Source? From the latest report I’ve found I see 70% oppose the current regime.

This site also reported that the majority of Iranians are atheist. Its methods have been questioned before.
what makes you think they aren't?
The nuance here is that most Iranians favor regime change, but majority of them don't want it to come via US/Israel-led change.
You've said this several times on different threads today. You're smuggling in a premise nobody else was discussing. The protest movement is huge. It is not "US/Israel-led". We don't even reach the question of whether the "majority wants US/Israel"; I'm sure they don't!
> smuggling in Your response seems to elicit you have some pre-informed opinions on this that my comment has irritated you. I'm not smuggling anything. I'm making a comment on an open forum.

> The protest movement is huge Source? How big is it? What % of the Iranian population is protesting?

> It is not "US/Israel-led" Source? We have reports to the contrary, and given the amount US and Israeli politicians are leaning in to the protests, notwithstanding their constant talking points on escalating things with Iran, it's not beyond reasonableness to suggest there is outside influence.

I was merely providing a talking point, as the general theme in the West is that US forcing a regime change is a good thing. I'm merely reiterating that it is not (based on historical regime changes the US has been involved in), and that there is good reason to believe majority of Iranians don't want a regime change if it's US-led and not a real democratic outcome.

Again: it's a protest movement, not an Israeli invasion. Your last sentence continues the premise that there's a live question about "US-led regime change". No there isn't.

It would be one thing if you were arguing that it was, and presenting evidence. But this is just innuendo.

Where did I state it was an Israeli invasion?

Also, source on the 'massive protest'? Present the evidence.

Are you really trying to trutherize the protests themselves? We believe our lying eyes.

This is a deeply buried thread nobody is reading anymore. I don't think there's anyone here to convince but me.
