Do young Iranians support the mullahs in the Sunni-Shia divide? Or will they go against it like the Baby Boomers during the Vietnamm War?

The situation with the Boomers and Vietnam was completely different
because Boomers did not identify with either side - North or South
Vietnam - and almost all couldn't have cared less who won.

The post-war young Iranian generation does, of course, identify
very closely with the Shia side, and they would fully support
that side.
