Same kjnda thing happened in the city I live in in Canada. There was an incredibly stupid protest earlier this year tried to arrest police officers at the police station on the advice of a self proclaimed “Real queen of Canada”, and the mayor tweeted something like “fuck off dimwits”, and it became a somewhat big deal in media. Shirts and other shit with the quote raised 10k or more for a couple local charities.

It’s a bit more complicated because it’s a division of the Iranian military, and labeling them all (and previous members) as terrorists doesn’t allow for the necessary diplomatic outcome most countries (especially western) would prefer to direct confrontation with Iran- almost no one wants that. Canada recently imposed targeted blacklisting of the ING leadership (and more) which seems more effective in the big picture (if the big picture is Iranian regime change, which is the only pragmatic outcome, and what most of the West and their allies want). The last thing you want to do here is isolate or radicalize low level conscripts if the goal is regime change through a domestic uprising (which is currently the best hope). Real Polik, and supporting the citizens against their authoritarian theocratic government is a million times preferable to direct confrontation with the Iranian regime. War with Iran will make the Iraq war look like a walk in the park. https://www.iranintl.com/en/202210075689
