i think this happens when the protests are truly grassroots. if this would be done by the cia/soros/ned, we would hear all about it from the msm

Ditto.

Edit: Especially if it's grassroots anarchists revolutionary activity.
They know better than to give Americans ideas about actual democracy and "rule by and for the people".

That's perhaps a good point. However it's also true that the CIA has been targeting Iran for a very long time now and maybe they are taking in to account what you said so are not playing it on the MSM as much

By the 19th, Amnesty International said that at least 106 people had been killed and that the number may be much higher. The Iranian government called it “baseless allegations and fabricated figures.” Meanwhile, a UN agency said that it was looking to be more like 200 and Anarchists on the ground put the figure closer to 3/500.

From information from newsbud: The CIA has been busy in Iran for a long time already. This is part of their plan. The war is still on a pause, so the country is now attacked from the inside. The US still must have their oil.
