Iran protests spark regime survival question as exiled dissident says it feels like a ‘revolution’

Category: BEAST SYSTEM
Summary:
Protests across Iran have intensified, with thousands reportedly killed as the government uses lethal force to suppress dissent. Mehdi Ghadimi, an exiled Iranian journalist and longtime protester, describes the current unrest as a revolutionary moment marked by widespread calls for the fall of the Islamic Republic and the return of the Pahlavi dynasty. Despite growing internal and external pressures—including military setbacks, regional isolation, and economic hardship—Iran’s coercive institutions remain loyal to the regime, limiting the likelihood of its collapse. Analysts estimate the probability of a regime collapse at 25% or less, emphasizing that survival depends on the continued loyalty of security forces willing to enforce repression.

Scripture: Psalm 2:1-3
"Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed: 'Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!'"
Commentary:
Widespread crackdown in Iran shows how intensely rulers will resist losing power, even as large numbers reject government oppression. It’s a harsh reality: people risk their lives challenging unjust systems. No one in these crowds can be sure what tomorrow brings. The grip of the regime, enforced by fear and force, reveals a somber prophetic pattern—Scripture describes drivers of lawlessness, resistance, and rulers defying the ways of God as part of end-time unrest, especially outside God’s covenant land.
Prophetic Trend:
Upticks in repressive violence against dissent in Iran echo biblical patterns of rulers suppressing truth and public unrest in the nations.

As protests spread across Iran and the government responds with lethal force, amid increasing reports claiming thousands have been killed, a growing question is being debated by analysts and Iranians alike: Is the Islamic Republic facing its most serious threat since the 1979 revolution, or does it still retain enough coercive power to survive?For Mehdi Ghadimi, an Iranian journalist who spent decades protesting the regime before being forced to leave the country, this moment feels fundamentally different from anything that came before."From 1999, when I was about fifteen, until 2024, when I was forced to leave Iran, I took part in every street protest against the Islamic Republic," Ghadimi told Fox News Digital. "For roughly half of those years, I supported the reformist movement. But after 2010, we became certain that the Islamic Republic is not reformable, that changing its factions is a fiction."EXILED IRANIAN CROWN PRINCE APPEALS TO TRUMP AS IRAN PROTESTS MARK ‘DEFINING' MOMENTAccording to Ghadimi, that realization gradually spread across Iranian society, culminating in what he describes as a decisive shift in the current unrest."For the first time in the 47 years of struggle ...
