The only mass protests in Iran I saw video evidence of have been the millions of Iranian people in the streets in the PRO-governments protests that were against the foreign intervention.

The will of the Iranian people is clear: The don't want to become slaves of Western Imperialism.

Do you really think we we Iranian government would be able to keep in power despite a brutal economic blockade, despite foreign agents constantly trying to spread unrest if it were as competent, cruel and unpopular as the Western media tell you? It wouldn't last weeks.

> 36'000 people were killed in just two nights.

You are completely delusional if you believe that number. Just the logistics of killing so many people would be insane. You are falling hard for Western propaganda.

Funny how you are not crying for the end of the Israeli regime that is committing the best documented genocide in history. How you are not criticizing Western allies like the UAE for fueling the bloody civil war in Sudan.

But Iran, yeah you got an opinion on that.

I have an opinion, because I was there and saw it with my own eyes. Because my friends and family members died.

I think if you ignore all the videos where you clearly see police and other regime forces gunning down people on the streets, then yes. Otherwise, I would say that Iranian people are tired of Islamic colonization project.

Here are the logistics: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewIran/comments/1qknmkn/a_father_s...

you can find plenty of videos like this. Of course you would prefer a 4k live stream of the crackdown on the protesters but its kind of hard to make given that the internet was shut down during that time, and only some videos made it out.

War is war, and is completely different from genocide.

Are you saying that Saudis are not western allies that fueling the civil war in Sudan? I'll remind you that the war in Sudan has backers from many gulf nations, which back opposing forces.
