I'd guess there were paid agitators. Not all. But in a protest , sometimes you just need 1 guy to throw the first stone.

You know around WW1. German intelligence sent a one " lenin" back to Russia to be an agitator against the monarchy there.

I think so, it’s a complicated situation that overwhelmingly has stemmed from economic hardship from American sanctions. Then trump decides he’s going to put extra tariffs on countries trading with Iran. I still fail to believe that they would burn their mosques which leads me to believe there’s outside interference contributing

Id guess that too. Seems fairly common to have paid agitators and protesters these days

Saudi Arabia has rejected use of their airspace to America to attack Iran too, it’s all going to be very interesting how this plays out? There’s no doubt trump will do this, but who becomes involved and how could draw a few in with like minded interests as Iran? Israel are still bombing Lebanon and Iran had said they will attack American embassies and Israel, and I think some might join them? Perhaps even embassies of allies to America?

I've got no idea. It's just another take of the situation that may or may not be true.

Although pure speculation its safe to assume that Israel at-least would have assets involved given who it is.
Not saying they orchestrated but like some small material support for groups that already had started organising. Also helpful for them to push groups that have favourable views to them.

I've heard a theory that the plan is:
A) America attacks Iran.
B) Iran decides it needs to prioritise itself and so gives less - in terms of money, intelligence, arms etc - to Hamas and Hezbollah.
C) Seeing Hamas and Hezbollah weaken, Israel goes back into Gaza/into Lebanon big time and eventually Hamas and Hezbollah are destroyed/give up. Cue more acknowledgements of Israel's right to exist from the leadership, which leads to civil war within those two groups...
Sounds intriguing, not sure it that's actually the plan or if it's a workable plan...

Trump takes the unusual step of thanking Iran for cancelling executions of political prisoners
The US president says he “greatly respects” the decision after threatening US military strikes in support of the nationwide protests.

Bit of a simmering from trump. You’d have to be a complete dipshit to think those spared of hanging were even in his mind as to why when a left wing protester shot in the head got what she deserved in his own country in his mind. For those that like to use the term fuck around and find out, America is aware that this is the case for them and Israel. I have no doubt trump will at some stage, but I think there’s getting a realisation that this will create a large scale conflict

Do you think this Iranian situation is an internal uprising, Israel/US instigated or perhaps a mix of both?Trump takes the unusual step of thanking Iran for cancelling executions of political prisoners

I think a mix of both. It’s getting increasingly tougher to trust the platforms providing the information. When I see something, I try to see if multiple places are reporting the same thing. Not fool proof either but a better indication than a sole report

I think you are right. I think the timing has been right to get some of the Iranian people out in the streets and I think there is or has to be some Israel/US influence there as well.
I read somewhere that the majority of funding for Hamas, Hezbollah etc flows through Iran. I don't know if that's correct or not but if it is and Iran's current regime falls it will have interesting implications for the rest of the middle east.
Where does the majority of Israel's funding come from?

The reason I don’t see it being an easy fight is because of the footage I posted yesterday of who would be in charge if the regime topples and being very complementary towards America and Israel. I don’t think the whole area wants that and will show that accordingly, Iran has already threatened American embassies and Israel directly and on state tv has pledged to assassinate trump. Almost a show of respect from trump to thank them for sparing people he couldn’t give a shit about

Certainly not going to be an easy fight. And it will likely be someone more complementary to America and Israel to take over. By the whole area, do you mean the middle east or just Iran. Either way the answer is no the whole area won't want that, and for various reasons. I'm not sure it's a show of respect from Trump. Actually quite diplomatic I thought after threatening action if Iran continued o kill people. Thinking about it now it was probably more of a boast and posturing by Trump. I warned them of action if they continued, they didn't, thanks for that.
