The death of Mahsa Amini (which, contrary to the CIA-driven propaganda, was from natural causes) was seized upon by the CIA as the trigger for unleashing this weaponized opposition. In the weeks and months that followed, Iran was subjected to massive domestic political unrest and violence which the US tried to leverage into regime-change potential akin to what was done on the Maidan in Kiev, Ukraine, in February 2014. This effort failed, and Iran emerged from the violence stronger and more unified than ever behind the very government the US tried to overthrow.
