The US did the same thing - staged protests - that's what Antifa and BLM were about, and why they disappeared once Biden was "elected".
Would not be surprised if some of this was Chicom money funded through various layer and shell companies or organizations before it ultimately makes it ways to AntiFa.
if it was an outside influence, they would have stopped it.
The lady heading up the protests is a US citizen with deep neoCon ties. Just another attempt by the US to overthrow Iran, as they've attempted, and at times succeeded in many times since the 50's.
This is something the religious police have been doing for the past 40 years. Why is the uproar occurring now?
Musk has made Starlink available to Iran so they can't be kept in the dark.
My next door neighbor is from Iran who fled in the last 70's when the Ayatollah took over and he is always hopeful that things will turn around.

It is typical for structures to break slowly, and then all at once, just like the fall of the Soviet Union.
It feels like basic physics dictates that things break this way, not just countries, but physical things too, like dams. A little water gets through, and a feedback loop takes over and rapidly destroys the whole thing.
I bet very few people are set up to get it because it's quite expensive: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/starlink-starter-kit-how-to-get-it-and-set-it-up
I guess my comment was more along the lines of is this really an organic movement on the part of Iranians, or a 5th column color revolution sponsored by US/WEF?
“What would things have been like if every security operative,” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in his epic work, The Gulag Archipelago, “when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?”
Very interesting. This is something the religious police have been doing for the past 40 years. Why is the uproar occurring now? A link or two supporting your claim that it is a US-sponsored insurgency would be greatly appreciated.

50,000+ people showed up in Richmond Hill, Ontario yesterday to protest the Islamic dictatorship of Iran.

Iranian State TV Suddenly Interrupted, Displays Ominous Message for World to See
Anti-Iranian government protesters hacked the government’s state broadcaster on Saturday.
The hackers, a group known as Edalate Ali, posted an ominous message directed at Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which was broadcasted for all of Iran to see.
Protests, riots and general unrest have swept through the Middle Eastern country since the Sept. 16 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
The young Iranian was detained by the country’s morality police for wearing “inappropriate attire,” Reuters reported.
Iranian authorities claim the 22-year-old died of a heart attack. However, her family claims Amini had no heart problems. Reports alleged she was beaten to death while in custody.
Weeks later, Edalate Ali reminded the Supreme Leader of the young woman’s death. Some dark imagery accompanied that reminder.
According to Sky News, the hackers posted an image of Khamenei with flames all around him and a target on his head. Under the ominous depiction were pictures of Amini and three other women allegedly killed during the protests.

I have a weird hope that Iran will return to Zoroastrianism one day soon.

The woke deep state is not going to stop Chicom influence such as funding of AntiFa. Stop pretending you do not know that.

I also know a guy who fled when the Ayatollah took over. He was a college student, and said everyone was protesting the Shah, but didn't realize that what they would get after that would actually be worse, not better.
Then again, some of our posters here will accuse the US of fomenting a coup simply by providing the Iranian people access to the internet that is not censored by the Islamic Theocracy.
"Iran is really popping off with civil unrest because of the woman the Vice Cops tortured and beat to death for not wearing a headscarf right. Notice how the Global media is silent, the American media is silent? This could be the spark that takes down the Iranian gov. I hope it does." - comment on patriots.win, linking to:

The man who slapped the woman is one of Khamenei’s criminals who are attacking Iranian protesters.
The man who had his hand in his pocket had an interesting approach to responding to Khamenei’s thug.
It seems li...
Hard to tell, but from what I know of Iran, it seems legit to me, as in a real organic protest against Islamic oppression.
Sure, the US would probably like them to revolt, but that doesn't prove that the people are not fed up.
I had not made that connection, but you may be right.
I'm still pretty sure that the majority of Iranians hate their Islamic government though.
They don't spend anything on internal infrastructure, they don't solve problems, they create them.
Are you sure we don't spend on welfare and helping the poor ?
We lost two of LBJ's declared wars. One was Vietnam and the other was the Great Society or Welfare Society.
There's absolutely no attempt to end poverty, quite the opposite. Make people dependent on the state, and you have a bunch of people who support the state, no matter WHAT it does.

It seems like the Islamic policeman sprayed a woman with pepper spray for some reason. Maybe she's a protester, but it doesn't look like a protest.
And who is the "man who had his hand in his pocket"? I don't see him yet.
