Even Iranian people who I’ve spoken to/DM’ed who still support “Iranian Islamic Revolutionism” on a personal level basically admit that their ideology is dead in Millenials and Zoomers and everyone under ~40 in Iran is essentially an atheist who watches all the recent ‘decadent Western movies’, anime and Vizieslop Hazbin Hotel shows essentially.
This is why Trump attacking Iran for 1srael is retarded even from a “U.S. national interests geopolitical realism” perspective btw.
The Obama/Kerry doctrine of essentially buttering Iran up so they would eventually ‘integrate into the world system’, drop the ‘Islamic’ and just become “Republic of” - Was essentially working.
Trump doing what he did disgraced the ‘reformists’ and now despite their ideologies general unpopularity with the youth, the ‘hardliners’ are now still basically in charge.
