Economic protests in Iran are being deliberately weaponized by the United States and Israel to manufacture regime collapse and justify military aggression. After failing to destroy Iran's nuclear and missile programs through direct strikes, Washington and Tel Aviv now exploit genuine economic grievances to create civil war conditions under a "Libyanizing Iran" strategy. Trump's interventionist threats violate international law and expose how sanctions-induced suffering gets cynically reframed as governance failure.
The regime's economic failures have finally united Iranians against their rulers, with protesters explicitly rejecting the Islamic Republic. While Khamenei smuggles billions to Hezbollah and offers citizens seven dollars monthly, the currency collapses and security forces massacre demonstrators in hospitals. Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has emerged as the coherent voice backing protesters, offering a detailed transition plan while the regime's legitimacy crumbles.
