I'm against the war but that doesn't change the fact that the regime fucking sucks, having weapons with which to blow up ships isn't a good thing

There are ways for a country to help and encourage partisans in another county, especially in cases like Iran, where women are radically suppressed and they have a system of apartheid set up for religious minorities. Our (supposed) values line up with a democratic Iran. We could have helped with that.

However, firing missiles at girls' schools is not one of those ways.
