Lightly armed and unorganized civilians don't overthrow governments, even with foreign intelligence assistance. The military can overthrow the regime and did so against the pro-Soviet Mossadegh government in 1953. When there are civilian uprisings, they succeed only if the army and police stand down, as happened in the Eastern Bloc nations in 1989 and 1990.

I hope the citizens can overthrow the mullahs.Those mullahs wouldn't be running Iran if our government hadn't overthrown the Shah.

I hope we help them. Large gun drops would be great.
