Der Iran steht am Rande einer Revolution

Research Fellow and codirector of the Iran Democracy Project at the Hoover Institution Abbas Milani argues in *The New Statesman* that “the Islamic Republic of Iran today is less a ‘revolutionary’ state than a hollow shell.” Milani says the central question today, as Iranians across the country take to the streets in huge numbers, is “whether [the regime] retains the internal coherence necessary to survive.” Milani cautions that the regime’s downfall is not assured and another possibility is at least temporary stabilization under a “harsher form of military-security rule, dominated by the Revolutionary Guards.” The Iran scholar concludes that the brutal Khamenei government is finally confronting “the truth embedded in its own revolution: in its beginning was its end.”

Good, now when is it happening? The Western World is waiting for this moment with anticipation.
