🇮🇷| Iranian taxi drivers and their opinions on the Iran-US war:

I drove with about 20 different taxi drivers so far. Mostly Kurds, Fars and Azeri Iranians.

About 19 of them fully supported the armed forces of Iran. Out of the 19, 16 were very politically aware of the situation, felt proud of their country’s military success so far, completely supported the new Iranian leader and none of them watched “Iran International” and acknowledged it’s a Mossad-affiliated propaganda outlet.

One of them was even so excited, that he proudly told me about that one anonymous IRGC pilot he saw talking on Iranian TV, explaining Iranian strikes against “Israel”. You could literally hear the excitement in his voice, it actually made me proud.

The other 3 supported the armed forces but believed in some weird conspiracy theories, and had doubts about the success rate of Iran’s military strikes, un-interestingly when I asked them, all 3 watched “Iran International” regularly.

The remaining one person was very angry about US/Israeli attacks, especially on civilians, but wasn’t politically aware and believed Iran was finished. Believed in a lot of fake news (“zadan hamechio ba khaak yek saan kardan & dige hichi namoonde”) and had no hope. When I asked what he watched, he said “Iran International” and BBC. He said he doesn’t watch Iranian news outlets at all, and didn’t care a lot when I said that “Iran International” is Mossad-affiliated.

Note: Iranian taxi drivers are among one of the lowest classes of the society, in terms of financial income.
