Amid widespread anti-government protests, Iran is facing a slow collapse of the ruling Islamic Republic regime, according to Iranian expert Dr Roham Alvandi.
The demonstrations, triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in morality police custody, pose a significant challenge to Iran’s clerical leaders.
Unlike previous protests, the current unrest involves unarmed young people standing their ground, demonstrating remarkable bravery.
Dr Alvandi believes this signals the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic founded in 1979, emphasizing that the regime has lost all legitimacy.
While acknowledging that the regime could potentially slow down the opposition through mass oppression, Dr Alvandi argues that further violence would only deepen the regime’s problems. He suggests that the only long-term solution to the crisis is for the regime to listen to the people’s demands.
Rights groups report thousands of arrests, hundreds of injuries, and over 150 deaths in the government’s crackdown. Social media videos depict high school girls in Tehran removing their headscarves and chanting against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Despite growing frustration and opposition, analysts do not believe the clerical establishment is on the verge of being toppled.
The government has initiated an investigation into Amini’s death, but Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, a former Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force commander, accused demonstrators of creating “hideous scenes” and defended the dress code law, claiming protesters saw “freedom in the nakedness and shamelessness of women.”
