I'm an Iranian and this protest is very different because it's not about a specific government policy ... It's about the totality of the regime. Unfortunately, government has been following the same old brutal playbook by killing protesters and cutting off the Internet.

that would make it much more suspicious the protests are being orchestrated from outside by CIA/Mossad...

The "regime" is a republic with regularly held presidential (8 presidents in 45 years) and parliamentary elections. What would you like to replace it with? Monarchy

  • > The "regime" is a republic with regularly held presidential (8 presidents in 45 years) and parliamentary elections.

    I'd think the regime thing refers to the Supreme Leader of 36 years and his Guardian Council, no?

    • so are kings of England, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Netherlands & Arabia.

      The Guardian Council is an elected body with the power to remove the so-called "Supreme Leader", so his power is limited too and is not hereditary, unlike monarchies of Europe and Asia
