It remains to be seen if the protestors will give up because of the killings, if the police/army will switch sides as happened during the protests that led to the overthrow of the Shah, if the US and/or Israel will do anything as many of the protestors are begging them to.

I'm not sure what either the US or Israel can do. Dropping bombs won't overthrow the theocracy.
