^ Foreign policy is one thing that I don't really mind of the current regime in Iran, but internally things are really shit.
I mean, there is so much more social freedom in even Syria and Lebanon compared to Iran. I strongly believe, if Mullahs incorporated some sort of liberal reforms, then 80% of the people would be happy. Forced hijab, women not allowed in stadiums, oil $$ and natural resources being spent on Arab countries that mostly hate Iranians (Despite Iran sending so much $$ to Syria and saving their country from ISIS, when Syria played Iran in the World Cup qualifier match in Tehran, Syrian players endlessly cussed and swore at Iranians, mom insults, etc). Inflation + unemployment also hinders people as well. I am very wary and and cautious about hard revolution at this point as there is no obvious alternative or opposition leader and it'll come at cost of a lot of blood without us knowing where it'll lead (Terrorist group MKO doesn't count). A revolution needs a thought-leader. A charismatic character that inspires the people. If these protests forces the theocrats to give more social reforms, and with 60% of population being under 40 and very secular, then we'll see a transition of power and outlook naturally. We shouldn't look into societies and countries in a binary GLOBALIST / NON-GLOBALIST manner. I bet 90% of Iranian population doesn't even know what globalism is...All they care about is they don't have to get a visa to go to any country in the world except if it's some shithole in Africa, Venezuela or Turkey...or be able to walk on the street holding his girlfriend/wife's hands, or be able to go have a few beers in open with friends after work...or not have their natural resources money and national assets spent on people who hates them... and of course the BS with Palestine-Israel on TV news every night.
Here are some of the chants I've seen in videos:
"We are Aryan, we don't worship an Arab God"
"No to Gazza, no to Lebanon...my only concern is Iran"
"Reza Shah (Iranian Ataturk), god bless your soul"
Also, very surprisingly, I'm seeing a lot more pro-Shah chants than 2009 protests. Also a lot more direct naming of the supreme leader, as opposed to just "Dictator".
Also, for any positive thing to come out of these protests, Iranian people need the support of their celebrities. Footballers (Soccer players) have been leading the torch in some aspects of reform lately. Captain of national team willingly played against an Israeli side for his club (that led to his suspension from the team roaster), soccer players have been pushing for women to be allowed in stadiums by taking photos with hijab-less Iranian women and uploading them on their instagram accounts, many retired footballers also using Instagram to take digs at government spending all Iranian money abroad. Mahdavikia (the guy who scored Iran's winning goal vs. USA in 1998 World Cup, had a post a few weeks ago saying: "We had an earthquake, 1000 died, people have no heating in this cold winter, yet all our oil money gets spent in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Palestine. Care about your people first!!"

How about this?
Make Iran Persia Again
or
Make Persia Zoroastrian Again
Good luck to them, it will not be easy to throw off the oppressive yoke of Islam. Of which is only becoming more and more intolerant of any half measured secularism. Perhaps someday they will remember their roots and cast that shit religion out of their homeland.

I've been reading up on this the past day since hearing about it and my oh my is this a golden egg just ripe for the taking. I wonder when the watershed moments will come. Has the CIA and Mossad been caught off guard? Not a chance.
I bet they are currently moving this thing in the direction they want it to and as long as the Iranian regime is neutred without an opposing army from the US or Israel who cares about normal Iranians right?
Its not as if the regime won't start a fight or flight response like every other government of its kind? I'm already getting flashbacks from the arab spring, Libiya, Syria and Iraq and we all know how well those situations turned out.
Then we have Hezbollah, Lebanon and Hamas and dont forget all of those bored out of their minds Sunni terrorists and Chechen Sunnis just itching for a bit of murdering and destruction. iran doesn't have many of these types but who is against some importing of terrorism for the hell of it?

I was never a fan of the Islamic Republic, but those tweets sound like something straight out of Netanyahu's mouth. Trump shouldn't be making himself sound like some pro-regime change neocon by allowing messages like those to be posted on his account, or trying to go after the Iranian government at all. Not when we already have more than enough examples of what happens when authoritarian governments in the middle east get overthrown. I also hope that the hardcore Trump fans won't try to justify this as 6 Gorillion D chess or whatever.
This whole situation is starting to seem like Ukraine all over again.

Fuck Iran, this shit has been a long time coming. I hope the CIA makes that shithole pay for 1979, I have not forgotten. You do not disrespect our embassy and hold our country men hostage.

Curious events unfolding. I'm more surprised that people are chanting pro-monarchic statements.
Could we see the restoration of monarchy in Iran under a new representative republic?

Internet in Iran is supposedly cut-off. Where are you posting from?

I don't know how far these people will push but there is a limited window to stop this before it becomes a snowball too big to stop. They've already killed people and have lost police stations apparently.

Just another George Soros' backed color revolution in the process. It's just a matter of time before President Trumps bends to Bibi and Soros. Sad!
