It's already asymmetytrical. And it could last as long as the current regime is in power. When the power structure will fall money will stop flowing too.
Huthies in Yemen look undistructable because they are supported (with moneny and weapons) by Iran. Who will bank-roll IRGC fighters when the government will collapse? China in theory culd but they depend on oil so will not contriube to prologed closing of the strait.

- expedition32 7mo agoThere seems to be the idea that if you remove the regime a normal country will rise from the ashes. It is more likely that Iran will disintegrate and spiral into a civil war.
- citrin_ru 7mo agoIt's definitely a risk but a country in a civil war likely will be focused on internal problems and pose less of a threat to neighbors.
- ajewhere 7mo agoYOU are the regime. Only an american can pretend not to understand that the riots were orgsnized by US and Israel precisely to justify war on "regime killing its own people".. fighting agsinst people armed by US and Israel, but this piece is omitted in the free western media. And still, also the people pretending to not understand, do know what is going on.
- thephyber 7mo agoDo you think the riots were simply for a little more freedom? The bazaars / markets were completely closed in January because Iran’s inflation made importing goods impossibly affordable. While the riots align with US interests, they also align with the interests of lots of Iranian people.
- ajewhere 7mo agoI kmow there is a wide discontent in Iran. But I am quite sure that had the people known what this would be used as a pretext for, they would use more judgement. They just forgot for a moment that regardless of what ayatollahs tell about internal affairs, what they tell about the west is quite true.
- leaguedreams 7mo agoPutting "regime killing its own people" in quotes precludes you from any sort of moral judgement. To quote Sahar Delijani: “Imagine what a dictator must do to its own people for them to greet missiles like salvation. Imagine the wound. Imagine the fury. Imagine the streets slick with blood.”"

The US and Israel is no way forced Iran's regime to mass murder their own people. The US/Israel aren't even using the regime mass murdering their own people as the main justification for going to war either way, the nuclear program, ballistic missiles and general security issues are the main justifications they seem to be using. The protests were probably just a trigger event that opened up an opportunity to finally take action against Iran that was likely going to happen in the near future regardless. > And still, also the people pretending to not understand, do know what is going on. Most Iranians want the regime gone, not everything is a conspiracy.
