing to step up and do something 🤔

[reaganbaluku]

I really don’t understand. First the description seems off, I don’t know how Iran’s internal issues should be USA’s problem. When they(USA) react, you yep about meddling, when they don’t, you claim they are silent. What does the world expect of them(USA)

[amina]

India should take the lead for once. Why can’t India and other nations call Iran out? Why are you always calling on the west?. Later you accuse them of either meddling, being hypocritical or world police. India likes to play the politics of convenience.

[lawrenceosh]

He was a target, they can't single out one person.
I'm sure he wasn't the only one honking.

[oler]

WION always blaming the West but never criticize India. Has India criticized Iran?

[Ali-wrcu]

So sad about what is happening in Iran and how silent and inaction the modern, civilized world can be when they see horrifying violence against civilians and innocent people. I have lost all my trust in the countries that advocate human rights. They use human rights as a political tool.

[Mr.Coffee]

Speak up, America. Why are you so silent ? Do you need oil to motivate you ? Hmm ?

[drjashankar]

Excellent reporting, very valid point 🇺🇸 and 🇪🇺 are soft on 🇨🇳 too in this regard...

I request WION and by extension other media to please 🙏🏽 start referring to these protests as revolution during their reporting...

[R.C.]

Prayers for the people of Iran 🇮🇷 🙏
The leaders of my country (USA) are a disgrace 😤

[riasingh]

Agreed but even India is playing politics of convenience in Russia - Ukraine war, we aren't at a good place to call out the west's hypocrisy, atleast in this matter

In the Human Rights Council, India abstained from the Islamic Republic's child-killing regime. Why does the Indian government support the regime of the Islamic Republic? Why are the bank accounts of Iranians in India blocked?
