It's really hard to understand what the IR thinks. I mean these people seem absolutely clueless to me. They have no master plan, they just want to stay in power for one more day, it seems. How can you run an astronomically costly nuclear program for +35 years, get it bombed eventually but not build the bomb?
I was watching the interview of Ali Alizadeh with Hooshang Amir-Ahmadi. Amir-Ahmadi said that the Islamic Republic is an ideologue regime that believes they should hand over Iran to Imam Mahdi. So, their priority is to keep the political system in place only.
Even if it means that the ruins of Iran will be handed over, they're fine with it. It's hard to argue that he is wrong. We are in war and they aren't even opening public bunkers for the people.
Don't want to offend Iranian members but if the mullahs who are in charge of Iran are same as other mullahs around the world, then the problem is clear, they just use religion as a propaganda tool, to hype the people up and just because they use strong powerful slogans doesnt mean its the reality on the ground, it maybe possible Iran is not as strong as it claims.
The change Iran needs is to allow an independent nationalist army to rise, an army who believes in professionalism, realism and merit based, it can be a mixture of Iranian revolutionary ideology plus Iran Persian nationalism but they must first protect Iran and then slowly rise as a power, working along with neighbouring nations. Let the Iranians revolutionary run the government but army matters must be 100% based on merit. Iran must also change their foreign policy, they need good relations on government to government level, leave this militia agenda, it's proven that it doesn't work. Somehow Iran needs to find ways to align its policy with China Pakistan Turkey Azerbaijan and slowly build up an alliance, it shouldn't be about attacking others but purely to defend own territory from foreign invasions and attacks. Iran cannot do this alone, and i don't think anyone else can too. Iran also must stop making big threats to world powers, this all has been used against Iran, this policy is good for domestic audience, for international politics and relations it's not good.
When Iran pacifies the Arab world, and Usa then slowly Iran can build up its military on modern standards, buying from China Pakistan and Turkey, aswell as building domestic industry. In the future I can see Iran Pakistan Turkey Azerbaijan, Qatar collaborating on military weapons production, will save billions for everyone.
