America does not care about Iranian citizens. They do not care about their right to protest. If America intervenes, Iranians will be worse off when all is said and done.

I was very vehemently on the side that there should be no foreign interference here. But it seems people on the ground have changed their tune, and they are now hoping for the US to step in and provide support. I don't think people understand how bad things are there with 40%+ inflation rates. The government is willing to kill as many people as it takes to retain power, so it seems difficult to see anything changing without some help.
I think the operation in Venezuela actually changed the game a bit that there is hope there can be a very limited surgical operation with low casualties resulting in regime change. So you can't really argue with the people on the ground protesting and putting their lives on the line, hoping that the US can do the same here. If they want support, who are we to oppose that.
