The regime has no qualms about purging their population and this could be the only chance in generations to end it.

People often talk about how the people and citizens should rise up and instigate the revolution organically, which is precisely what they have been trying to do for a long time. The bravery of their citizen population should never be questioned imo.

I don't trust that trump has the best interests of the iranian people in mind here though. He will accept a more brutal regime if it means they at least pay him.
