from what I've seen, Iran shows no sign of stepping down. In fact, they're getting even angrier! After the death of numerous protesters on the 14th of February, the Iranian people got annoyed, to put it in polite terms. A new, even stronger protest has been called to happen on the 20th, which is all well, but how many people have to die before they get what they want? How many more civilians will have to be tear-gassed or brutally beaten before the government reforms?
After the events that happened in Cairo, people have seen what can be done by the power and will of the people. It's the revolution all over again! Remember the first revolutions, when America wanted to gain independence from the British? And when it worked, France decided to follow the example. But then when Ireland tried to revolt against British rule, they lost miserably. It was more than a hundred years later before they did. I am a firm believer that history repeats itself, as can know be seen, but what Middle-Eastern country will become the Ireland of this scenario? Only time will tell, but lets hope the massacres wont be as large.
Screw the system, we need to watch our own backs.
