Iran Is Burning

Europe Shrinks, America Stands Tall, and Israel’s Democracy Stands as the Last Rampart

Iran is not merely shaking. Iran is cracking. What we are witnessing today is not a passing wave of unrest, not another episodic uprising that the clerical regime can smother with repression and propaganda. It is a structural rupture between a people and a system that has exhausted its ideological, moral, and political capital. Across Iranian cities, from Tehran to provincial towns long ignored by foreign observers, the same dynamic is unfolding: a population that no longer fears death because life under the Islamic Republic has become a permanent humiliation. This moment did not emerge overnight. It is the cumulative result of decades of oppression, corruption, economic collapse, religious coercion, and ideological suffocation. The regime understands this, which explains the ferocity of its response. When a system fires on its own population without hesitation, it is not defending order; it is fighting for survival. And survival, for the Iranian theocracy, has always depended on violence, fear, and external confrontation to distract from internal decay.
