US Report: Iran Regime Won't Be Overthrown

According to the Washington Post, a classified report by the National Intelligence Council concludes that a major U.S. military campaign against Iran is unlikely and would not lead to the collapse of the Islamic regime.

Analysts note that the fragmented Iranian opposition is unable to quickly seize power, and Washington's plans would face significant obstacles. Experts report that Iran's system is specifically designed to survive crises and resist external pressure.

There are currently no signs of a mass popular uprising, despite the damage from U.S. and Israeli strikes, and the regime remains strong.

This assessment differs from Trump's rhetoric about 'freedom for Iranians' and a possible change of power.

In August 2023, media reports noted that the Trump administration had considered the possibility of military intervention in Iran, but the published report reveals a different, more realistic scenario.
