"Historical cases suggest that regimes tend to fall not when they are merely weakened, but when ruling elites split."
Exactly. That's what sanctions are for. Not the sanctions itself but the potential 'lifting of sanctions' Some factions wish to accept terms for the lifting of sanctions and others don't, it causes division and fractures unity. Negotiations. That was the dumbest thing you said in this article. America doesn't do diplomacy. Once America decides regime change is their aim and all the machinery is put in motion to achieve that aim, then there's nothing to negotiate, and for the targeted nation, it's time for war. Iran will not kneel before the pedophile Epstein regime. Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 6 March 2026 10:38:28 AM

The foreign manufactured Iranian opposition is fracturing anyway.
And the 'rally around the flag' effect is in progress too. http://x.com/AryJeay/status/2029636794728280225 Reza Pahlavi’s circle is falling apart One of Reza Pahlavi’s close advisor/aide tore apart his photo together with Reza Pahlavi live on @Jedaal. He said “dear Iranian compatriots, I’m tearing this disgraceful photo [with Pahlavi]. I made a mistake, please forgive me.” (- Earlier he renounced him as a traitor to the homeland.) http://x.com/MintPressNews/status/2029454444430016732 "The Western Media Refuses To Cover Iran’s Widespread Pro-Government Rallies Every night, across the country, Iranian protesters are packing the streets and calling for revenge, while affirming their commitment to the nation. This trend of protests is not just limited to the major cities." - At this point, anyone that blindly believes anything from western corporate media is a fool. Told you all years ago, it's 90% propaganda. Look at these idiots clutching at straws. http://x.com/Partisangirl/status/2029733189766574327 “It’s time for Australians to die for Israel” - Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel says. 'We picked a fight and now we need everyone to save us' You made your bed, you lay innit. You spent decades planning this, and I'm enjoying watching the missiles rain down on your heads. No Australian should have to die for your deranged religious genocidal land-thieving rape-supporting Epstein-pedophile nation. How about you send me restitution for the increase in fuel and other goods from this war you started instead. Their should be a global class action against this rogue state. They should be paying reparations to the entire planet for the next century. I don't support the killing of innocents, but I truly believe Israel needs to suffer the same treatment it's inflicted upon others. Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 6 March 2026 12:22:26 PM

Manufacturing Your Consent
WE STAND with the United States and Israel In this "MORAL" war To "RID" the region of this "TERRORIST" menace Called the "IRANIAN REGIME" It's a sales pitch, which no "NORMAL" person would ever object to. Like saying: "We need to censor the internet, because we have to protect the children" - No "NORMAL" person can object to it. Censor Isreal's atrocities more likely One hand washes the other. The West claims its all about a rule based order, That we are morally and ethically superior. But the rules go right out the window when it suits them. Australia just pledged it's support to the U.S, when they assassinated the Iranian Supreme leader. Where's these rules? America and Israel threw the first punch, and we cheered. America and Israel are bombing a city that had 10 million people targeting police stations, hospitals, schools, TV stations, universities and other government buildings. What if Russia or China did this? I'll tell you all an ugly potential scenario that will really show how full of crap the West is.. What happens if Iran starts significantly diminishing U.S. capabilities and they run out of air defense before Iran runs out of hypersonic missiles? All of this talk about Iran using a nuclear bomb will mean nothing... - If NETANYAHU is the one who ends up dropping a nuke on a populated city.

Professor David Flint has taken a swipe at the ‘galahs’ who think that they know about international “law”, particularly those squawking about how “illegal” the US action against the Islamic Republic of Iran is.
Professor Flint studied international law in Sydney, Paris and London. He taught it . Having done all that, plus attending seminars on the subject all over the world, he feels able to say that he knows something about the subject, and is “well aware of the weakness of international law and the charge that it is not law or that it is a primitive form of law”. Briefly: . There is no international legislature . Despite the name, there is no real international court . There are no sanctions for breaches, except by victims So, those suffering from anti-Trump syndrome and/or sympathising with the Iran regime are expressing "nothing but an opinion". In this obvious expert’s view, there is “absolutely no breach of international law” in the actions of America and Israel. Nor is President Trump in breach of the U.S Constitution, as some of his domestic enemies claim. The action might come before the Supreme Court, according to Flint, but ironically, the Court acts contrarily to the Constitution by “seizing” the power to declare acts of government invalid. “.... the imminence of a threat to the Republic (in a nuclear weapons age) justifies unilateral executive action. The squawking of the galahs about the Iranian ship being sunk in ‘international waters’ is also nonsense. Posted by ttbn, Friday, 6 March 2026 6:25:18 PM

As far as Australia is concerned, the show will probably mean more “refugees” to continue changing the country beyond recognition.
Iranians, rather than working on regime change, are streaming into Syria. Next stop Europe or, gullible Australia. We cop hordes of people we don't need, and don't want, every time there is conflict in the worst parts of the world.
America under President Carter was largely responsible in the first place for the mad mullahs taking over from the Shah. (Read ‘King of Kings’, Scott Anderson).
The possibility of a regime change and the welfare of Iranians is a side-issue: an opportunity given Iranians by Trump as a by-product - if they want to take it.
But, as Alon Ben-Meir says, Iran has nothing in the way of an alternative government to take over anyway. Iranians are a bit like Australians: apathetic and disorganised, in a bigger way of course.
Decisive Iranians have left: an estimated 4-5 million spread worldwide, with about 85 thousand in Australia.
Jumping for joy in their adopted countries over the deaths of tyrants will do nothing for Iran.
As for American “boots on the ground”, it's doubtful that Americans of any political persuasion would allow even Donald Trump to do that. Like Australians and most Westerners, they have had enough of their people dying in foreign countries, for no good reason, followed by waves of “refugees”.
Unfortunately, Ben-Meir seems, as usual, to be more critical of the US and Israel than he is of what is probably the most evil regime on Earth. Nevertheless, his pot-stirring opens the way for various to be expressed.
The only ‘good’ Islamic countries are those with a Monarch.
