[Khamenei] has spent his life defending the revolution. He considers it a sacred responsibility to protect the revolution. So, he will do whatever it takes. The question is, will the different groups that he orders to shoot at protesters, will they follow those orders now? In the past, they’ve always done so, but it’s usually been against particular groups. Either students or only people in the capital, or only people in certain provinces, or only women.
Now it seems to be almost everybody. And that makes it more difficult for the Basij and even the Revolutionary Guards to fire on the protesters because they increasingly feel that the protesters represent everyone, not just one particular [segment of society].
