While for Israel the conflict with Iran is existential\u2014given the Iranian regime\u2019s declared intent to wipe it off the map\u2014for Tehran\u2019s theocratic regime, war is essential: a means of survival, not against external enemies, but against its own people. While Iranians live in the 21st century, the men of the clerical regime appear stuck in the darkest kind of obscurantism. After the brief honeymoon following the 1979 revolution, the majority of Iranians rejected the mullahs at the cost of blood. But the West preferred to ignore the voices of dissidents, indulging instead in the myth of a &#8220;reformable regime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This war unfolding today\u2014clear to those who refused to listen to the regime\u2019s propaganda\u2014was sadly inevitable; it was only a matter of time. There is no doubt that Israel, the United States, and any other country wage war in pursuit of their own interests. But the narrative that Iran would become another Syria or Iraq if the regime were to fall overlooks the fact that the real source of instability in the Middle East has always been\u2014and still is\u2014the mullahs\u2019 regime. The theocratic regime and its officials pursue goals that do not reflect the will of the vast majority of the population, and above all, they use war to justify and intensify domestic repression, as also occurred during the Iran-Iraq war. On one side is a people rich in culture and a deep thirst for freedom; on the other, an obscurantist regime that stands as the antithesis of Persian civilization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/opinione.it\/editoriali\/2025\/06\/24\/esmail-mohades-guerra-regime-mulla-iran-israele-usa\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-june-24-2025\/\"><strong>Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 June 24<\/strong><strong>, 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 11:00 AM CEST French President Macron: Regime Change in Iran Must Come from Its People, Not Foreign Intervention French President [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":333356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-333355","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","8":"tag-iran-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
