In the past I didn’t really catch that the people were rebelling against the government and suddenly there is great violence against protestors.

I think I missed this completely. I am aware that the beginning was spiralling costs. Is this connected to international sanctions?

    US interests (mainly oil) and all it’s military bases in the area.

      American elite interests only not the population and the military bases make the USA a threat to Iran not the opposite

        Exactly, the people, all people, are victims of their governments and get microscopic crumbs from what they devour. And not just a threat to iran but the whole region.
