Obviously this isn't an excuse for the US's imperialistic aggression, but God, what an awful government.

    This is probably a response to it.

    Fucking horrific, but it probably wouldn't have been so swift without US interference. Who orchestrated and manipulated the people into protesting...

    Every day there was some post on fucking Reddit egging it all on to iirc.

    Huh? The mullah regime was killing protesters on the streets and even inside hospitals by the thousands months ago.

    Iranians have agency and have tried to change this government for decades. Many were cheering on US and Israeli air strikes.

    Have you ever talked to an Iranian?

    Yeah, I could've worded it better.

    People knew and were very much aware of what you said was happening.

    Trump lulled many into a false sense of security encouraging them to stand up. Many who otherwise may have had been silent or 'less vocal' because they were so aware, MAYBE thought that they would be backed by the U.S.
