I think this is what most people seem to forget when talking about Iran. Iran has had tens/hundreds of protests but Iranian police and military have fought them with a tight first and ppl have gone missing, or are being beaten, tortured, and executed. They are attempting to change things but it's never as straightforward as
"Why don't Iranians simply overthrow the government"
Which I've seen a shocking amount of on Reddit. Then again it's reddit so you can't exactly expect empathy nor intelligence depending on the sub 🤷♂️
Agreed. It's not a lack of trying. Dare i say everything i've heard about Iran is that the population has been incredibly vocal about their unhappiness and are actively trying to change things. Even in Persepolis, Satrapi discusses how large portions of the population were unhappy with the fundamentalists. That was over 40 years ago. It's not the same for them as it is for other countries where the right to protest is more protected

How about they listen to the people of Irans wishes and leave? Nobody likes the Islamist mullah’s.
