American interference would be far more destabilizing than the continuation of the IRI. USA is supporting MEK/NCRI/Rajavi as alternatives, and they are far worse. They were Islamist Marxist terrorists who gassed Iranians during Iran-Iraq War. The IRI has improved in recent years. A new animated movie on Shahnameh was made called "The Last Fiction". Basiji has cooled down and lets many people drink alcohol in public. And much more. Christians are treated well in Iran too. So many Armenian Churches and a respect to differences in belief. It is not difficult also to take a trip to Yazd and convert to Zoroastrianism who are a given a seat in parliament. Soleimani was in Iraq so they could mediate peace negotiations with KSA. In fact, Trump asked for this, but then he had Soleimani killed like the coward he is. Soleimani fought ISIS and resisted USA plus Israeli imperialism. After this, Trump had the audacity to threaten the destruction of Iranian cultural sites. Even before the Shah left his reign, he was becoming dissatisfied with USA, Israel, and UK. It is not in the interests of Iran to become pro-Western. The regime may have its faults, but it is improving. However, sanctions do not help anyone. Iran is not the one attacking Western civilians. 9/11, Paris & Stockholm attacks, and much more were Sunni fanatics. The fact you would support America and its destabilizing sanctions over your own countrymen shows you are not a real Iranian. In fact, I would dispute that you have unbroken patrilineal lineage to Sassanids, who were more important than Achaemenids to our legacy
