Iran's Opposition Faces Internal Strife Amid Growing Tensions

Iranian opposition groups, both within the country and in exile, are contemplating regime change amidst internal divisions and external pressures. While exiled leaders push for protests, internal activists are cautious amidst Israeli actions and fear of reprisals. The debate on a possible uprising continues as tensions rise.

Iran's opposition faces critical crossroads with both external and internal forces shaping their strategies. Exiled leaders rally for protests, yet activists within the country exercise caution amidst Israeli strikes and the Islamic Republic's suppressive tactics.

Reza Pahlavi, son of the late shah, has publicly voiced ambitions to lead Iran's political transition, marking a potential turning point for the nation's politics. However, opposition unification remains elusive as factions like the People's Mujahideen Organisation (MEK) vie for influence.

Despite a weakening government, the prospects of widespread demonstrations are uncertain. Fear and strategic hesitations influence activists' decisions, highlighting the complexities of rallying a divided resistance under threat of government crackdown and regional conflict.
