Winston Churchill had a slip of paper that said, “Action this Day.” If the Iranian revolution is to succeed, its allies need to adopt Churchill’s sense of urgency.

Determined dictatorships almost never fall from within.
Dictatorships that have lost their morale, have an increasingly disillusioned military and/or police force, and simply run out of the confidence and determination do fall – if popular alienation is broad enough.
The Iranian dictatorship fits none of these criteria.
The Iranian people launched reform efforts against the dictatorship in 2009, 2019, and 2022. In every case the security forces and the military killed thousands and crushed the opposition. Once the popular resistance collapsed, the dictatorship methodically went after the leaders and either killed or imprisoned them.
