Well it won't be the mullahs and the IRGC now will it.
The rest, that's up to the Iranians. |

The rest, that's up to the Iranians. It would likely be a better outcome if their parliamentary faction were to get control, but that is unlikely without the IRGC’s annihilation. |

A lot of optimism right here considering our very recent history of meddling with middle eastern governments has universally failed to produce the desired result. 🤷♂️
GCC has cleaned their own house and have relations with IL. Qaddafi swung from a light pole, Assad barely made it to Moscow with his skin intact, the new guy in Syria is objectively better despite his previous CV. |
Putin's former #2 had this to say, and he's absolutely right:
"It’s not clear how the truce between Washington and Tehran will play out. But one thing is certain — Iran has tested its nuclear weapons. It’s called the Strait of Hormuz. Its potential is inexhaustible,” said Dmitri Medvedev, a former president of Russia and deputy chairman of the country’s security council, last week. Before this, it had been 40 years since Iran tried to close the Strait (during the war with Iraq). They (rightly) feared that closing the Strait would generate a coordinated response from Western powers. But now they've realized they only need a few drones and boats to paralyze tanker traffic. As Medvedev says above, that power may well be more of a deterrent than nuclear weapons ever could be. |

Do we just dissolve the federal government now or only vote for people you like? We know it will get worse if he takes a retreat to Camp David. |
