Reaktionen im Iran auf Netanjahus Rede

Ex-Außenminister Gabriel warnt mit dramatischen Worten vor einem möglichen Ausstieg der USA aus dem Iran-Atomabkommen:

"Wir müssen alles tun, um folgendes Worst-Case-Szenario zu verhindern: Die USA kündigen den JCPOA, niemand wird dann mehr in Iran investieren. Dadurch gerät die Regierung Rohani unter Druck und wirft das Atomprogramm wieder an. Das wiederum könnte Israelis und Amerikaner dazu bringen, mit einem Militärschlag zu antworten."

Mit solchen Äußerungen steht er in Europa keineswegs alleine. Und im Iran? Wie reagierten dort die Menschen auf die jüngste Rede des israelischen Premiers? Dr. Thamar Eilam Gindin Reaktionen in sozialen Medien ausgewertet:

"I saw a large number of people who asked not to call Iran the Islamic Republic. (...) There were many calls from people who said: 'They [the Islamic Republic of Iran] do not represent the Iranian people, they took us hostage. You have to differentiate between Iran, which has a history of 3,000 years, and the Islamic Republic, which is 39 years old."

In a broader light, according to Dr. Eilam Gindin, these reactions reflect a mood currently prevailing in the streets of Iran in relation to the regime and the authorities in the republic, the United States and Israel and Netanyahu himself.

"At first the reactions were a bit hysterical," she continued. "People in Iran feel insecure, their currency is weak and the economy is shaky. There are many who oppose the regime. Netanyahu's speech, claiming that Israel caught their regime in a breach of agreements, put some pressure on them.

They also very much want their regime to fall. There are many keyboard warriors but when it comes to taking to the streets, they are scared. Recently the hashtag "We're done!" was used a lot and it returned yesterday in the wake of Netanyahu's speech.
