Very curious choice of words. Most Iranians I have known have been very nice, decent people. I suspect there are some among the military that despise the mullahs as much as the civilian population does.
There were about a dozen at the community college I attended in late ‘79 through early ‘81. I helped one of them pretty extensively in a class we shared. The Iranian people, by and large, would just as soon be rid of their theocratic overlords, I believe.
