Yesterday the head of the Revolutionary guard said today would be the last day of protests.
I suspect he meant the last day of that round of protests as this will surely ignite more.

Unfortunately in this situation it’s true. Look up “Iran in the 60s” on google, looks like many European countries. But the government decided the US couldn’t have any oil, so the CIA instigated a military coup against the government and helped put a US friendly dictator in place. That dictator and his government was weak, and the hyper hardcore Muslim government in power now moved in and seized power easily.

Dude they have been protesting for 43 years. The past while alone they had mass protests and mass killings of civilians in response in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022.
This is really hard to "rise up" when the regime usually shuts off the internet and mass murders everyone while the world stays quiet. This is the first time since 2009 that people are paying attention to what's going on Iran and it's not just young people that are out fighting together. You saw Obama himself admit on that podcast recently he messed up by ignoring Iranian people during their 2009 uprising. This time it's even more widespread in Iran but they need the world to stop dealing with the regime via trade and diplomatic relations to actually be able to get rid of them. You can't overthrow the mullahs if we're just gonna give them another nuclear deal and lots of access to their money and trade and they use that power to kill everyone inside.

I agree but I do wonder if it’s a translation issue. I speak a middle-eastern language and it’s very common to say “police’s baton kills” or “at the hands of the police”. I don’t know how to explain it but mentioning the weapon doesn’t remove the agency and in that language it would indeed make me think of a bloody beating with a baton. Reading it in English though it sounds like a random baton slipped and fell off a window and landed on someone or something.

tbh that's not relevant. A baton is non-lethal because you can use it to control someone without killing them. If you kill someone with it, either you did it on purpose or you were negligent.
