The issue is Iran's ordinary population is completely content being a Western Banana country like they were under the Shah.
Be just like the West and in return you get fancy military toys (that you can't do anything with without approval of your master). In exchange for being a banana country there would be very little reason for sanctions thus Iran would grow at a reasonable rate and a lot of foreign investment. To Most young people in Iran this is ideal. Unfortunately they don't see the bigger picture they only care about themselves.
But blaming the governemnt for corruption is hilarious. The amount of thievery, fraud, embezzlement, etc among Iran's population is staggerly high. Wether rich or poor, there are Iranians trying to hoodwink their fellow citizens.
So it's a bit hypocritical that the citizens protest against the government for the same alleged acts.
Let's not even mention how much other sins are committed by a supposed "religious" population.
The people of that country need to change if they expect their government to also have noble ideals and values.
Iran is hijacked by a minority gang, who rule with support of loyal Pakistani fanatics and corrupt ways.
Let the people of Iran decide who rules them and hope RAW operations are also disrupted in the process.
You must be joking? So it's not the government that's at fault, it's the people?! Good to know.
Tehran's population is about 8.8 Million People now by comparison, Washington Redskins FedEx stadium holds 82,000 people which is less than 1% of Tehran's (City) population!
So this is what only ~1% of Tehran's population looks like:
So about 1 out of every 100 people in Tehran would fill FedEx Field!
And you can't show a single video or image that shows even 1% of Tehran's population protesting and when you can't even get 1% of the capitals population out to support you then there isn't really a threat of an overthrow and not all the slogans are necessarily opinions of the majority!
Now for protests to be a real threat to the Iranian government they'll need at least 10% of Tehran's population out protesting that's 10 FedEx Fields filled with people protesting in Tehran alone and even then that would only be 1 out of every 10 people in Tehran!
These protests for now can't even match the 2009 protests that were mainly about the election results not a government overthrow!
