They know who the real enemy is, and it's the regime.
"Our Enemy Is Here, The Regime Lies & Says That It's America" -Iranian Men & Women At Friday Prayers
This is a huge escalation of events, Friday prayers are usually reserved to show the support the regime has, however, Iranians have used this event to voice their anger at the regime. They're chanting this slogan while waving their fists towards the mullah who's the representative of the supreme leader. They're essentially saying that the regime is their real enemy, and they're no longer going to fall for the regime's propaganda anymore.

I have a kind of addiction to the M/E, I try and keep a finger on the pulse and I must say, I am rather surprised at the events unfolding at near light speed in the M/E for the best.
We went from toppling Saddam, a dictator that was actually keeping the peace, in turn, giving Iran Mullahs exactly what they wanted all along.
Obozo comes along and helps Isis, helps the radicals nearly topple Egypt via the Arab Spring.
Now we have Trump actually bringing all these nations together against Iran, and there's an actual possibility of peace in the M/E in our lifetime.
I'm just an armchair observer, but from where I sit, things are looking pretty damn rosy.
They're mostly people just trying to get by. Most of those anti American rallies are government staged.
Indeed they don't, just as plain people everywhere don't.

Another reflection.
Repeating, the Great War was the greatest calamity ever inflicted on Mankind,
yet despite this cold reality, several Middle East leaders emerged that brought
their people slowly out of the darkness; among them:
* Mustapha Kemal, Turkish victor at Gallipoli and their First President in 1920
who secularized his nation.
* Abbdulaziz Bin Saud, who drove the Ottomans from Saudi Arabia in 1917,
aided by Lawrence of Arabia, and later created the Arabian Oil Industry which
eliminated their economic dependence on Britain. His great-grandson is the
present Crown Prince.
* Rheza Khan Phalevi, Iranian Military Commander in WW1, who was crowned
in 1921 and then proceeded to separate Mosque and State. He and his family
were stalwart allies/friends of the USA till Jimmy, the Asshole, Carter forced his
grandson out.
