Is this report a hoax?

From last month and still ongoing:
With Brutal Crackdown, Iran Convulsed by Worst Unrest in 40 Years
https://theunionjournal.com/with-brutal-crackdown-iran-convulsed-by-worst-unrest-in-40-years-2

Note the above report is not a loner, it was repeated in several news outlets.

And are all these people in on the hoax you say they are playing out?

Seriously, post some on-the-ground information from Iran, Iraq, Europe that backs up your assertions. People want to hear your sources and want to see how you assemble information to draw your conclusions. Or is it just hot vacuous air?. If it is, that's Ok. You have a right to burp, belch, fart, drool as you wish from your keyboards. If you can't back it up. it's assumed that's what you're doing.

Nothing matters, until people are angry enough to start assassinating mullahs and torching mosques.

There might be a significant percentage who hate the mullahs. But the mullahs have the underclass on their side, who are dependent upon the regime’s subsidies, and who will fight and kill anyone who might threaten that.

The UJ article is dated 12/03/19. It is known that Iran had protests. The Hong Kong protests and impeachment nonsense may have eclipsed them at that time. To me, it demonstrated that the mullahs did not have an iron grip on the populace.

You're either a nitwit or don't understand what you read.

I repeat :
I, for one, need a lot more convincing that whether or not Iranians hate the regime determines whether or not they'd resist a foreign invader kicking the regime out and then hanging around as occupiers for twelve to twenty years.

How much people like or dislike their rulers doesn't translate one for one into how much they're resist or praise an invader.

Oops, I forgot the to include Neocon Stooge troll in the list of possible reasons for your choosing to basically change the subject to some set of articles that agree with the crowd who think staying in Iraq sixteen years and Afghanistan nineteen years is a good thing as long as it's not their butt, arm, leg, or internal organs, on the line.
