The Iranian Regime Was Exposed before Its People as a Paper Tiger

(Jewish Insider) Natan Sharansky interviewed by Lahav Harkov - Former Israeli politician and Soviet refusenik Natan Sharansky said the Iranian "regime has been very weakened in the eyes of its own people. A regime like Iran needs...a way to keep its people under control, and the only control they had is through fear. The moment the level of fear goes down, or the empire looks weak, or some serious event causes people to doubt it, the regime can fall apart very quickly." "The fact that Israel was destroying the symbols of the regime, one after the other - the [Revolutionary Guards] headquarters, the Interior Ministry that controlled people's movement - meant the regime was being weakened in the eyes of its own people....It was exposed as a paper tiger so quickly." "The regime can be changed by people on the inside, if they stop being afraid. If a small group stops being afraid and goes to the streets, it's very risky. If many people think it's possible and millions stop being afraid, that's the end of the regime."
