Popcorn. The people will rise whenever they rise, but right now the leadership is self destructing, as was intended.

No sane person in the world hates the Iranian people. Our foe is not them but the regime they hate and want to be free of. This, I am quite sure, the overwhelming majority of the Iranian people know this.

What a terrible position those poor people are in!

Will hope, but Tousi TV has been excessively optimistic about how fragile the IRGC grip on power has been.

Mossad needs to smuggle in as many weapons as they can into Iran. Let the people there settle this once and for all. They simply need arms.

Also training, command chain, logistical support.

So the more the IRGC thugs kill each other off, the better for the people.

I’d like to agree with you, but I’m not sure. There were an awful lot of Iranians who supported the Ayatollahs in 1979. I’ve read that 85% of Iranians want the Ayatollahs to be thrown out, but I don’t know if we can trust the source.

I’m reminded of when Trump won in 2016 and liberals said, “How could he win? I don’t know a single person who voted for him.”
