Iran leaders to go down in a blaze of 'glory'

Amil Imani:

Iranian mullahs' death wish is coming true

Ayatollah Khamenei has repeatedly stated that he will never follow the path of the late shah of Iran and leave the country peacefully. Instead, he has insinuated that he would stay and massacre the enemies of Islam: the Iranian people.

The current protests by millions throughout Iran is a clear signal that the Islamic theocracy is in irreversible decline. The overwhelming majority of the people are no longer willing to settle for a vote recount or reformists' deception and a less repressive Islamic rule. They are determined to establish a fully secular democracy with complete separation of mosque and state. They demand regime change.

Moreover, deep cracks are popping up in the system and among the contending factions. Realistically speaking, there is perhaps 10-15 percent of the population that still supports the clerical system to various degrees. Many in this group are government employees, mullahs, and hired elements such as Basiji. Also, the regime has some backers from its proxies' elements from several countries in the region such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria.

There is more.

One of the ironies of Obama's bad deal with teh mullahs is that it led to the people finally recognizing that mullahs are more interested in backing proxies in the region than in taking care of their own people.  The people also found in Trump someone who supports them rather than their oppressors.
