Summary: the Iranian government has intensely used lethal force on protesters. In Tehran alone, several hundred people have been killed. In the whole country - most likely several times more.

    I think the US is not currently capable of “taking over” Iran, and that should not be a goal.

    But it might be capable of assisting the protesters enough for them to prevail. I just worry that it won’t, and there will be a considerably bigger massacre in Iran than the ones that have occurred in recent history.

    A thing to fear would be a prolonged civil war in Iran.
