PROTIP: Opposition to interventionism in the Middle East does not have to equate to support for the currently extant states therein.

I have a bunch of friends there from college and plenty of them have issues with their government, some of them even live in America now. 100% of them have way more of a problem with Israels genocide than anything their government is doing.
A whataboutism on an unrelated issue using “my Iranian friends”, no less! About what I expected after being confronted with the actual mass protests against the regime and the murderous response from the Islamic Republic, lol.
To counter you anecdotal evidence: my partner fled from Iran 4 years ago and still has a lot of friends and family there. All of them would love see this regime fall, so much so, that her friends went out to protest One of them was arrested, tried and found guilty of corruption on earth. He was to not leave the country for five years and was threatened with an even harsher punishment, if he took part in protests again. He took to the streets the day after his release.
These people hate their government with a burning passion. Doesn’t matter what Israel does, they would love to see this occupational regime fall.
Yeah, the Islamic Republic is awful literally every Iranian person I know agrees on that, and it sucks that America meddled in their government for so long before it. Hopefully something that isn’t a western puppet government takes its place and actually represents the people.
