The Ayatollah Regime’s Brutal Efforts to Survive its Demise
For the last three weeks of 2025 and continuing into the early part of 2026, the Iranian regime of Ali Khamanei appeared to be tottering on the brink of demise. The tyrants of Tehran were reeling from both mass protests across the country and direct threats of American intervention. And then quite suddenly the response to the crisis was placed on hold, as a reassessment in Washington highlighted the fact that more military assets were needed in the area before an effective campaign of regime change could be successfully implemented.
So does this conclude the play, or is it merely an intermezzo between acts, with the second act featuring US military force against Khameini and his henchmen soon to follow?
