    You’re downvoted but you’re correct. Iranians hate their government (rightfully so, it’s a repressive religious extremist police state) and will hopefully use the chance of a weakened Khamenei to finally overthrow the mullahs.

      I just hope Israel’s policy of not caring about collateral damage doesn’t backfire here. They may hate their leaders, but seeing family and friends killed will solidify them against Israel.

        One wonders if that’s the intention, like with Gaza and Hamas, people are driven to extremism by extreme circumstances and Israel at every step stopped anything but hamas from power to help themselves.

      Israel killing civilians will not make iranians turn against the regime Even gaza with a lot more desperate people the protests against hamas are very low
