That's a pretty self defeating approach that in general is not compatible with protests of any kind (Israel included). I don't think there were any protests in the history of the world that couldn't have died using the logic of "nothing will change"

As long as Iran has multiple countries it can sell its oil, there is still pressure to apply

The real reasons there are no protests are in my opinion the same ones people generally suspect

Stopping Russian or Iranian oil shipping is pretty hard to do legally.

You are not convincing China to only source oil from western aligned nations.

We (Europe and US) can't even convince India.

Short of kinetic intervention. There isn't much to be done about Iran.

I doubt bombing Iran will make the protesters in Iran more successful or united.
