Surprised there is no thread on it considering the ramifications and how quickly the situation is changing (but also understand the world is a bit chaotic right now). Iran is in the middle of another mass protest and the largest since 2022 (around 2 weeks so far), but this appears to be the event that could finally topple the regime as the situation escalates significantly in both scale and violencee.

Several towns have already supposedly fallen to mass protests and allegedly Iran's gold has been flown to Russia in a potential exodus the same way that al-Assad escaped before the toppling of his regime.

The internet has been shut off as a deterrent, but for a country where Tehran has literally no water, people believing they have nothing to lose anymore, and Reza Pahlavi (son of the former shah) seemingly putting himself as a rallying cry, this has momentum. Trump has also threatened to intervene militarily.

BBC has a pretty good timeline with live updates as best as they can get with lots of information.

Is this the time that change finally occurs in Iran?
