Its crystal clear that now the consequences of the preceding nationwide protests in Iran are in the full view. Gradually the mullah’s regime revealed its true colors. The resilient Iranians did not give an inch. Before long, thanks to social media, the young generation did not keep the world in the darkness about the realities in Iran.
Even though, the regime of God on the earth suffers the consequences of the nationwide protests. Insanely and savagely, the regime had suppressed all the demonstrations for the interim or put off regime change to a later date.
The mullah’s law enforcement poured on troubled waters, but crushing opponents enraged Iranians. It’s late in the day and there can be no turning back for the theocratic regime in Tehran. Now, there’s been an uneasy truce between Iranians and the corrupted regime in Iran. probably it is an amalgam of the lull before the storm. It is always calm before a storm.
There is no getting away from this fact that the mullah’s regime is not admired. For the pro-regime in EU and the USA, regime change in Iran is a pipe dream, but for Iranians are on a war footing, the truth will out. Nobody knows what the future holds but as the anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s killing approaches, the young generation is struggling on. The illegitimate and stubborn supreme leader of mullahs does not have two pennies to rub together.
Simply put, Khamenei is a misery, he is an accurate mirror of savage Shia theocracy. Though his number is up but since 1989 when Khamenei started running, he feels disgust to the peace, humanity, and life. Similar to Fath-Ali Shah Qajar who ruled Iran for 37 years (1797-1834), Khamenei has ruled the country with an iron fist for 34 years.
In one respect, it is not clear how the Iranians strip mullahs of power. The main obstacle in front of the long road to democracy in Iran is the dishonorable institutions of mullahs which must be eradicated root and branch.
Undeniably, this regime is not reformable in more ways than one. No one can ameliorate the figure of a terrorist outlaw regime. Probably the believers saw the disaster of 1979 as a judgment from on high, but no one cries for collapsing the most corrupted aggressive actor in the international stage.
In some respects, Saudi Arabia and some politicians in the USA have no desire to back the regime change in Iran, because they need an incapable and weak state in Iran. If truth be told, the reformists have the support of some Arab states. Henceforth, the mullahs cannot slip from the wrath’s grasp if Iranians in the new wave of protests show perseverance.
Since 2022, hundreds of innocents were put to the sord by the savage mullahs. The world was watching from the sidelines. After a feasible collapse of the mullah’s regime, there will be a long period of instability, chaos, and civil war in Iran.
It is a turn-up for the books that only one figure can play a major role in transitional period who is the crown prince Reza Pahlavi. Alas, this golden opportunity is not carved on tablets of stone. For all intents and purposes, the Crown Prince is the only genuine eminent figure among Iranians.
No ifs and buts, other figures of the so-called opposition in diaspora are birds of a feather. Worst of all that their alliance fell to pieces. All their ideas and comments have gone awry since 1979. It is no exaggeration to say that they have no intention of doing regime change in Iran.
There is not a grain of truth in rumors that these vocal opposition have no followers or effective connections inside Iran. It is to be regretted that they are only the figures of the media who spark a free-for-all in any controversial matter. For example, there is no question of the MEK have a chance for success in future of Iran. However, some of the aged communist political figure hope against hope that China and Russia assist them to build the republic in Iran. a leopard cannot change its spots.
Let’s resign to the fact that people of Iran tend to regard these terrorist groups and followers of Khomeini in 1979 as the dregs of society. By the looks of it, all these opposition groups are of little consequence. These old rebels have always looked askance at the democracy and constitution.
