I want to know what's your take on this? Both Iranians and Israelis here.

I was recently reflecting on how now we know that Margaret Thatcher was privately opposed to the idea of German Re-unification...so following this train of thought what if privately Bibi is opposed to RP, despite publicly hosting him in Israel a few years back?

My understanding is that all the Israeli parties are more or less on the same page when it comes to Iran, but what are their preferred methods to handle the war?

This post isn't strictly about Pahlavi. But it is obviously directed at Pahlavi.

The dream of a quick overthrow of the Islamic Regime is clearly over. Removing the Islamist Regime from Iran is going to take more time, effort, and probably blood.

In the meantime, I believe it is necessary for Iranians to form a government in exile to further delegitimize the regime in favor of Iranians. A team and a plan is not enough.

What is a "Government in Exile"? What would it do? Good questions.

This could an organization dedicated to 3 main objectives:

1. ⚖️ Liberation of Iran

The primary objective of this government must be the removal of the Islamic Regime, triggering a referendum, and maintaining the transition of Iran into democratic, secular society. This would be done by organizing rallies, fund raising, lobbying, and a well-coordinated media campaign inside Iran to break through the Islamist propaganda.

2. 🤝 Unification of Opposition Factions

Any future democratic government of Iran should welcome any and all opposing factions, including even factions like the MEK. There is no reason why these factions can't put aside their differences and start collaborating to overthrow the regime. There should be constant dialogue between members of the different factions. Overthrow of the regime is not a partisan issue. It's an Iran issue.

3. 🌐 Global Representation for Iranians, by Iranians

There must be representation for Iranians all around the world, in exile or otherwise. There should be elected representatives in every major city, like ambassadors. Iranians should be able to talk to representatives of their future government and raise their concerns. They should be able to vote on certain matters and start cooperating on a global scale to gain recognition as the new face of Iran.

To all Pahlavi supporters, what exactly are we waiting for? Pahlavi's transition plan already aligns with the first objective. What's stopping us from getting 2 and 3?

To all Pahlavi haters, what are YOU waiting for? Where are your "grass roots" representatives?

Whose permission are we waiting for to form our own government?!

(AI was not used in making this post.)

We have youngsters whose academic dreams have been crushed by the University Entrance Exam (Konkoor).

We have men whose 2 years of lives were wasted in the military service (Sarbazi).

We have women who have been second class citizens.

We have pensioners having to drive "Uber" to afford medicine (Snapp).

We have teenagers whose friends were gunned down or committed suicide.

We have fathers who had to look for their kids' corpses in silos.

We have mothers whose kids are getting executed everyday.

We have expats who haven't seen their families in years.

We have expats who have always been humiliated at passport control.

We have dissidents whose wealth has been confiscated.

We have families who have had to fend for themselves after natural disasters.

We have families whose baskets of goods have emptied.

We have had retail investors whose savings just vanished without insurance.

We have a population +70% of which are below the poverty line.

We have entrepreneurs whose businesses failed because of the economy.

We have online stores that failed because of Internet blackout.

We have prisoners whose lives were ruined by sham trials.

We have a population whose tax money wasn't used for their welfare but for bombs, militias, and terrorism.

We have a proud nation whose civilization has been mocked, ridiculed, and insulted for 47 years.

We have a nation who have had to endure religion getting shoved down their throats.

We have non-Muslims who've been discriminated against in all areas of life.

We have people in the south and the south east who have been completely neglected.

We have knowledgeable technocrats who have had to put up with imbeciles whose jobs they have stolen.

I could go on for years. The list of crimes is endless. This is a horrific, horrific situation.

This pent up anger is so intense that when the regime falls, I'm genuinely afraid of a bloodbath if stringent measures of control and restraint isn't enforced, and fast. This is especially important because the youth make up the majority of the population.

When people talk about wanting to hang mullahs and government officials from light poles, and shove stuff in their ass, I don't think for one second they're exaggerating.

The longer this demonic regime stays, the harder national reconciliation and closure will be.

Hello to all Iranians and friends,

Due to the high volume of rapid updates and back-to-back threads, we ask that posts that do not contain a new or significant development be directed to this megathread. This includes general discussion, speculation, reactions, opinions, broader commentary, questions, jokes, memes, and general messages of support.

Standalone posts should primarily be reserved for current events and newly released information, such as breaking news, new videos or footage, official statements, confirmed updates, or other meaningful developments. Legitimate news and newly released footage are still allowed and encouraged as standalone submissions.

Minor updates, repeated information, personal commentary, or posts that do not report a new development may be redirected to the megathread or removed. Depending on activity levels, broader consolidation into the megathread may become mandatory.

This approach helps reduce clutter, limit misinformation, and keep the subreddit organized during a fast-moving situation.

Please remain civil, avoid spreading unverified claims, and continue to follow all subreddit rules.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Even doh our people were hungry, the regime gave people free food such as rice hoping the protestors went home … what did the people do? Throw away/toss the rise into the air symboling their only hungry for regime change!

First possibility is a miltary dictator like pinochet who may eventually thaw into a democracy.

Or the worse possibility you get a secular poltical dictator like Aliyev who would probably last a long time.

Remember freedom is not free democracy isn't a guarantee and many people wouldn't care as long as the economy and foreign policy is fixed.
