Two-minute read<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

While Iran\u2019s theocratic regime publicly boasts about being a regional power, its officials and state-run media constantly acknowledge the threat of a restive society that has increased the regime\u2019s infightings.<\/p>\n

On March 29, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei<\/a>, the regime\u2019s Judiciary chief, acknowledged the regime\u2019s increasing factional feuds and how they would affect the ruling theocracy\u2019s hold on power.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, adversaries and malevolent forces are striving to sow discord, pessimism, and despair among our people. Our goal isn’t merely to secure positions of power and undermine others,\u201d he said. \u201cInstead, we must uphold and fortify our unity, preventing any infiltration by malicious elements and spies into our ranks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran is suffering from its worst economic crunch in the last century. While some so-called experts try to shift the blame on sanctions, Iranian people have demonstrated their awareness about the regime\u2019s misuse of national wealth and squandering it on terrorism. This is evident in the ongoing protests by people from different walks of life, and their slogans such as \u201cOur enemy is here, they lie it is the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides, the regime\u2019s judiciary has increased oppression and executions in a bid to terrorize the restive society. Yet, Ejei blatantly claimed, \u201cOur mission today is to administer justice to our citizens, ensuring their dignity both in this life and the hereafter. We must ensure the well-being, peace, and security of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

He’s not the only official who acknowledges the regime\u2019s vulnerability in facing an explosive society. In an interview with the state-run Etemad<\/a> Online in March, Mansour Haqiqatpour, another official close to the ruling faction said, \u201cA true leader should humble himself before the people; this government has not earned the respect of the Iranian nation. It cannot address our nation’s challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
