Executions of 550+ and counting. Target practice, controlling protestors, murders, whatever you want it's not good, I'll agree.
They should just comply with whatever they say!
And nobody gets hurt.

Right, but one is American cities with different opinions on immigration.
The other is a Muslim country with religious, cultural differences that the US wants to intervene with an ideological fix.
But, America First ? Not really
Actually, breaking the BRICS bloc is absolutely America First.

I actually care and thx to all that keep us safe from all foreign actors.
But, POTUS' not understanding this, and pucking/choosing what He can get out of it is diff.
Its not just about Oil, as he needs a deal for whatever the threat. That's the diff in leadership

It’s 2:45 a.m. in Iran, and here are my 14 detailed key observations from Day 16 of the nationwide uprising [January 12]:
1 Iran’s nationwide protests have entered their sixteenth day amid a near-total internet blackout—now affecting even limited Starlink access—making it extremely difficult to send videos out of the country. Despite this, at least two verified videos have emerged from Tehran, showing large crowds once again taking to the streets in the capital. Another video shows a large gathering of families of those killed at Behesht-e Zahra cemetery chanting “Seyed Ali (Khamenei) will be overthrown” Additional videos are circulating online, but at this stage I cannot independently verify them.
2 Around 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, videos from the previous day surfaced indicating widespread protests in Urmia, Ahvaz, and Gorgan. More footage from today’s demonstrations is expected to emerge as time passes.
3 Iran’s internet shutdown has now exceeded 100 hours, with serious disruptions even affecting Starlink connections. This marks an unprecedented communications blackout. Meanwhile, regime-affiliated media outlets continue to enjoy privileged internet access. Observers inside Iran warn that the prolonged shutdown is inflicting severe and escalating economic damage on the regime itself.
4 Limited messages received—from individuals who exited the country today or through text-based communications from inside Iran—suggest that localized protests are continuing in some neighborhoods, particularly between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. These messages also report that security forces in Tehran are going door to door, entering residential apartment buildings and confiscating satellite dishes.
5 In an exclusive report, Fox News cited its sources as saying protests are ongoing in Isfahan, Iran’s third-largest city. Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi has also said she received messages from Iran indicating a high number of killed and wounded being brought to hospitals.
6 According to Saberi, eyewitness testimony relayed by a doctor, indicate that security forces pressed a gun to a woman’s back and shot her at point-blank range. The eyewitness reported that children are being deliberately targeted to deter parents from bringing them to protests. Victims with direct gunshot wounds, bullets to the buttocks, and even stab wounds have been brought in for treatment. One injured man was reportedly told, “Let your Shah come and save you.”
7 Iran’s police chief appeared on state television and once again issued open threats, declaring: “We will arrest the terrorists to the very last one.” The regime’s Ministry of Intelligence also claimed it had arrested 15 individuals allegedly linked to Iran International and Manoto for sending videos abroad.
8 State media has broadcast forced confessions, including claims that “Zionists” instructed detainees to shoot protesters in the head. Iran’s foreign minister, without presenting evidence, alleged that protesters were told from abroad to kill police—and if not possible, civilians—to raise the death toll and provoke international military intervention.
9 At the same time, regime media heavily promoted pro-government rallies, claiming three million people turned out in support. During these events, Ali Larijani dismissed Donald Trump as someone who “talks too much and should not be taken seriously.” The regime’s parliament speaker called Trump a “delusional gambler,” while the president labeled the United States and Israel as “criminal.” Protesters were also compared to ISIS, with state media claiming they had “outdone the Mongols.”
10 A pro-regime analyst on state TV called for financial damages to be extracted from celebrities who support the protests. In another case, authorities announced that a factory owner in Tehran who encouraged workers to protest would have his factory confiscated. A senior security official again labeled the protests as “terrorism” and promised that “terrorists” would soon be unveiled.
11. Internationally, condemnation of the regime’s actions continues to grow. Donald Trump threatened Iran’s economic partners with a 25% tariff, while reports of possible negotiations with the regime have alarmed Iranian activists, who warn that Tehran seeks only to buy time under pressure. Still, experts argue that a behind-the-scenes deal is unlikely, pointing to Trump’s posture and rising speculation about imminent military action against the regime.
12. Messages of support from the Trump administration toward Iranian protesters have increased, and Iranian activists have repeatedly emphasized the need to target the regime’s repression apparatus and top decision-makers.
13. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, in a public message, stated: “We are not alone. Global assistance is coming. Wait for my next messages. We will soon reclaim our beloved Iran from the Islamic Republic.” In a subsequent interview, he confirmed that he is in contact with President Trump’s administration.
14. Outlook: Protests are expected to continue at least into tomorrow in Tehran and several other cities. Due to the ongoing internet blackout, obtaining a clear real-time picture from inside Iran remains extremely difficult. Foreign intelligence services with assets on the ground may be able to release more reliable information. While the scale of protests has declined due to mass killings, localized demonstrations and activity in major cities persist. Based on incoming messages from inside Iran, public attention is increasingly focused on external assistance, and expectations in that regard are clearly rising.
