You know very little about Iran if you think they are 90% Shia. You know very little about Iran if you don't think they are longing for the USA to either arm them or march in and kill the Shia leaders. Yeah the Shia leaders that convinced YOU that Iran is 90% Shia.

Your statement really points to the failure of the Trump administration to either understand this or act on this.

There is no possibility of regime change in Iran. As long as the regime is willing to kill to stay in power, there is no chance the people can rise up to overthrow it. It can only change from within the regime. If the army or some other group decides to change it, it could happen. Until then, it’s only a fantasy.

I doubt it would be anywhere close to that, if they actually had choice.

True. There is a reason why dictators don't hold free elections. Do you think Fat Boy would win if North Korea had elections? The people in NK know what freedom is like. They get internet illegally from SK.

Agree. Early on there seemed to be some hope that the regular army would rise up against the IRGC, but I haven't heard much about that lately.
