I woke up this morning pondering Netanyahu’s (unstated but obvious) goal of regime change and honestly need to read more about the internal dynamics of Iran.

I know the morality police have been having some issues forcing women back into full cover since Mahsa Amini. And there’s always been brewing underground resistance but I’ve never heard of any organized party apparatus coordinating anything.

I presume Iran faces civil war after Israel takes out the Supreme Leader. I know they’ve built up a fairly large bench of potential leadership replacements if/when he goes but I suspect the people will take this opportunity to overthrow the “Islamic Republic” structure entirely.

Iranian democracy feels like a mirage so the world needs to brace for whatever comes next, they will be speed racing to a nuclear armed Iran
