Protests started way before Trumps tweet.

Second, why are you legitimizing gunning down thousands of people?

I'm delegitimizing the US president saying things he can't back up, causing death, and getting the US into another war that the American people didn't ask for.

No. You are saying that these people died because of Trump's tweet, and not because the IR goons gunned people on the streets. Seems to me that you place the fault on Trump, rather than on those who pulled the trigger.

you, Trump & Satanyahu are not entitled to your own peaceful counter-revolution - if you want to overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran, you must bear the necessarily sacrifices

Ali Khamenei won one election and has sat there as a supreme leader ever since, that is not democracy. Deposing him is needed for democracy, there has been many protests against him.

Iran is not a democracy, it is a fake democracy since the supreme leader cannot be voted away.
