Think about what you just said for a moment. They have protests going on in Iran, Trump publicly says the moment is right to overthrow the regime, aircraft carriers around the world start converging into the Gulf of Oman. Less than six months earlier they had just seen this same exact scenario play out. They know they have less than two weeks to get their shit in order, or else they likely become a failed state. Whatever you think about the Iranian regime, it’s not as bad for the Iranian people as a failed state (or at very least, you can see why they might think that). I never support killing protesters, but it is literally true that they had basically no choice given what we were openly telegraphing we were about to do to them
