Protests in Iran: regime change on the cards?

The Iranian regime has its back against the wall, writes Der Standard:

“This time there is danger on two fronts, from inside and outside the country: demonstrators, some of them ready to resort to violence, are chanting ‘Down with the dictator!’, and threats from the US and Israel which no longer sound unrealistic after the 12-day war in June 2025. … US Secretary of State Marco Rubio never tires of spreading the message, including on the US State Department’s Persian-language X account, that everyone knows by now that Donald Trump means what he says. According to Rubio, the US president wants to ‘come to the aid’ of the demonstrators if the regime uses violence against them.”
