Iran is attempting to distance itself from the already out of control tensions in both countries. However, local allies and armed groups being targeted by Iraqi and Lebanese demonstrators are making it quite challenging for Tehran to remain in the shadows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are a new awakening and realization among these Arab nations about the devastating impact of Iran\u2019s belligerence in their countries. And these protests are a sign of regional nations slamming their fists down hard and saying enough is enough. Online videos from Iraq show demonstrators, despite the violent crackdown that has leftover 250 dead and several thousand injured, bravely chanting \u201cIran out, out! Iraq will remain free.\u201d Demonstrators are also stamping on and vividly insulting images of Khamenei and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/terrorism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IRGC Quds<\/a>\u00a0Force chief <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/26763-quds-force-s-arm-in-iraq-holy-shrines-reconstruction-headquarters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Qassem Soleimani<\/a>, who was behind the massacre of peaceful protesters in Karbala, where black-clad and masked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/26746-widespread-presence-of-iranian-regime-s-irgc-quds-force-in-iraq-under-diplomatic-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quds Force<\/a> gunmen killed 18 and injured 865. The Iranian regime\u2019s flag has been burned in several Iraqi cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, the regime in Iran understands very well that such protests in Iraq and Lebanon can portray a weak Tehran apparatus and a good target for a new round of protests and a nationwide uprising by the Iranian people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>Struan Stevenson is the Coordinator of the Campaign for Iran Change (<\/i><i>CIC<\/i><i>).
