Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

it is normal for people to rally behind their country when they come under attack, if they have any sense of patriotism and are not mentally deranged like some monarchist zionists in the diaspora.

nobody sensible thinks Netanyahu wants the best for Iranians.
Agreed. However it is not rational to want to overthrow the Islamic Republic without first identifying who will take its place. One can talk about wanting a "Nationalist dictator" but without identifying who that is, and whether or not the population is willing to get behind them? It is idiotic to overthrow the system with the hopes that the right person will magically appear out of nowhere and assume the roll. The risk of Israel rolling out a soothsayer agent to take the leadership and turn around and kill/imprison/exile anyone who opposes him is very real. Ayatollah Khamenei managed to save Iran from chaos at the most sensitive time when Iran was in great parrel, because he gave Iranians someone to rally around. Some here now want to depose him at a time when the threat of Israeli attack still looms over Iran's head and replace him with God knows who? I don't want to see a Zelensky or Jewlani type "Strong Nationalist leader" put power in Iran!

well I would rather have a strong nationalist leader but I also agree that revolutions rarely go as intended and often lead to worse outcomes (as we saw in 1979) so if IRI is bad post-IRI is going to be much worse, meaning internal reforms is still the least bad path

I held the same view as you, but I am starting to realize that if IRI stays, there might not be much of an Iran left to reform.
 
Iran does not have the energy production capacity to survive climate change. There are already energy cuts during the summer now. The energy demand is only going to get worse from here out.
How did Iran spend billions on nuclear infrastructure, to have just 1 nuclear power plant, sell electricity to Iraq, all while having shortages still.

You would think the investment in nuclear energy would solve Iran's needs.

Now they are going to go back to oil power plants because it's cheap, further exacerbating environmental damage, with nothing to show for nuclear energy investment.

IRI is a series of institutions and people. It doesn't have absolute power like Kim or Bashar. There must be some in parliament, in different levels of government, who are competent enough to help reshape a new government.

I don't think we need to smash it all and start from scratch. Some officials are like tumors. You cut them out.

Not really… Russia can’t compete with NATO aircraft. Even the Rafales can bag some kills if required against the Russians..

Russia is a nuclear armed state. If the situation gets odd it can trash the whole Europe and even the USA
