We all want sovereignty, but the question is how you would ensure it in a country as diverse as Iran.
How would the Kurds feel sovereign in a country where their kids are not allowed to learn their mother's language at school? You can't just ignore decades of discrimination in the name of sovereignty. The way to ensure sovereignty is to make sure all minorities feel secure, wanted, and equal. Otherwise you have to hold the country together by force, which is effectively what the last two regimes have done. And given the historical context, a promise for better times won't suffice, we all need to work for it.
These people felt Iranian enough to take part in a demonstration about Iran, whether they brought Kurdish flags or not. That is something to build on, not to further alienate them by calling them traitors. If we truly consider them Iranian, we should care about their legitimate grievances.[/

This country as diverse as you mentioned has existed for thousands of years, its human rights charter written on stone by order kourosh the great .
We inherited this country and over centuries people sacrificed and died to protect it , won and lost many battled and wars but never beaten. Even if it too 300 years rised again .
There's absolutely no compromise on its sovereignty and no one has any right to give it away , we inherited and we will pass it on to next generation.
