The regime is spectacularly unpopular with the majority of Iranians.

I get this a lot from a guy I do trust, and his old man is an Iranian immigrant, but I also recognize my sources are very biased against the regime.

Is there any good reporting out there or sentiment analysis that can show this? Or is it all word of mouth on the Internet? It's okay if there is nothing, but I'd feel a lot better if there was something substantial to back this up too.

Look up the demonstrations in Iran within the last ten years and/or since 2022.

How many of them are in favour of having their cities leveled by a rogue state?

I would be very interested in hearing an Iranian perspective on how daily life changed for people when the Islamic Republic deposed Pahlavi.

You can tell its a shitty one when a resource rich nation don’t prosper.

The number of resource rich nations that do prosper are few and far between. It’s more the exception than the rule.
