There were literally thousands of Americans who stormed the capitol on January 6, 2021. Do you think their will to overturn the election should have been carried out?

Nope, but also can't see any resemblance with the Iranian situation.

"The people" rising up and making demands. You seem to think dozens of people making a demand should have the backing of foreign intervention. What do you think of thousands making demands? Why support one and not the other?

Their demanding being to destroy democracy or instead implementing it. But I guess you can't see that difference.
