You got all your information about Iran from their geopolitical enemies, Iran isn't perfect by any means and we don't have to like it, but it's democratic and much, much better than every other state in the region
Doesn't change the fact that they just cut down an anti-government protest, killing at least 6000.
Where did you get that number, and did you even bother to check the facts on the ground? Are you unaware that the peaceful protestors met with gov officials and actually got an agreement, and because of that rioters related to Mossad and the CIA started killing random ass civilians, police officers and setting all sorts of buildings on fire, especially mosques? How dare you regurgitate western media narratives without even bother to look deep into it against a country being bombed RIGHT NOW by those western countries? Do you not know that most confirmed deaths are civilians and gov employees, not protestors? Or do you believe those who LITERALLY bombed a school for girls as one of their first acts of aggression in the names of the rights for women? And they KILLED their leadership, but the country did not collapse, you know why? Because it's still a Republic that has the support of most of the population, at least during war.
Iranians living in Iran? Because if they're not the ones being bombed their opinion isn't any more important than yours or mine, and unlike your anecdotal experience I actually speak from a place of knowing history and listening to Iranians IN Iran.
