I have some family in Iran, and they tell me that the regime is so universally hated that it has no legitimacy left. They can only rule through fear and violence, and people desperately want something that can give them the extra push to overthrow the regime.
In 1979 Iranians revolted against the Shah. Toronto filled up with Iranians in the 80s who ran and grabbed billions of dollars from the country. Ask any of them where they got their money and you got shady answers. The Canadian government let anyone in with money. There are so many of these people they call the city Tehranto.
These people want the return of the Shah and a corrupt crony class to steal the wealth of the country, taking trillions in oil wealth to leave most of the country in poverty.
Iran will get bombed, thousands will die, US will install a puppet Fascist and the cycle will reset. There were good reasons why the people put Ayatollahs in power.
One of my uncle shared the same sentiments with me; they want Iran invaded because they hope it’ll get rid of the regime.
I told him that no country capable of invading Iran will do so in the interest of Iranians. He said he knows, but he sees no alternative.

Thanks for the downvotes, toronto Persians.
I downvoted you out of principle. No religious leader is a good replacement, and should never be considered better than what came before.
