Khaberni - An Israeli analyst believes that the Iranian protests are a "historic step" that has not happened since the 1979 revolution, pointing out that the Khamenei regime is closer to collapse than ever, but its fall depends on a coup.
In an interview with the Hebrew channel "i24" today, Sunday, the analyst Tzvi Yehezkeli explained that "Iran is on the brink of a coup that would shake the Khamenei regime, and without the coup, the Ayatollah's regime will remain firm," according to his statement.
He added, "For the first time, the regime is facing a real challenge, and a coup might indeed occur, as the intensity of the protests has escalated, and they already control checkpoints of the Revolutionary Guard and security forces," he said.
He noted that Iran is a vast country, about 60 times the size of Israel, with a population of 100 million people, who from the beginning showed gradual weakness against the regime."
Yehezkeli attributed to the 12-day war a significant role in weakening Khamenei's regime, confirming the "inevitability of the protesters seizing the opportunity of his weakness to rid of him forever," according to his expression.
He explained that the demonstrators face severe challenges from the government, which spares no effort in suppressing the protests, and reports of mass massacres against civilians have started to emerge, according to his description.
He stated, "It is entirely logical that this would happen, as these youth are determinedly focused on toppling the government."
Regarding his prediction for after the fall of the Iranian regime and its relation to Israel, Yehezkeli sees "it's not unlikely to sign a peace agreement with the new Iran."
However, he called for the necessity of destroying Tehran's nuclear program before any rapprochement with the Iranians; explaining that this step would consolidate the foundations of democracy in relations between the two sides, especially after its publication inside Iran.
