Iran is experiencing significant unrest, with protests fueled by widespread anger over economic hardships and government crackdowns. Despite the regime’s military and security forces, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), maintaining loyalty and suppressing dissent, the pressure from sanctions and public discontent persists. The Iranian leadership is caught between the need to quell protests and the potential for negotiations with the US amid ongoing economic challenges. The lack of unified leadership among protesters presents a challenge for regime change, but further protests are likely to be met with severe repression.
