Your iranian friends are american bruh. Iranian diaspora protesting in the US are americans. If these "well meaning" iranians haven't learned a thing about US intervention in the region, they're not "well meaning". They want their ex-country destroyed out of resentment and pettiness, just like the average miami cuban or venezuelan. These people do not understand "nuance" at all, they're just full contrarians.

I mean like the entire protest origin is due to financial pressure caused by US sanctions, why are these "well meaning" US citizens iranians not protesting against their US goverment to relief the pressure on their own country and people?
