If there's one thing you can reasonably predict, al-Jazeera is actually a good source when it comes to any problem Iran has..!

4 rockets fired from Syria into the Israeli Golan Heights, all 4 intercepted by Iron Dome, most likely culprit is Iran, probably just flexing.

I still feel like the Iranian Israeli feud is the stupidest geo political fued of all time.

Iran litterally has a huge number of hostle nations between it and Isreal, geo politically in any sane country this means either two countries are neutral to each other or allies. Iran deliberatly made an enemy it didnt need, one that had helped it during its war with Iraq. The smart move is just ignore Israel or use them to run diplomatic interferance to get america to leave them be.
 
Reason one is fanatism, reason two is that Shah had good relations with Israel, reason three is that while entire Arab world is hostile to Israel, they mostly abandoned the fight, so by actualy fighting the evil Zionist entity they are UPSTAGING THEM ALL!!! Virtue signaling can be bloody in that region.

Do they have Charlie Chaplin style moustaches? Also, I bet that most of the West don’t even know they exist

Actually, in hindsight, I think most of the West barely knows much about middle eastern politics in-detail than some abridged stuff about how its Israel’s fault for being white

You're on to something here. Let's not forget that Iran is still a part of the Ummah, and, in effect, also the chief representative of Shia Islam on the global stage. As such, their thinking may be that if they do this sort of stuff better than anyone else, if they are the ones who show the all the infidels their place while everyone else fails to do so, they will make a strong case for Shia version of Islam among the rest of the Ummah, which besides its inherent value for the believers will also greatly assist with Iran's ambitions within the region aswell.

More or less, precisely so, the Gulf Arabs fear Iran and her power considerably.

To be fair they certainly should. All nationalist dick waving aside. Persia is one of the the oldest civilizations around. They also spent a considerable amount of thier existence as a superpower. Directly ruling over much of the Arab world. Plus as we've clearly seen multiple times. The Arabs couldn't beat an army of kittens. I'd be scared in thier situation to...
 
So, if sporadic and limited videos of the Iranian protests are to be believed, this round seems significantly more violent than the various rounds of protesting the Green Movement has attempted in the last decade (there's alleged video of burning banks and police stations, allegations of outright tanks and machine-guns being used on protestors, and the figures for dead have already gone above the '09 or '17-18 protests--though those are preliminary and might be BS), but even the most visible response of internet connectivity getting cut by the regime alone seems like an indication of more concern on the part of the dictatorship. Which would seem to give creedance to the idea it's more widespread and major than previous protests and rioting.

Hopefully Iranians can kick out the batch of religious-fundamentalist nuts who run their government and establish a government more in keeping with their actual wants & desires. At this point, that seems like the only actual manner of changing things as reformist sensibilities have spent almost two decades being ignored or coopted for PR by a regime that insists on not reforming and carrying-on with the same model of foreign & domestic policy for personal profit and national 'power' that's done little to benefit their people.
