When the U.S. and Israel launched a massive joint strike on the Islamic Republic’s military infrastructure, something unexpected happened — many Iranians celebrated. Join us as we explore why so many citizens inside and outside Iran reacted with relief, the deep divide between Iran and its regime, the IRGC’s brutal legacy, and what regime change could mean for one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Our breakdown covers Operation Epic Fury, the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Women Life Freedom movement, the January 2026 massacre, and how decades of repression under Velayat-e-Faqih pushed millions to welcome foreign intervention. What do Iranians truly want? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
