You might not like what he would wish to say, he doesn't necessarily see things through an American lens.
He may see this predicament as a foreshadowing of upcoming events here.

His silence is deafening.
Many freedom-seeking Iranians will be killed and imprisoned while he goes about pursuing his place in history.
Only, it won’t be what he thinks it will be.

I suspect he is praying for the recovery of Khamenei. :-(

This is a very telling picture. If crowds no longer fear riot police or security forces and can mercilessly pelt them with rocks, tipping point may have been indeed reached.
Unless the regime declare martial law and bring in troops to shoot anybody that moves. However, it can also make things worse. They can't be everywhere at all times, and while they managed to quell uprising in one part of the country, it will inflame folks in other regions further.
Lately, two pillars of 'Axis of Evil' wobbling badly. More so for Iran than N. Korea.
Good luck to all freedom-loving Iranians.
