Zibakalam: I strongly oppose regime change/ Iran will neither reach a dead end nor collapse in 2025/ Every year they say that the Islamic Republic will end next year

Sadegh Zibakalam, a reformist political activist:

Both before and after Donald Trump took office, I basically believed that overthrowing was both impossible and undesirable. I have always expressed my opposition to this issue. I believe that the year 1404 should not be seen as scary as some suggest.

I tell you that nothing will happen in 2025 and the issue of collapse has basically no correspondence with the realities. I should also say that I am not seeking to purify or defend the status quo, however, as an observer, political analyst and university professor who has taught the history of Iran for 30 years, I believe that one should not and cannot go to extremes in my analysis of the situation and assessment since 2025.
