The Kurds no doubt see this situation as an opportunity to establish defacto political and military control over an area of Iran that they consider part of “Kurdistan”. Since this action will weaken the Iranian regime, both the Americans and Israelis will offer logistical and air support.
However Kurdish action will not be enough to overthrow the regime. There is a web of thousands with its nexus in Tehran that still controls the Iranian economy, food supplies, the military and the goons. They are very defiant because they know what will happen to them if the regime is destroyed. Also they are benefiting from some degree of patriotism within the Iranian population even amomg people who hate the regime. At their core Iranians must resent and even hate that their fate is being dictated by foreigners. Israelis, Americans. Kurds and Arabs). The bottom line is that if this regime is to be destroyed and the enriched uranium secured, it will take American boots on the ground and hard bloody fighting.
You've got it backwards. Estimates have it that 95% of the Iranian populace are anti-theocracy, anti-government. They are patriots of Iran, and most would welcome "regime change"
There were reports, beginning yesterday, that the U.S. had begun efforts to arm the organized resistance groups within Iran.
