It will probably be crushed like all the other protests, unfortunately. But iran is in a worse state then it's ever been. The catalyst for this round is a currency collapse and a looming water crisis. Sadly, the Revolutionary corps seem well funded from oil money.
At the moment Iran is rebuilding it's rocket stockpile with help from china (something which Israel and the US should be much more proactive about IMO) in preparation for the next round of hostilities in which they will no doubt be humiliated again. They are probably hoping to hit more then 1 hospital and 3 residential blocks next time and retain what's left of their shattered ambitions and ego.
Still we can always hope for a regime collapse. From a foreign policy point of view they are weaker then ever. Security wise i don't know how they are doing.
- keeganpoppen 9mo agoi hope only the best for the people of iran because they seem to be completely fantastic people and iran is an absolutely majestically beautiful place. and, selfishly, i would love to be able to visit one day. ugh, the whole situation is just so sad.
- yupyupyups 9mo ago>They are probably hoping to hit more then 1 hospital and 3 residential blocks next time Are they planning to bomb more buildings in Gaza?

- FridayoLeary 9mo agoI don't know. It's possible that one of their hundreds of indiscriminately fired missiles might land there. Iirc the sole casualty of one of their major attacks was a gazan in the West Bank.
- therobots927 9mo agoHow many hospitals has Israel blown up? Last I checked, it was every single one in Gaza.
- abacadaba 9mo agonone, but there may have been one or two military bases disguised as hospitals that sustained some damage

Security wise i don't know how they are doing Iran's borders encompass a bit of a shitshow. Its dominant ethnicity is less than three fifths the population [1]. Its next three-largest ethnicities, Azeris (14%), Kurds (9%) and Gilaki (5%) meanwhile, have bordering extant or aspiring nation-states. (To the extent there is a hilarious if bastardly alliance in the region, it would be between Israel and Azerbaijan. Israel provides firepower. Azerbaijan gains the Azeri (and maybe Gilaki) majority north of Iran, cutting off Armenia's southern border and giving it a land border with Turkey for more pipelines.)

- mamonster 9mo ago>helping the latter seize Iran's northern and Azeri/Gilaki-majority territories Wont't ever happen because Aliev is the OG of multipolarity/mnogovektornost and this would prevent him from scamming all of his neighbors at the same time.

- Incipient 9mo ago>Its dominant ethnicity is less than three fifths the population Is that being framed as a problem? The US is the same, and I expect a few others too?
- JumpCrisscross 9mo ago> The US is the same, and I expect a few others too? It makes ethnic revanchism a challenge. Not an issue if you embrace being a melting plot. Existential if national identity is grounded in ethnicity.

- FridayoLeary 9mo agoYes. Iran inflicted hezbolla on Lebanon, Assad on syria, persecutes their own ethnic minorities and has attacked saudi arabia, qatar and Israel. If they haven't outright stolen land that's only because they are 70 times the size of Israel. All that off the top of my head.

- belviewreview 9mo agoIs it your position that, since the Islamist government of Iran is the enemy of Israel, we can be certain it is good in both its foreign and domestic policies?
- therobots927 9mo agoMy position is that the US shouldn’t be involved in the region in any capacity.
- Incipient 9mo agoThey're all the "security threat" in the area. If you can call it that. There is no security, the entire area is one giant mess of insecurity!
- indubioprorubik 9mo agoNormally, yes - but now, after a humilating defeat - the regime is revealed to have squandered the riches. If you dont even have imperial glory to show for the billions spend- you are bankrupt, even in the eyes of fanatics.
