For the attention of the Trump admin:
You want the people inside Iran to rise up. Good. So do they. So does everyone.
But here is the main obstacle between the Iranian people and a successful uprising:
The islamic regime's internal repression network.
This network includes:
โขBasijis and their bases
โข Courthouses and judges using sharia law to mass execute people
โข Police forces that enforce regime law and act brutally towards civilians, especially women, and the stations they operate from
โข Morality police (still there, but taken a temporary backseat in some areas)
โข The Ministry of Intelligence and its vast invasive spying on citizens
โข Foreign proxies sent in to oppress people when the regime loses control
โข Regime institutions controlling the internet and communications, who can shut both down at will
They have built this terrorist network up for 47 years and use it as a hammer to crush people. It's been weakened slightly, mainly by Israel, but is still very much in power.
Any effort to bring Iranians into the street MUST involve bombing and dismantling the above listed oppression structure.
When Iranians know they have backup and are not walking into a slaughter, believe me, they will take to the streets again, and this time they will win.
I have every faith that Iran will be free soon. And Trump holds the key to making this happen faster than we all think.
