“A collapse appears unlikely for now.”

"The collapse of the Iranian government remains unlikely in the near term."

"Our core assumption is that the regime will survive as long as its leaders and security forces retain the ability and willingness to suppress domestic unrest."

It's "unclear if the demonstrations would unseat the leadership, pointing to the sheer depth and resilience of Iran's repressive apparatus."

"It's going to take a few different ingredients for the regime to fall," including "defections in the security services and cracks in the Islamic republic's political elite."

"What this heralds for the Islamic Republic in the near term is neither revolution nor collapse, but rather a slow-motion metastasis that is echoing across the political establishment, the economy, and society."

"Change now looks inevitable; regime collapse is possible but not guaranteed."

"If the regime does not fall this year, it may nonetheless enter a phase of irreversible weakening—one in which future shocks could prove far more difficult to absorb."

"The regime's chances of survival have reached a critical low, and its strategy of perseverance through coercion is being tested by a population that has largely lost faith in the state's ability to govern."

"The plain fact is that the Khamenei regime’s days are numbered."

Will the Current Iranian Government Collapse?

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood granted a month-long ban on the annual Al-Quds Day march organized by the Islamic Human Rights Commission, marking the first such protest restriction since 2012. Demonstrators were still permitted to hold a static rally.

More than 1,000 officers were deployed across central London for the Al-Quds Day static protest and a counter-demonstration. Scotland Yard used the River Thames as a physical barrier to keep the two groups apart, with Lambeth Bridge closed.

Twelve people were arrested at the protest and counter-protest, including for showing support for a proscribed organisation, affray and threatening or abusive behaviour, Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said.

Musician Bobby Vylan led chants of "death, death to the IDF" at the Al-Quds protest. Police opened an investigation into the chants, noting the Crown Prosecution Service had previously found insufficient evidence to bring charges over similar chants.

The al-Quds Day protest on the Albert Embankment drew hundreds of demonstrators carrying Palestinian flags and images of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A counter-protest on the north bank was co-organized by Stop The Hate and the Lion Guard of Iran.

Police had anticipated around 12,000 attendees but "significantly fewer" people showed up, with Adelekan saying both groups dispersed as planned by 3 p.m. and neither side attempted to breach conditions by marching.
