I'm inside Iran and got my hands on a working VPN, so I'm here to say what it feels like right now in the country and how people think. This is all from my own perspective and what I've seen in here.
Most people want an end to the regime and don't really see the war as an invasion on Iran. Before Jan 8th & 9th most people's idea was that we should change the regime ourselves, but after that massacre that changed to we either need weapons or outside help.
That's why most people actually want the war. It's the fastest way to weaken the regime. Actually right after the ceasefire announcement was one of the most depressed I've seen the people in town.
A lot of people have lost their jobs and everything gets more and more expensive every day. And unlike what I see outsiders saying, everybody in here blames the regime for it, not the sanctions or blockade or whatever. Specially because this all started before the war.
The one thing that has affected people's living most of all is not anything that the US did. It's the internet shutdown. Iran is a very digital country, and a lot of people's income depended on the internet either directly or indirectly. The internet shutdown has been the biggest source of job loss, and that's something the regime did.
The people are very sick of this regime, and even if before many thought the regime could change, that hasn't been the case in Iran for a few years now. People have tried to change those regime's ways for decades and we've seen nothing in return. That's why Iranians will just ignore anyone who says you should look for change from within or something like that.
After January, I can feel that people still hold a lot of tension and anger twords the regime. And I believe only a very small spark is needed to set off the people's anger into another revolt. And that spark could be anything. I think if people thought some support would be with them on the streets they wouldn't hesitate to start the protests again, and this time I imagine people would be much more violent twords the IRGC & Basijis, as we have a lot of anger twords them after January massacre.
Also the regime is trying their hardest to control the streets. They've gathered anyone who supports them to parade every day on every block of the city with regime flags, even if it's just 2 people every night. And they have created random checkpoints in some streets. Both of these feels like them trying to announce they're constantly in the streets so don't think about revolting.
The way I see it with the blockade, it will either end up in the war resuming and weakening them even more, or the people revolting and ending the regime.
Ask me anything you want. I'll answer if I can. I have limited data on my VPN but I'm trying to ration it and I think it will last a few more days.
