Iranian Revolution in 2022/2026?

umm all they have to do is just overthrow the government and demand democratic open and free elections. they don't need to rally around a shitstain family that has already abused the fuck out of their country.

I appreciate that you don't think despots won't act like despots, but I strongly disagree with that type of naivete, you are just asking for Iran to jump out of the frying pan, but straight into the fire.

"just overthrow the government and demand democratic open and free elections"
That sounds easy to say but much harder to do when the population is almost all unarmed as well. How likely do you think an overthrow of the gov't would work in the USA when lots of people are actually armed? Highly unlikely in the US...even less so in Iran when only the gov't has the guns.

Anywhere in the world, revolutions usually work when there's a strong unifying force. In THIS case it happens to be the Shah's son (no one else has stepped forward). I fully support his involvement based on what I've seen, read, and hear from people inside and outside Iran, and hope they get the regime change and transition to a more democratic (or at least less oppressive) gov't they wish for.

how can you have free and open elections when the worlds biggest power wages economic warfare on you if you don't vote in the people/system they want in charge?

If Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons I doubt that anyone cares who runs Iran other than the Iranian people.

You must have a different understanding of geopolitics than I do.

Logical thought, reasoning? Where do you think you are?

You don't know about geopolitics... Saudi Arab would be worried of course, and they have the money

Perhaps I got my thinking on Iran wrong. But if Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons, would their economy be under sanctions? From Europe?

they would invent another boogieman like they always do, if your worried about nuclear weapons, well there is one state that hasn't signed that non proliferation treaty and has an undisclosed number nukes in that area but you don't hear a fucking peep about that or any type of sanctions on them
