The final form of Iran’s future system whether a parliamentary constitutional monarchy or a republic should be determined through a free and fair referendum, without coercion or external imposition. Only the Iranian people have the sovereign right to shape their destiny through democratic processes.
However, the international community has a moral and strategic obligation to listen to the voices from Iran’s streets and respond appropriately…
Decisive policy is essential: combining “maximum pressure” on the regime through targeted sanctions, isolation, and accountability for human rights violations, with “maximum support” for the people. This includes moral encouragement through public channels, political backing for opposition leader Prince Reza Pahlavi, and practical assistance for the free flow of information. Expanding access to independent media, satellite internet, and uncensored internet can help Iranians organise and share their narrative without fear.
Such two-way engagement has historical precedent in successful democratic transitions. In Iran’s case, it could accelerate peaceful change, minimise chaos, and maximise prospects for stability. Slogans like “JAVID SHAH” and similar calls for Pahlavi’s return are not mere nostalgia; they reflect the people’s desire for leadership that is patriotic, secular, and free from the ideologies of the 1979 revolution, such as Palestinian cause, Islamic-Marxists, and fundamentalism.

You start with the word, “Hello”.
It seems that the people are rebelling. Can they stand up to tanks? If it plays out that way, I have no objection to a drone/missile strike on tanks.
Absolutely, they and the people of Venezuela deserve that.
Ripping apart the country by bombing it, however, would make it far more likely anti-American, Islamic fundamentalists of some kind remain in power.
Has the military surrendered? I heard they did, because if they didnt tanks would have been on the streets to begin with.Current orders to the IRGC is : shoot to kill - go for the head.
Death count at this point to the best I know is 500? Hospitals are overwhelmed.
The worse thing that will happenis Reza Pahlavi to return.
Iran must self determine as opposed to quickly ushering in a son of a brutal dictator. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. The Pahlavi mindset is still alive even as it appears now in this & that doesnt change and wont until free & fair electionswith the candidate of their choice.
Even during the time of the Shah so many people more than you would ever know yearned for democracy
