On the way to Revolution, things typically get worse before they get better - as authoritarian governments start losing control of the street they invariably increase the intensity of their repression and that’s what trigger a similarly violent response from the population, i.e. the actual Revolution.
The American/Israeli War Of Agression almost certainly walked the whole process back, “wasting” the lives that were lost when the Iranian Government responded to the increased discontent with increase repression.
True, before there was no guarantee that what followed that increased repression was a the public responding by themselves increasing their actions against the government - as murderous government repression doesn’t always trigger a successful mass violent response from the population - now that will for certain not happen because even an oppressive regime is still a “protector” in the eyes of most of the locals when a bunch of murderous foreigners (and both the US and Israel are undeniably massively murderous towards muslims in the Middle East) attacks the nation, so even those in Iran who desire change have to keep their mouths shut since the majority don’t want to risk losing those who have “protected” them from the murderous foreigners.
