    I confirm, having seen geolocated videos. The aftermath in Tehran (if you want to search: “Kahrizak Forensic Medicine center” is one keyword) was 100+ body bags. This must be multiplied by some number of cities.

    Since the Iranian government is no longer holding back, there does not appear to be need for anyone else to hold themselves back.

    People who can should try to achive the defection of military units.

    If this is impossble, delivering weapons and explosives to rebel groups while damaging government communications and coordination - seems the next best option.

    But it could be late. Protesters might be unable to take this level of casualties for long.

      Well, he promised to protect those people. I think he better start doing that until it’s late, because threatening to intervene did not work.

      But there are no US fleets stationed near Iran at this time. If some move towards Iran, they’ll move slowly. AirTraffic isn’t indicating a large movement of planes either - although military planes may keep their transponders off.

      It very much seems he’ll be late and everyone who risked their life will be dead soon, and protests are going to be suppressed in a matter of days.
