Iran’s Supreme Leader Is Expected to Resist Protests to the End

After decades of containing unrest by blaming foreign meddling, counting on public fear of upheaval, and betting the opposition would not unify, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now facing nationwide protests that have grown from economic collapse into a movement seeking to end the Islamic Republic. Demonstrations have spread across regions and social groups, clashes have turned deadly, and the government has responded with shootings and an internet blackout while the security apparatus signals strain. Many protesters appear more open than past generations to outside pressure or even intervention, boosting the profile of exiled royal figure Reza Pahlavi, even as Khamenei’s regional influence and strategic leverage have weakened after recent Israeli-US strikes. The situation is volatile, and the outcome may hinge on whether Iran’s armed forces stay loyal and escalate repression or fracture under pressure.
