Interesting observations. I have to think the mullahs are on their last legs. They’ve brought the country little but misery when they could be quite affluent.

It seems like people have been saying that for the last 20 years. Hopefully it will be true at some point.

The mullahs support base is outside Tehran among the rural peasantry and small towns. Those were the Iranians who supported Khomeni’s counterrevolution in 1979 and have kept the mullahs in power ever since. I really don’t see that base breaking from the theocracy anytime soon. The young Iranian intelligentsia in Tehran is in no better a position than it was twenty or more years ago when it challenged the peasant supported mullahs.

Protests abound if this is true.

If you believe what you read, Iran's government has been on the bring of being overthrown since about 1979.
Maybe it will finally be true. We can only hope.

OK, being forced to watch that might be the final straw as far regime change is concerned.

So they think Tucker broadcasts are going to calm everyone down?
Maybe it's a warning about what kind of person could visit if the regime is overthrown.

The mullahs are clearly scared. This guy was arrested 1/8 and will be hanged Wednesday.
“Even a close relative who is a lawyer tried to take on the case but was blocked and threatened by security agents,” a source close to the family told IranWire.
“They told him, ‘There is no file to review. We announced that anyone arrested in the protests would be executed,'” the source added.
Soltani’s family has also allegedly been threatened with arrests if they try to speak out publicly about the case or contact the media, according to the local outlet.
The protester is being charged with “waging war against God,” a crime punishable by death in Iran, The US Sun reported.
