Anti-War Hashtag 'No to War' Sparks Firestorm Among Iranian Dissidents After US-Israeli Strikes
Anti-war activists immediately revived the Farsi hashtag “No to War” on Saturday following US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
Opinions are sharply split. One camp demands an immediate end to conflict, branding it a war. Conversely, pro-monarchy factions, spearheaded by Reza Pahlavi, are actively calling for the escalation of strikes against Iran. Furthermore, Pahlavi’s group reportedly launched an aggressive media smear campaign against rival opposition voices since a previous conflict named the 'Israel’s 12-day war on Iran last year.'
The discourse shows deep fractures within the Iranian opposition. While the street-level energy leans toward anti-war sentiment, powerful, well-resourced factions like Pahlavi’s are using the crisis to consolidate support by aggressively attacking their rivals.
