Summary: the Iranian government has intensely used lethal force on protesters. In Tehran alone, several hundred people have been killed. In the whole country - most likely several times more.

In short, your proposal, is to do nothing while they get killed.
I’m going to ignore your proposal and try doing something, even if ineffective.
Western intervention in regime change will kill far more Iranians than doing nothing. I could be wrong about that, but the West does not have a good track record.
I think it’s also important to note that the current Iranian regime took power from the brutal dictator that was installed by western powers who overthrew a democratic government.
I sympathise with the Iranian people who are suffering. I just don’t see a way to intervene that won’t make things worse.
That’s what you call it.
Generationally, leaving neighbours and others to do their own thing is actually quite hard.
Do what you will. But don’t call yourself an anarchist then either.
And I’m positive that if your main concern is to do something, there is plenty to do in your own country or neighbourhood.
Oh pardon me, high gatekeeper of the anarchist label, for offending thee ever since 2006, whence I usurped that label and filed off the serial numbers too.
Hey pot, meet kettle
Anyway, if you’re that easily offended, you should not call yourself something that triggers you when one anonymous internet dweep on his high horse riding in to the sunset calls you out for briefly not being very anarchistic (unless you’re already in Iran now, because borders are a nation-state control mechanism, and you’re protesting side by side with some protesters that need your Eastern-European ass more than the many refugees trying to find a better life in Europe)
Due to the trigger you didn’t really understand what I am trying to tell you, so anyhow, warm regards from here at the sunset.
