Obviously, that didn't happen.
The regime completely ignored President Trump's warning and went ahead and carried out one of the biggest killings in the past year.

Now that the killings have taken place, the question is whether the protesters demand some of them for regime change will be met.

the protesters, in fact, in a way that surprised really many, many observers in Iran, providing a positive vision, not just something against a dictatorship, but really through AI images that have proliferated inside the country with social media, that people have a vision that
And that vision is becoming a powerful country, economically prosperous, something like Iran's neighbors in the south, like UAE and Saudi Arabia.
And that kind of image is what the young people are yearning for.
