These remarks underscore the regime&#8217;s concerns about its vulnerability to both domestic unrest and international pressure.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fear of Weakness and Internal Collapse<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the Friday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawzahnews.com\/news\/1234665\">prayer sermon on February 28<\/a>, Mohammad-Bagher Mohammadi Laini, Friday prayer leader of Sari, warned against the perception of weakness within the regime, stating: &#8220;We must instill fear in the enemy, not the other way around. Worse than fear itself is letting the enemy see that we are afraid\u2026 unfortunately, some people are telling foreign elements that we are empty-handed, that one missile could wipe us out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Laini also emphasized the importance of preventing opposition forces from uniting against the regime, admitting that if adversaries form a united front, the situation could become &#8220;very difficult&#8221; for the ruling establishment. His remarks highlight the leadership&#8217;s underlying fear that internal divisions and external pressure could accelerate the regime\u2019s downfall.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Surfaced footage reveals state officials\u2019 fear of public defiance during <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranRevolution2022?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranRevolution2022<\/a>.

Laini lamented the dire state of Iran\u2019s economy, particularly the devaluation of the national currency, and expressed frustration over the government\u2019s inability to curb the crisis: &#8220;The dollar keeps surging, and we can&#8217;t stop it. We can&#8217;t reduce dependency on foreign currency. We can\u2019t even agree on whether to impeach officials. So what are we supposed to do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The growing economic hardship has not only fueled public anger but also deepened the divisions among regime factions.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Security and the Fear of Revolt<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The regime\u2019s security apparatus also appears deeply concerned about the effectiveness of opposition movements and online activism. Ahmadreza Radan, commander of State Security Forces, acknowledged the threat posed by growing dissent on digital platforms. Speaking at a ceremony in Khuzestan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasnimnews.com\/fa\/news\/1403\/12\/05\/3263592\">he stated<\/a>: &#8220;In the past, the enemy attacked with tanks. Today, they are waging a cognitive war in cyberspace. Back then, we were surrounded in the trenches; today, we are surrounded in online channels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This admission reflects the regime\u2019s alarm over the influence of opposition forces in shaping public opinion and mobilizing resistance through social media.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> Officials Fear Uprising and Regime Downfall on Anniversary of 2009 and 2017 Protests<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6w44RIVFHK\">https:\/\/t.co\/6w44RIVFHK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1874022684792651887?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 31, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diplomatic Isolation and Strategic Desperation<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, the regime\u2019s former ambassador to Germany, Ali Majedi, highlighted the regime\u2019s diplomatic failures and increasing international isolation. In a recent article, <a href=\"https:\/\/fararu.com\/fa\/news\/836367\">he wrote<\/a>: &#8220;Due to missed opportunities, Iran now faces the threat of the &#8216;snapback&#8217; mechanism [restoration of UN sanctions].

Intelligence Minister Esmail <a href=\"https:\/\/borna.news\/fa\/news\/2195815\">Khatib recently warned<\/a> that foreign-backed elements fuel instability there, an assertion that echoes previous statements from other officials.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Officials\u2019 Statements in the Last 24 Hours Reflect the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> Regime\u2019s Growing Fear of An Uncertain Fate amid Regional Defeat<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jhHwaXN7IZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/jhHwaXN7IZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1871669680282140819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 24, 2024<\/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;\">Hosseinali Shahriari, a regime parliamentarian, had earlier admitted that security forces were overwhelmed in the province: &#8220;Sistan and Baluchestan has been classified as a red-zone for security.

Their statements reflect an undeniable reality: a state that once projected strength is now consumed by fear of internal collapse, public uprisings, and international isolation. The growing admission of weakness from within signals a regime struggling to maintain its grip on power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three-minute read In a stark reflection of its deepening anxiety, the Iranian regime&rsquo;s officials have, in recent days, issued conflicting and alarmist statements, revealing their fears over internal instability, economic [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":266485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[130],"class_list":{"0":"post-329097","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-protests","8":"tag-iran-protests"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
