Here are other stories that followed after the link at #1,619;

One of the many US hostages held years ago at the time of the overthrow had this to say: “Barry Rosen, former US hostage held in Iran during the 1979 revolution described the ongoing protests as a breaking point unlike any since, with Iranians showing resolve after being pushed past limits.

“I was held hostage in Iran for 444 days. Forty-six years later, I can say this with absolute clarity: what is happening in Iran right now is unlike anything I have seen since,” Rosen posted on X on Friday.

“This is not a moment of unrest — it is a breaking point. The Iranian people are acting with the resolve of a nation that has been pushed past its limits,” he added.

“The regime is brutal, but the people’s determination is stronger than I have ever seen. Their fight is not symbolic — it is existential. And the outcome will define Iran’s future for generations,” Rosen said.”

This was followed by a story concerning Jeb Bush praising the Iran protesters.
