I am actually quite disturbed. The barbarian Mullahs in power, will not give up without bloodshed.

The Army is weak, in comparison to the RG.

The protests, as of now does not have enough momentum to grind life to a halt.

So either things will fizzle out with the Govt crackdown, or the people will take to the streets, which does not seem to be happening.

Serious question. Not taking an Arab dig here ...

Do you honestly believe the earlier uprising that was crushed, and now this one, is simply against the "barbarian mullas" ?

Is it just political and economic?

Or is there something else that the Muslim world does not want to admit to?

You can just briefly go through this thread, and you will see a persistent undertone - Economy.

When your hard earned money i.e. taxes, is being wasted overseas, while inflation at home increases = discontent.

THIS particular series of protests started from Mashhad, because of the prices of eggs. The Govt had earlier provided subsidies, but that did not help. Just so that you can understand, the prices of eggs is about 10% cheaper in the UAE than Iran,

Keeping in mind, zero subsidies and the fact that we import some of our eggs.

Secondly, If the Wilayat Al Faqih Mullahs, have so much widespread support, then why have they put media bans on the opposition, Mullah Shirazi in particular, you can find his details in this thread as well.

What is 10% higher cost of eggs man?

Do you know the price cycles India and Pakistan go through EVERY year for staples like onions and tomatoes?

You're skimming the surface. Look deeper. And further back.

Why is he silent ? or did he give any statement

In a nationwide revolt the first 48 hours determine the faith of the attempt. Overtaking key positions in security insitutions and the Media.
We can guess that the peak was reached and it will calm down.
Iranian Government declared that they defeated " armed groups" (plural) which wanted overtake military bases.
That's what I mentioned this morning.
Seems that the Iranian complex command structure was effective, much more effective than the Turkish,
where the people defeated the coupist soldiers.
Ruhani said that he is open to discuss "economic problems". That's all what he promised.
But if the armed MEK,PJAK opposition and infiltators will try to escalate and divide the country ,
with help from foreign countries Iran will face a bloody civil war.
The reform process will fail and Iran will suffer again decades. Maybe that is the foreign plan to provoke the Mullahs .
It reminds me Arab Spring, which led to destruction and establishment of dictators.
