This regime has survived by force of repression and repression, it is not enough to be repressed, it will not stay for a while.
Around the beginning of the Iranian new year, changes in the White House political pyramid started creating severe concerns within the regime ruling Iran.
It began with the dismissal of former United States secretary of state Rex Tillerson and his replacement with former CIA Director Mike Pompeo who is very much aligned with the political views of US President Donald Trump.
Tehran’s concerns increased when former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton was appointed as Trump’s National Security Advisor. He is known to have had transparent and strong views against Iran’s destabilizing activities in the Middle East.On the consensus among White House to overcome Tehran’s threats, one of the regime’s diplomats by the name of Tajik said: “One of the most anti-Iranians governments is coming to the power in the US.” Tehran understands Bolton has good relations with the main Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).“Now there is underway…a policy review to determine what US policy will be on a whole range of issues, including how to deal with the regime in Tehran. The outcome of the president’s policy review should be to determine that the Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1979 revolution will not last until its 40th birthday. There is a viable opposition to the rule of the ayatollahs and that opposition is centered in this room today,” he said at the Iranian opposition last major rally in Paris back in July 2017.
