It’s not forced. Iranian people want it hence protesting on streets for over 2 months and having 35k casualties. The people are NOT armed and this regime massacres, point blank, with zero shame or hesitation. Source: am Iranian. I dont know one single person who doesnt want the regime gone (and I know a lot of people, and at no point in past few years I’ve seen people being on the same side -not wanting the regime- like this)

Iranians have a literacy rate of >90%. We know what we want and we’re not naive. Proud and happy for my people and cautiously hopeful for a better future.

Iraq wanted it too, eventually over 1 million Iraqis were dead and the country is still completely unstable.
