That guy has always been there, but I don't think Iranians like him that much.

I couldn't even tell you his name, that's how uninformed I am. Just trying to read the tea leaves in between living my life. Spidey sense tells me the overnight endorsement of new gov celebrated by people in the street and US politicians, is not to be trusted
They're trying to do the same thing as in Venezuela, which is to just switch out the figurehead at the top and take the oil.
But that doesn't mean that the Venezuelans and Iranians actually like their current leadership or have any Democratic means of electing any other leader. They _only_ have protest. But everytime they try to protest, Westerners tell them to stop because otherwise Israel might be happy. They are supposed to just rot under the current leadership, *forever*, as a sacrifice to all of the people who don't like Jews.
If _da joos_ say they like Bitcoin, should we all rush to sell it? Because of _Kontaktschuld_? This is the same bizarre mentality behind the German _Brandmauer_ against the AfD, where they refuse to table any laws that might appeal to conservatives, as they worry that the AfD might vote for it.
Iranians can and do vote in and out their Presidents and Parliament.
That's how the current Left-Statist incumbent managed to trash their economy. When Iranians vote for dumb policies, they actually get them.
They can't vote out the Guardian Council or the doddering Supreme Leader. That would be like us "voting away" the Deep State.
Less democracy than the USA. More than Romania or Ukraine. Possibly more than Australia.
