Johns Hopkins Professor: Iran Regime Change Is a ‘Fantasy,’ People Don’t Rebel When There’s Bombs over Their Heads

NASR: “I think it was. It was a fantasy and a hope that it actually was never tested with evidence of history everywhere else. People don‘t usually rebel in the middle of a war when bombs are falling on their head. There was no love lost for the Islamic republic when the when the war started, given the massacres that happened in Iran in January and the unhappiness of the people. But first of all, Iranians are not organized around a political movement that can keep their rage going, can channel it into politics. Secondly, the war basically created a crisis for Iranians on a daily basis. And then as the war went on, it became very clear to the majority of Iranians that what is not liberating, it‘s not the Islamic republic is not going to go anytime soon.“
