No, you're aiding fascists by siding with Israel and the US Empire. There's no organized, working class movement in Iran that was behind the protests, and in such conditions spontaneity gets swept up behind whatever is actively stirring the pot. Further, it's factually proven that Israel and the US have been arming rioters and offering reward money for kills.
This is why reading theory is necessary for anyone on the left, otherwise you make fundamental errors and end up supporting fascists that would be far worse for Iranians than their current theocracy.
