In fact, each uprising since 2018 has considerably weakened the ruling theocracy. However, the demonstrations that erupted following Mahsa Amini\u2019s brutal and tragic murder in September were a turning point causing the regime to lose whatever was left of its waning legitimacy outside the country. The slogans targeting the regime\u2019s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, such as \u201cDeath to Khamenei\u201d and \u201cKhamenei you murder, we will bury you,\u201d confirm this fact.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> opposition MEK Resistance Units in Kashan march and chant anti-regime slogans to mark <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IWD2023?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IWD2023<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WomenForce4Change?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WomenForce4Change<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Jq7Geq8zn9\">pic.twitter.com\/Jq7Geq8zn9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1633505355862016000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another fact is that Iran\u2019s society is the hotbed of protests. The country\u2019s financial calamity and social problems, created or exacerbated by the regime, have turned Iranian society into a powder keg. The regime\u2019s days are numbered, and regardless of its ability to quash protests and momentarily quell society, anything could spark another uprising. The fire of dissent is still alit under the ashes. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Additionally, through their operations and campaigns, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/iranian-resistance-units\/\" rel=\"noopener\">MEK\u2019s Resistance Units<\/a> network inside Iran has been keeping this fire aflame.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The aforementioned facts confirm that the ruling theocracy is indeed at a strategic impasse; the situation will never be the same, and more extensive and deep uprisings are on the horizon. Khamenei\u2019s schemes, such as tightening the mandatory veiling laws or launching chemical attacks against all-girl schools, can backfire. As Hannah Arendt said, \u201cViolence can destroy power; it is utterly incapable of creating it.\u201d Concerning Iran, it\u2019s just a matter of <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">when<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> rather than <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">if<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As the regime\u2019s highest authority, Khamenei has proven he is willing and capable of committing any crime to stay in power. The absurd notions of \u201ctransition of power,\u201d moderation, and hoping Khamenei\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/anews\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> join people\u2019s ranks will never happen. Khamenei has repeatedly said that taking a step back will result in his regime\u2019s demise. In fact, authoritarian regimes oppress until their last days.\u00a0 As Vaclav Havel said, \u201cReform and dictatorship are incompatible, for a dictator is not interested in improving the lives of his people, but in controlling them.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ongoing uprising in Iran is also distinct because the regime has exhausted all tactics to divert it from its intended course. The regime would deflect the protests in the past by blaming problems on reformists or hardliners. However, the people have seen through this ruse with the slogan, \u201cReformists, hardliners; the game is over.\u201d The regime also tried to promote support for the ousted Shah dictatorship to quell calls for democracy, but these efforts also failed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"cs\" dir=\"ltr\">March 14 &#8211; Tehran, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <br \/>MEK Resistance Units in anti-regime protests.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranRevolution?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranRevolution<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GsrdxtxsV1\">pic.twitter.com\/GsrdxtxsV1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1636663665364729856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 17, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The revolution in the making in Iran also has proved that people want to establish a pluralistic, democratic, and secular republic and slogans such as \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/v-Or6uZGC4o\" rel=\"noopener\">Down with the oppressor<\/a>, be it the Shah or mullahs,\u201d and \u201cNo monarchy, no [supreme] leader, democracy, equality,\u201d confirm this fact.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With regime change on the horizon, the international community should change its approach beyond vocal support and condemnations of the regime\u2019s crimes.
