And they'd already been killing/imprisoning "traitors" by the thousands after the Israel/US strikes.

Do we have any indication of whether the regime is under any real threat from the protests?

How much concrete support does the Iranian government have?

I fear the mullahs will end up having had more than 10,000 of their fellow Iranians murdered, on the streets, in their homes or when held in prison.

As far as I know we have no idea what is going on besides lots of people have been killed.

Signs point to "no"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

From a German journalist of Iranian descent - I don't know how true all of these are but they're heart-breaking:

Messages from #Iran

,,I don't know how to live with so much pain and grief"
,,you cannot imagine what happened"
,,nothing will be like before"
,,is the world even ready to face this calamity? Is it capable of not turning its eyes away?"
,,at night their storm private houses, kicking the doors"
,,all of us are in pain, in anger, and full of hate"
,,there are floods of people in Isfahan's cemetery. They brought the corpses in refrigerated trucks. Blood was dripping from the trucks"
,,I am utterly hopeless and exhausted. I cannot imagine something happening from within. They have infiltrated us more than you think. They have everything to kill each and everyone of us"
,,The Islamic Republic was right when it promised to feed the people. Yes, they fed us bullets"
,,The situation reminds me of Orwell's 1984. Everywhere you hear and see their propaganda while you've lost the ability to speak because of the terror they have imposed on us"
,,They killed the protester. He had a tattoo on his middle finger that showed a crown. They also shot through this finger"

I know there's the mourning cycle which was an engine in the Iranian Revolution and may happen but it sounds very grim :(
Let's bomb Russia!
