How many young girls have to die at the hands of police before the population rises up?

Dude they have been protesting for 43 years. The past while alone they had mass protests and mass killings of civilians in response in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022.

This is really hard to "rise up" when the regime usually shuts off the internet and mass murders everyone while the world stays quiet. This is the first time since 2009 that people are paying attention to what's going on Iran and it's not just young people that are out fighting together. You saw Obama himself admit on that podcast recently he messed up by ignoring Iranian people during their 2009 uprising. This time it's even more widespread in Iran but they need the world to stop dealing with the regime via trade and diplomatic relations to actually be able to get rid of them. You can't overthrow the mullahs if we're just gonna give them another nuclear deal and lots of access to their money and trade and they use that power to kill everyone inside.

Agree that the world needs to stop making a deal with this regime. They are tyrannical liars that will break any deal.

Yup, and as we have already witnessed it in Ukraine invasion, the world can put a lot of pressure on a brutal government.

Honesty it rly makes me wonder if there is some sort of "profit" for the west in the existence of Islamic regime, cause I personally don't see any other reason for this inaction.

This is what am I wondering. If you are her parents, siblings or relatives, what is stopping you at this point?

Depends on the family and where you live. In some places, they blame daughters for everything.

They are rising up, but unarmed protests cannot stop a totalitarian government willing to use as much force as necessary.

The only reason the revolution in 1979 happened was Jimmy Carter told the Shah not to crack down so hard.

That's all true, but people rising up is the only way the nightmare ends.

The population is rising up, they just don't have the means to force change on their own.

The real question is, how many young girls have to die before welfare queens in militaries across the world do something?

Oh right, some young girls aren't as important as others. My bad. I'll be sure to whisper it in their ear as they're being bludgeoned to death. "Some redditors think American soldiers helping you right now would cause WW3. But you're so brave!"

The West invaded Iraq and installed a democratically elected government and has gotten nothing but grief from it.

The answer isn't to change the regime. It's to protect and relocate innocent civilians to safer nations.
