The people in Iran get to vote for people the government approves of. They have a council that "vets" anyone they don't like.
Their government, supreme leader and president are NOT representative of the people at all. So the decisions made are hardly the will of the people.

Yes, there were mobs in the streets. There were thousands of people. Among millions. But a vocal minority. Most of the people in the streets were paid participants. Same as the paid participants today when there are regime rallies.
This is how the media manipulated what was happening in Iran. They did a great job "selling" the story to the U.S. citizens and the entire world. Such a great job, that people still believe it today.

Thank you for making my point. People voting for a media illusion had fraud committed against them by groups more powerful than they and cannot be blamed for the consequences. The internet is finally waking people up to the huge fraud that has been perpetuated against them for a very long time.
