Iran on the verge of revolution

I agree. The people of Iran have been slowly fomenting change and I hope they get what they've been going for.

No idea what America's role is GOING to be. But again, the whole "we don't want an international intervetionist president" isn't really a meaningful phrase anymore so I guess anything is on the table.

I confidently expect America to do a special forces at some point if not sooner.

I would love to bike tour in Iran some day.

This is a possibility. People are talking about the future Trump Silk Road Bike Trail that is in the planing stage.

More Iran protests erupt as supreme leader accuses crowds of 'trying to please Trump'

The country is under a nationwide internet blackout after almost two weeks of widespread anti-government protests.

www.bbc.co.uk

Protests have been ongoing for days now, increasing in intensity, whilst the regime tries to isolate Iranians from the outside world with communications blackouts.

Opposition support has grown for Reza Pahlavi, who has called for the people to overwhelm the security forces.

He tweeted asking President Trump to be ready for intervention. On the one hand I think it would be empowering for the Iranian people to take matters and their future into their own hands, on the other, American intervention may help build burnt bridges.

Either way very interesting times and I will be praying for the people of Iran. A dethroned Islamic regime in Iran would be hugely positive for the region.

The brutality, incompetence and a series of big defeats for the current regime suggest its days are numbered. The protests show that people on the ground no longer want them in charge.

Free Starlink internet services would be really useful right now as this would allow transparency as to the regimes atrocities right across Iran
Taking out especially brutal secret police headquarters and personnel would discourage the government from killing protestors

But at the end of the day the change has to come from the Iranians themselves. I suspect there is a blood price for freedom and the question is whether they are willing to pay it or not.

I would love to see a free Iran with freedom of worship. The church there is growing strongly. Iran could become, as in the days before Islam, a major center of Christian civilization as well as a center of an internal revival of Islam itself as people review the failures of the current Shia regime.
