Talk of war with Iran is ramping up. Many are of the opinion that the U.S. taking military action to topple the Iranian regime leadership, specifically the Ayatollah, his family, and their inner circle, is a necessary step to further stabilize the Middle East and also free the Iranian people from tyranny. How likely is such a military step to take place and is this a necessary prelude to launching of the tidal power outages?

In recent protests across Iran, official sources report at least 5,000 fatalities, including around 500 security personnel. This figure marks a significant escalation in the violence that has unfolded since demonstrations began on December 28, triggered by a sharp decline in the value of the rial. Initially sparked by economic discontent, the protests swiftly evolved into a widespread Anti-Government Movement, demanding the resignation of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. An Iranian official attributed the high death toll to external influences, specifically pointing to “Israel and armed groups abroad.” The government has indicated that the current death toll is unlikely to increase significantly. However, human rights organizations have reported that security forces have killed many protesters, with over 20,000 arrests linked to the unrest. The Iranian government imposed an internet blackout on January 8, complicating efforts to ascertain the true extent of the casualties and limiting humanitarian organizations’ ability to respond. Estimates from independent sources suggest that protester deaths could have reached 6,000 in a matter of days during the blackout.
