The Iranians Cannot Overthrow the Regime Without Weapons

I agree with the article’s central argument that the Iranian people are unlikely to overthrow the regime without access to weapons or meaningful external support, given the state’s monopoly on force and willingness to use it. History shows that unarmed protest movements struggle to defeat entrenched authoritarian systems backed by loyal security apparatuses. While the desire for freedom inside Iran is real and admirable, any serious discussion of regime change has to grapple with the hard reality of power, force, and the regime’s capacity for violent suppression.
