Re: Politics of Iran
That requires a few too many assumptions.
My Iranian sources tell me the urban, western leaning, middle class of Iran constitute a slight majority, but are disorganized, having a half dozen or so different competing factions. That allows the well-armed, well-organized, rural, religious minority to remain in power.
Absent a blood investment by the middle class, nothing will change. I'm not optimistic.
I'd rather not get into an analogy with U.S. politics. There's enough complexity to Iranian politics to keep us busy.
