Is US = Iran ???

I saw this story on Sky News today:

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was sentenced to five years in 2016 over allegations of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government - which she denies.

How is that significantly different from this story?

Nearly every day since insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol, the list of those charged in the attack has grown longer. The government has now identified almost 300 suspects in the Jan. 6 rioting, which ended with five people dead, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

Here are the differences I perceive:

• So far, no US plotters have been sentenced;
• No one is claiming Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was responsible for any deaths; and
• There is little chance the US plotters will be released.

Here are the perceived similarities:

• None of the US or Iranian alleged plotters carried any weapons;
• All are being persecuted for resisting a government they think is illegitimate; and
• The governments persecuting them appear to be quasi-religious cults who ignore or distort the facts of what happened while clinging to a fantastic version of events in their efforts to oppress their citizens and remain in power.

So yes, in my opinion the current US government is becoming at least similar, if not identical, to that of Iran.

Oh, I did forget one other difference - leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran often voice a respect for the will of G-d [inshallah], while I'm fairly certain we cannot say that about the current leaders of the USA:
