I don’t think so. The culture and temperament of the people of Iran are a great deal different than China, the Iranians are armed with technology and knowledge. They have also in recent memory overthrown their government before. From the reports, they are building rappor with the police.
Finally, if 60% of your populace decides it has had enough, it is going to be near impossible for them to kill or imprison them all.
God bless the people of Iran!

Unfortunately, you may be right...

Exactly what I thought. A blood bath is headed their way. Truly sorrowful.

I’m thinking it’ll be more along the lines of what happened in Romania when Ceausescu was overthrown. It only took an relatively modest gathering of protesters against the arrest of a catholic priest in Timisoara to spark a nationwide protest numbering in the millions unequivocally demanding freedom. Tienanmen was a gathering confined within a small area, much easier for the Army to quell. It appears the Iranian protests have grown beyond the ability of the military to fully put them down.
