In short: Iran’s government sucks and probably deserves it

Not to imply that Iran’s government is utopian, but everything you know about it came from imperial core states, corporate media, and NGOs (which are funded by corporations), and the imperial core has wanted regime change in Iran ever since their comprador government was booted from Iran in 1979. Not as large a portion of Iranians are anti-government as we’re told, and almost none want to get bombed and then have their current government replaced with another comprador one like before.
