Trump didn't topple the regime - but the Iranian street hasn't had its say yet
Iran may approach a deal with the West after the war, but the internal crisis is far from over. The new leadership faces destruction, shortages, and growing public pressure.
Assessment
Despite Trump's failure to topple the regime, the Iranian street remains a volatile variable. The new leadership faces destruction, shortages, and escalating public pressure, making internal crisis management as urgent as any potential post-war agreement with the West. Whether the regime can contain this pressure will shape Iran's next moves.
