They have nothing to do with the war. War stopped the protests. And if anything war killed the internal opposition and cemented power in the armed guards. What was weak unsupported regime gained a lot of strength.

So the solution is have the U.S. military order multiple strikes on a grade school as a response?

I’m sure they appreciate your liberation attempt very much. #AmericaFirst

Always open to suggestions. What about my point?

If you were an Iranian protestor watching your schools and bridges being targeted by Americans, how would you feel about the liberation?

Those protests were by Iranians against their government, who then decided to go kill its own people for expressing their dissent.
