We have some people who claim that to err is human and to forgive is divine. Guess where that sort of thing falls in the muslim pantheon? I believe that the regime in Iran is bolstered by its true believers, all of whom have all the guns and ammo and who all believe that to raise a hand against the regime is akin to apostasy and they will happily treat it as such until they are killed. The question is, does the hatred of the one side outweigh the heavily armed religious zealotry fueled hatred on the other side?
Once again, the people there are nothing like you or me despite some appearances. The regime will go on killing until they are stopped dead, literally. This isn't like the overthrows of the east in Europe or the silliness of the Arab Spring and North Africa, this is their version of angels fighting demons.
I've been waiting for this since 1980. It has been a long time coming. Now we see how much the Taliban snip off and how much the Pakistanis try to snip off and how tame the Iraqis are after all those years of bleeding to death at the hands of the fundamentalists fueled and armed by Iran.
I'll be curious to see how far each side goes to exterminate and stamp out the other. If you thought the Church had a hasty way with Heresy, you ain't seen nothing yet.

speaking of circumcision (snipping off), you didn't mention anything about Turkey's eastern border
Time will tell. In but my meager 2 decades serving our country and a bit more since I've noticed our regime changes and such have gone poorly.
Seems American Oil Companies are less than thrilled to get into Venezuela's oil. Any sort of insurgency is exciting to oil operations and after Afghanistan I suspect we'll do poorly here also.
Meanwhile while we are watching tick tocks via starlink of "Iranian women" lighting cigarettes off of burning Ayatollah posters.
WHO was the tick tock propaganda AIMED AT? Did somehow the cigarette lighters boost Iranian morale? With what media distribution?
I suggest AIMED at Americans. Maybe to force American's into supporting this "revolution". Again Cui Bono?
The smoke of propaganda is pretty heavy. If you ask how impoverished Iranians can even afford to buy a forbidden starlink to post Tick Tocks you are wearing a tight tinfoil hat. I did the google math and an Iranian Doctors annual wages in US Dollars is about 1300.00 No I didn't miss a digit.
Mentioning that the COSCO price of 299.00 for a Starlink mini WITHOUT ANY Smuggler MARKUP for danger. profit and so on is a huge chunk for a Doctor whose income vs cost of living for YEARS has been BAD,
Suggesting that Cui Bono might make Mossad the "smuggler" of choice given Iran's recent missile poundings and a regime change or like Syria a FAILED Nation would benefit Israel was an assault on that blogger's feelings.
A Nation backed up against the wall is dangerous.
The Iranian propaganda is aimed at US consumers and hopefully the US will not get involved in this new tar baby. Let them fight it out because to do otherwise would cause even more trouble. However, I suspect we will drop a few bombs or send in a few missiles on strategic targets to push the mullahs out. As Defiant pointed out, they don't think anything like we do.
Concerning Venezuelan oil, it is a heavy, sour oil. In today's mixed up diplomatic and economic world, for years some of that oil is refined in US refineries designed to crack that oil. Strange, but that's how it is.
American oil companies lost big in Venezuela and Iran which is why they may seem reluctant to invest more bucks in that which could be blown up or nationalized again.
