      8. It is often male analysts insensitive to the indignities of women living in Iran who claim that protests are solely driven by economic frustration. Follow the great @AlinejadMasih to learn more

      9. Human beings everywhere find corruption, repression, and injustice even more insulting when it's conducted from a moral pedestal. Transparency international ranks Iran--an Islamist theocracy--131/176 countries on the corruption indexhttps://www.transparency.org/country/IRN

      10. Another stat: During Iran’s 2009 protests less than 1m people had smart phones, few outside Tehran. Today 48 MILLION people have them. State-controlled media is less potent when people have independent news sources-and video cameras-in their pocket http://techrasa.com/2017/07/19/48-million-smartphones-iran/ …

      11. Another notable stat: A 2017 Gallup “Global Emotions” ranked Iran #3 in the world in “Highest Negative Experiences” (i.e. daily frustration/anger) after Iraq and South Sudan, of 142 countries surveyed: http://news.gallup.com/reports/212648/gallup-global-emotions-report-2017.aspx …

      12. I still find it remarkable these protests began in deeply religious/traditional cities like Mashhad and Qom, long considered to be government strongholds. It is akin to national anti-Trump protests beginning in Kentucky

      13. Many folks in the West are obsessed with comparing Iran to Saudi Arabia. Most Iranians resent this comparison. You’ll never meet an Iranian who says, “I’m content w/ my life b/c we have more freedoms than Saudi.” Increasingly the latter is not even true anymore.

      14. There are several folks offering commentary in the Western media who were/are employed by official Iranian government political/media organs. They should be transparent about this, just as former US officials are transparent about their work experience

      15. This video reflects a common sentiment one hears among younger Iranians toward their parent’s generation, who brought down an authoritarian monarchy only to usher in an even more authoritarian (politically, economically, and socially) theocracy https://twitter.com/ArminNavabi/status/947914927129448452 …

      16. Laura Secor’s book ‘Children of Paradise’ covers Iran's generational divides well. It's terrific book on Iran's contemporary history https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XIYG5YK/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …

      17. Regimes totally untethered from the West-like Iran-can commit far greater brutality against their own population. Hosni Mubarak couldn’t mass murder/gas/displace civilians like Bashar Assad, who needn't worry that Tehran/Moscow will stop providing him military/financial aid
