The Iranian people need meaningful international support to overcome the regime's security apparatus and achieve success in their protests.

“But if they don't get some meaningful support uh in some fashion from the international community, it it can't happen because the Iranian regime has no upside in giving up power.”

The vast majority of the Iranian population is opposed to the current regime.

“as far as the percentage of people who are against the regime in Iran, it's at a steady 85%. And we know this because we've had consistent polling throughout, you know, the the past several decades that reveal that the great majority of the people are against the regime.”
