Iranian Regime Is Not about to Fall
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Barsky - There is no working assumption in Jerusalem that the Iranian regime is about to fall. The prevailing assessment is that Tehran's rulers know how to buy time, survive pressure, and maintain control. Israel's security establishment has asked ministers to curb public comments on the protests in Iran and the crackdown, out of concern that every word could support the claim that Israel is behind the protests. Israeli officials understand that the moment their government is seen as leading the Iranian street, the regime receives a gift: a clean narrative that allows it to shift from repression to "national defense."
