The foreign intervention Iranians want is the lifting of sanctions, experts say

Despite widespread protests in Iran driven by economic pressure, the majority of Iranians do not desire foreign military intervention. Instead, experts argue that the population's primary demand from the international community is the lifting of crippling US sanctions. These sanctions are seen as weakening the middle class, a potential driver for organic political change, and their removal could create space for domestic reform. While the protests are significant in size, they are considered unlikely to lead to a government overthrow as they currently lack a unified leader.
