SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — With the war in Iran about to enter a second month, calls for regime change continue.

“I’m here just to be a voice for the people of Iran. What they want? Free Iran. What they want? To have a normal life, which they can’t have. They are murdered by the Iranian government,” said Mahsa Garakani, Marin County resident.

Hundreds of Iranians from across the Bay Area marched along San Francisco’s Embarcadero on Sunday.

“We’re just echoing what our people want from the inside all our families. A lot of people don’t understand the minimal internet access they have. They are sending us videos telling us what they want, and we’re going to keep doing this every week until they have their freedom,” said Ali Lohrassebi from Pacifica

“We are here to support president’s actions, President Trump and all this administration’s actions on Iran taking strikes on the regime, killing them all and we are asking them to continue this until the regime changes,” said Sayna Ibrahimi, Los Altos Hills resident.

And while this group of rallygoers is very much in favor of the war, there is a group of local Iranians with a much different opinion.

“The first thing we would like to see happen is bombs stopping. That’s the first thing. Before that, people are just in survival mode,” said Babak Sani, Oakland resident.

Babak Sani is one of the voices calling for an end to the war…and for the people of Iran to have control over who their next leader is.

“What the war does is it sets back any kind of movement for democracy. It sets back the aspirations of the people. The idea of self-determination is one of the first things that came up right away in our first gathering and it’s been in the heart of our discussions throughout,” Sani, Oakland resident.

Still there are no signs of the war ending soon, The Washington Post is reporting the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of limited ground operations, that could involve raids by special operators.

Axios reporting The White House is also considering deploying up to 10,000 more troops to the region.

Community Guidelines

Welcome to Denver Stiffs! We’re glad you’re here.

Denver Stiffs is a community where sports fans from all backgrounds gather to share their passion. We strive to create a fun and welcoming place for everyone to come fan with us. These guidelines help ensure that happens. Here’s the short version:

• Be respectful in your interactions with contributors and fellow fans.
• Don’t be a jerk, and don’t call other people jerks.
• We’ll remove anything we see that jeopardizes our communities.
• We ask that you do your best to keep the conversation to sports and primarily our favorite NBA team. Why? Because there are plenty of other sites where you can air your opinions about everything from politics to soup recipes.
• You can help with that. If you see something that doesn’t align with our guidelines, let us know. Flag any comments or usernames that violate our guidelines so our community managers can review them.

These rules extend to our communities everywhere: in our comments, on social media, and in real life.

We do not allow any of the following:

• Personal attacks: This includes name-calling, insults, threats, hurtful comments about someone’s appearance, voice, or style, and all other forms of attacks. We want our communities to be welcoming and fun. Personal attacks are the opposite of that.
• Attacks on staffers: It’s fine to critique a post, disagree with a take, or point out errors. We draw the line, however, at personal attacks (see above) about writers, editors, moderators, etc.
• Discriminatory or derogatory language: This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of discrimination.
• Harassment: This includes, but is not limited to, intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography; inappropriate physical contact; use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes; and unwelcome sexual attention.
• Wishing harm on athletes: Don’t root for an injury, don’t root for harm to befall a coach or athlete. You can want someone to get fired or released, but please do not hope for bodily harm.
• Misinformation and disinformation: Sharing demonstrably false information about news or world events, beyond the scope of reasonable sports opinion or analysis, can be harmful to our communities. These comments will be removed and may result in a suspension or a ban.
• Illegal activity: Don’t promote, encourage, or make light of any kind of illegal activity, including DUIs, domestic violence, or sexual assault.
• NSFW images and comments: Keep it PG-13, or you will be removed. This includes language and images that are sexual, violent, or generally offensive in nature.
• Excessive profanity: Fans get worked up on game days, and we’re fans, too. We understand that. As a general rule, keep profanity to a minimum. Some communities prohibit profanity, so be sure to review guidelines for the individual communities you participate in.
• Multiple accounts and throwaway emails: These are a signal that you’re not interested in being a productive member of our communities, and we do not allow it.
• Trolling: We know it when we see it, and we’ll remove it. Don’t go to a rival team’s community for the sole purpose of riling up their fans, either. Moreover, you should never publish any private or personally identifiable information. Doxxing is strictly prohibited.
• The “first post” rule: If you break any of these guidelines with your very first post or interaction, it signals to our community managers you’re just here to be disruptive. Violators may be banned, blocked, or removed.
• Spam: We have a zero-tolerance policy on spam, which includes sharing links to illegal game streams or downloads. Spam will be deleted and spammers may be banned, blocked, or removed. 
• Political commentary: Denver Stiffs is a site dedicated to the Denver Nuggets, not politics. There are many sites available on the internet to discuss politics, Denver Stiffs is not one of them. Please refrain from any political commentary while using our site.

Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules when engaging in our communities will at best be removed from the conversation, and at worst will end up banned from that community. These decisions will be made at the discretion of our community managers and other Mile High Sports personnel. Community managers and moderators have final say on interpretation of violating our community guidelines, and on all decisions resulting in a warning, suspension, and/or ban.

If you see any of these things happening in our communities, please flag it and it will be reviewed. You can also reach out via our contact page.
