The protests gripping Iran are fuelled by immense economic pressures and frustration with the government, but with Iranians having felt Israel's wrath and also seen what the US did in Venezuela, their demands are not for foreign intervention, a slate of regional experts have said.

Speaking at an event hosted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in Washington DC on Monday, the experts said that whilst there may be some voices that are outliers, most Iranians were looking for the international community to help lift crippling US sanctions and begin a new path forward.

The illegal collective punishment will continue until subservience improves.

    What the people of Iran may want is irrelevant. The US seeks to control the flow of oil and the currency others use to pay for it.

    Once America installs their puppet, which has actually been waiting for a while already, like decades, sanctions will be lifted.

    This is some BS propaganda from the Iranian regime. It isn't believable at all.

    Everyone who knows an Iranian, knows that real Iranians want their regime outright assassinated by any country willing to do it.
