The popular uprising was largely manufactured by Mossad. The Israelis said it openly. It was supported by the propaganda machine. 30,000 dead has no primary source, it was planted in dozens of papers all at once, all referring to other papers. We fluffed up the Shah’s playboy son and had him ready to send in. The Iranians cut off their internet and cell service. Only a few people with Starlink have been getting coms and an occasional landline. So there is no communication method to get people out into the streets if they were so inclined.
Add in constant assassinations and US/Israeli bombing... things like the double tap on the girls school, and Iranian security forces in a bad mood, and there is no take over coming.
A lot of this was a “fake it till you make it” regime change on the part of Trump and NetanYAYhoo. Trump is fairly gullible and they convinced him they were a day or two from a bomb, and that this would go like Venezuela. He fell for it.
They are a bunch of radical, nut case extremists. I cannot see them negotiating ANYTHING—much less voluntarily giving up power. I hope I am wrong.
HA! HA! HA!
Like YOU know anything about what the F is going on.
You are consistently WRONG….
“Trump is fairly gullible and they convinced him they were a day or two from a bomb....”
Nope, Trump said they were close to having the material necessary to make the bomb.
You are a forked-tongued liar, or stupid, or both.
It may have that appearance, but there's more to it than that. First of all, these war plans have existed for the past 40 years, and have been constantly upgraded. Iran was always a target.
Obviously none of us are in the White House, but Trump believes he can resolve this once-and-for all.. I imagine Trump/Pentagon planners view is that iimmediate "regime change" would have been a nice bonus, but it was not expected.
The goal was to put Persian Gulf oil under US administration and control via Hormuz, and to decapitate, isolate and degrade Iran's regime to the point where it can be put in an even tighter box. That has been achieved.
The war is not over at all. It may calm down for a period, but If any new IRGC leaders come are found, they will be targeted. Iran will continue to launch missiles etc... but the vice is being slowly tightened.
