“Desperate ills need desperate remedies,” Agatha Christie once said. When it comes to the regime in Iran, its focus on desperate remedies is becoming all too obvious, especially as the already weakened establishment shudders in the face of a tsunami of protests.
Is the regime finally nearing its demise? Senior officials are crying “Mayday! Mayday!” for a reason.
For months, the Iranian people have sustained wave after wave of unprecedented anti-regime protests, with one uprising following another. The economy is on the verge of collapse, poverty and inflation are out of control, the national currency is in , and entrenched unemployment frustrates the hopes and dreams of millions of young Iranians.
What can the mullahs do? Nothing worth writing about.
