1. The brutal and savage Ayatollah regime SUPPORTED by its self serving military had starting shooting, killing and torturing captured civilians whom are only protesting at the hardships they faced daily.
2. The regime's military is the key to end the chaos. The regime presumed that after weeks of protesting, the protestors will peter out, due to fatigue and no income. and then brutally sentence the remaining protestors to death.
Such is FATAL thinking by the barbaric regime, because those protestors have a SOLID reason to protest.
a)With little or no investments as investors are frightened off by the monstrous regime confrontational national and foreign policies. there is little work left in Iran today.
b)Worse still, its currency Rial had to be devalued, only hurts not just the citizens but even the low to mid ranking soldiers and officers salaries to put food on the table for family and loved ones.
What had costs only a few rials had now cost twice as much and more while their salaries remained the same, but the workload is doubled.
c)Thus, what is the point of working, when one can't even feed oneself with the economic disasters that the evil regime had imposed? There is nothing left to live for, and thus the reason why the protests erupted instead of petering out, with HOPES for a better change to their circumstances than to continue the gift of life under the devilish regime..
Ending the protests now will only get most of them slaughtered, but to fight on may see a change to the regime, as the population of Iran is certainly MORE than the regime's bootlickers and military. There wont be enough bullets to kill all citizens.
2a). The military's role:-
a) the reason why youths would turn to military service is due to many reasons - patriotism, religious fervor, salary, etc, BUT ULTIMATELY, it is about protecting one's family, loved ones, relatives and friends, COLLECTIVELY.
b) In Iran, the recruitment and deployment of troops dept are not fools. In such situation of unrests, they will deploy troops that are FROM OTHER CITIES, and NOT local soldiers whom have families within their own cities, due to the fear that those soldiers will NOT kill or torture their own families, relatives and friends, would refuse to obey commands.
c) As soldiers are not born out of a vacuum, they have families, loved ones, relatives and friends. All the massive protestors needs to do is:-
i) send out a message to their sons serving in the military that troops from other cities such as Isfahan, or Tabriz, or Yazd, etc ARE TOTURING AND KILLING one's father, mother, kids, uncles, aunts, etc. Ask them WHERE ARE THEY WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT THEIR OWN FAMILIES.
ii) Familial ties are strong in Asian families, regardless of any brainwashing, political or religious. The family is the building block of Civilization, and worth defending.
iii) Officers and soldiers are facing the SAME issues that the protestors, which is highly representative of the Iran People, by the massive scale of protects in EVERY city, and the officers and soldiers are carrying weapons which can save and protect their own families.
Why defend the brutal regime and the military high commanders whom had already long prepared to run away by special aircrafts along with their treasury stolen funds that would ensure they would live a long financially secured life for the wickedness they had done to the Persian People, while the Nation burns, crumbles and starves?
