And since 1979, they've had this Islamic regime.

which has an ideology which has put it in conflict with some of its Arab neighbours, with the Israelis, with the Europeans, and particularly with the Americans, who say it's a terrorist state with nuclear ambitions.

But the regime and its supporters, they say that their enemies want to destroy the Islamic Republic, and it seems that there are still millions of people who vote in elections for the hardliners who believe that.

So they include that amongst their enemies, those protesters who went on the street and were chanting those slogans and who were shot in many cases.

Now, look, if you look at regimes that collapse, just sort of die, it doesn't look like one of those regimes, because sometimes regimes fight for years, like Syria's Assad.

Woman shot dead by US immigration agent
