Bombing Can Weaken Iranian Regime, but Only Popular Uprising Can Overthrow It, Dissidents Say

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
A senior official from the Paris-based Iranian opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) stated that the ongoing US-Israeli bombing campaign, which has killed around 2,000 people including Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, cannot overthrow the clerical regime. The official, Mohammad Mohaddesin, emphasized that only a popular uprising supported by internal resistance could achieve the regime's downfall. Despite significant damage to Iran’s military and security forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has strengthened its control and suppressed unrest. Mohaddesin also dismissed the likelihood of US ground troop deployment and predicted that mass protests could resume after the bombings cease, potentially shifting the balance against the regime.

Scripture: Psalm 33:16-18 (NASB 1977)
"The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,"
Commentary:
Psalm 33 cuts through the claim that bombs alone can topple a regime. Airstrikes can shatter sites, but they rarely change hearts or break an entrenched apparatus; people still line up for bread and wonder what comes next. Power can also tighten its grip in the chaos. The back-and-forth around Israel in this conflict sits in Scripture’s familiar pattern of shaking nations, shifting alliances, and hardening rulers. Stay clear-eyed, and pray for righteous openings without trusting force as savior.
Prophetic Trend:
Military pressure is colliding with internal resistance and hardening control, reflecting a wider end-time pattern of unstable alliances and intensified repression around Israel.

Photo: REUTERS/Alaa Al-Marjani A senior official from a Paris-based Iranian opposition group said on Thursday that the US-Israeli war on Iran would not topple the clerical leadership, arguing that only a popular uprising backed by internal resistance could do so. Almost two weeks of bombing have killed around 2,000 people in Iran including supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and damaged much of its military and security apparatus. Iran has responded in kind, throwing global energy markets and transport into chaos and spreading the conflict across the Middle East, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has tightened its grip on power and threatened to crush any unrest. “The 12-day war in June, and the current war, now in its 12th day, proved that bombings cannot overthrow the regime,” Mohammad Mohaddesin, head of foreign policy at the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told a news conference. “Even if you have 50,000 armed soldiers on the ground...
