Iranians' dilemma: they are all tyrants

*"They [the US and Israel] are also lying! Like the regime has been lying
to us," said Amir, a student at the University of Tehran. "You are all worse than each other."*
It appears to Iranians that Israel and the US are attacking infrastructure rather that the regime's SS-equivalent, trying to weaken Iran for the long term rather than free Iran.
It doesn't surprise me that they were only trying to use the Iranians who have opposed the Iranian tyranny. Neither Netanyahu nor the bullshitter cares about human rights, democracy, or well being, not those of ordinary people in any country, and neither one hesitates to lie.
Even so, with even a lick of sense they would have tried carefully to protect those Iranians and keep them on our side. It would not have cost much.
