It’s true the Lord works in mysterious ways... but we’ve heard predictions of Iranian populists overthrowing the mullahcracy for SO long, and it just never seems to jell...

“Unemployment last month reached 15%.”

Sounds a lot better than California, Nevada and Michigan. I like Michael Leden but he has been saying this since we invaded Iraq. THe Iran leadership has the country totally controlled in the same way the TV networks in America control the drooling masses for liberals and Islam.

A few weeks ago, according to official and private reports, the Iranian air force shot down three drones near the southwestern city of Bushehr, where a Russian-supplied nuclear reactor has just started up. When the Revolutionary Guards inspected the debris, they expected to find proof of high-altitude spying. Instead, the Guards had to report to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that the air force had blasted Iran's own unmanned aircraft out of the sky.

Kudos to the Iranian Air Force... and a big HaHa! to the Iranian Air Force.

This is “wishful thinking”. Trying to take the heat off of the headmuzzi in WH.

Has Barry pledged unlimited military support to the mullahs yet?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Once Iran gets the bomb, there will be little to no hope for anyone wishing to overthrow the mullahs and their crazy president.

Is this a reprint from 5 years ago or 15 years ago?

>>>>”one wonders to what extent Western governments understand what’s going on.”

I’d say Western govts understand far more than less.

However, the foundation has to be set in Iran. And, the Will for change has to be initiated from within Iran & by Iranians abroad alike, and then supported by W. govts, imo.

It seems there is not a firm consensus among (esp. politically active) Iranian population as yet, whether the Islamic govt should reform itself or be replaced in its entirety, along with its largely Islamic constitution & mandate.

It also seems that Western govts simply accept/accepted that an Islamic govt in Iran is what many Iranians want. So, at best, W. govts support “reform” of Islamic govt, as a viable alternative. Imo, it is a false alternative. Iran needs a “Regime Change”.

The other crippling issue is lack of strong & secular *leadership*.

Apart from airy fairy jibes & speeches of a few prominent Iranian (leaders) about a need for a secular govt in Iran, most of these people are either unwilling and/or unable to put the proverbial money where their mouth is.

So, the remaining so-called *leaders* continue to be drawn from different factions of the same Islamic Regime/govt in Iran. Hence, business as usual will continue..

The Green Movement begged for just a nod from Obama, this was before Iran had a nuke, which is a game changer. The Green Movement correctly sees their future as living in squalor behind the outward threat of their own glorious nuke for the next generation or two. I’d imagine that thought is emboldening -for them.
