This is much bigger than Venezuela.The fall of Iran would be a crushing setback for the Islamic expansion project and for its enablers, the globalist Left.
No doubt the ayatollahs blame it on the Jews, or some outside forces:
The globalist media are biased and corrupt. They have been spreading Hamas’s lies every single day, yet ignore the great Iranian uprising against the barbaric terrorist Islamic regime. They are full of shiite. We are the real media now.
In Iran, the mosques are burning
We should all stand with those brave Iranian protesters.

Iran regime said to unleash Hezbollah and Iraqi militias as uprising spreads
As anti-regime protests spread across Iran for a 12th straight day, the Islamic Republic has reportedly turned to foreign militias for support, with two independent sources confirming that roughly 850 Hezbollah, Iraqi militia and Quds Force-linked fighters crossed into Iran to bolster the regime’s security forces.
The reported movement marks a significant escalation in the regime’s response, signaling a willingness to rely on allied foreign militias with combat experience to help suppress domestic dissent.
“This is nothing new for the regime. It is the logical extension of a playbook the ruling clerics have used since 1979 to outsource repression to ideologically loyal militias and then integrate them into the state’s coercive infrastructure,” Iran expert Lisa Daftari told Fox News Digital.
