Iranians inside the country voiced profound devastation and a feeling of abandonment after the United States finalized a deal with the Iranian regime. Many citizens had harbored hopes that the current government would fall, making the U.S. agreement particularly disheartening.
"They simply lied," one citizen remarked, reflecting a widespread sentiment of betrayal. This feeling is amplified by the fact that the United States had previously launched actions against the very regime now subject to a new agreement. The contrast between past U.S. policy and the recent deal has left many Iranians feeling forgotten and unsupported in their aspirations for change.
The description highlights a stark disconnect between the expectations of the Iranian populace and the geopolitical decisions made by international powers. The move by Washington is seen by many as a blow to the internal movement seeking regime change, leaving them feeling isolated in their struggle.
