That's absolutely true.
More than 5 million according to this source:

But it is impossible to verify. Supposedly from EU intelligence:

It really upsets me that many western media are still sticking to that narrative. I think that is extremely detrimental to the people of Iran. He is by far the most feared by the regime, much more than the US.

Look, iIm not a fan of him or anything, I never gave him any attention before January. But the first thing you said is right, the people there should decide.
Around his fall political opponents have heavily exaggerated wrongdoings for political reasons, incl the US (1/2)

Many things are not too bad in Iran, and certainly better that Afghanistan for example, but human rights are absolutely horrible:

Read a few of these stories. I'd think twice before supporting this government.

Absolutely true that many improvements continued under this regime, but the shah laid the foundation in a remarkable way.
Overall literacy: 17.5% → 48.5%, Female literacy: 9% → 37.5%, Life expectancy: 41 → 56 years.
Thats' pretty impressive. Not just rich people profiting.

Millions of people came to the street in January shouting his name and risking their lives, that says a lot.
It's always easy to be skeptical and much harder to do something good. He has enough money and still dedicated his life to this.

Interesting reference. Appears to be an AI generated and nothing like that on BBC
Closest I found was this:
iranhrdc.org/irans-protest-m…
But the 100.000 are people is custody, not estimated protesters. Many in secret facilities.

True, but a pretty big percentage of Israeli's are also Arab. They are probably less likely to work with Mossad.

I wouldn't put much faith in BBC, so far they just seem to spread whatever the IRCG says.

During the last Shah Iran has made giant improvements in welfare, health, literacy, education and woman's rights.
Numbers also show that the regime has killed many times more civilians than any bombings from outside, so I am quite sure most worry more about that than bombs

Maybe it also depends on who it is. Reza Pahlavi made it very clear, for many years now, that he doesn't want to rule Iran.
Some see him as a symbol for the revolution, some as key figure to obtain democracy and some as a king of a democratic country. He has broad support now.

Ook Nederland stemde voor het Iraanse lidmaatschap van dit belangrijke VN Comité. Eerst de ontmoeting @MinPres Jetten met de Iraanse president Pezeshkian en nu dit. En dan nog beweren dat je je inzet voor de mensenrechten in #Iran. Dat gelooft toch niemand meer…

My country, Denmark, has broad support for restrictive immigration policies. For example, our parliament has very sensibly decided that anyone sentenced to prison for rape should be permanently deported.
However, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that this would violate the rapist’s human rights. So now we have to let him back in after five years. At which point he can move back here, we will pay him welfare while he lives here, and he may well rape someone again.
This must end. It is not a human right for convicted foreign rapists to live in Europe. We must leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

I don't agree. Every design has advantages and disadvantages.
Having the bike path separated from the road is much safer for cyclists.
The cyclists should just slow down.

If monarchy is so horrible, why don't you do something against it? Don't you live in a kingdom yourself?

You retarded IRCG hugger. The regime hangs more kids for protesting every year than Iranians civilians got killed in the whole war.

Unbelievable ho naive some educated people can be!
There's less than 8 million jews in Israel, you really think Mossad has more than 5 million agents in Iran?
Or do you think more than 5 million Iranians go to the streets to get shot because Mossad wants them to?

The bus stops are not the problem, pricks ignoring zebra crossings are.
People driving through them full speed should be reminded at the end with a small tap on the side of the steering wheel.

I think that's a pretty good line actually. If I'll ever find myself single again I'll remember that.
Did he say he heard rumors that most Iranian buildings get replaced after a few decades and that they might be after his special super secret cement mixing techniques?

CENTCOM has told Israeli military officers in the US to get ready for the war with Iran to resume, possibly soon. The same message went to the Gulf states, a US official told Kan.
Two US carriers are in the region since June, the Roosevelt arrives next week, and about 200 aerial refueling aircraft are at bases across the Middle East and Europe.
Another US official says Tehran came back with new demands and "overreached."
Of course it did. This regime has never honored a deal and never will.
Trump also pulled Vance off the Iran talks and told him to focus on issues at home. That's not a setup for more talks. That's a sign the strikes may come soon. The only language this regime understands is pressure.
