Is the Iranian regime vulnerable as a result of its severe losses in its war with Israel and United States? Is a regime change feasible in Iran? What kind of security guardrails the Iranian regime has established to prevent its collapse? Will the population rise up against the regime in a similar fashion to how they rebelled against the Shah in 1979? Who are the groups, factions, ethnicities and leaders making up the opposition? Is the opposition united? Will United States and Israel pursue a policy of regime change? And if a regime change takes place in Iran, what to expect? In this special lecture, Dr. Rabil will analyze and contextualize the internal dynamics in Iran against the background of the unfolding developments and radical changes taking place in the Middle East in general and Iran in particular. As such, he will try to paint a picture of Iranian society internalizing its various political hues and shades, presenting a seasoned evaluation of possible radical changes in Iran.
