Concerns are growing within the Iranian leadership that a possible US strike could lead not to the consolidation of society, but to a new surge in mass protests and threaten the stability of power. Reuters reported this, citing six current and former Iranian officials familiar with the situation. According to sources, senior government officials warned Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in closed meetings that public discontent following the January crackdown had reached a critical level. The suppression of anti-government protests last month, the bloodiest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, they believe, has destroyed the main restraining factor: fear. Officials told Khamenei that a significant portion of the population is ready to confront security forces again, and external pressure, including even a limited US strike, could embolden the protesters. According to one source, the combination of external attacks and street protests could lead to the collapse of the ruling system, which is allegedly what the Islamic Republic's opponents are seeking. These admissions reflect underlying fears within the Iranian establishment and stand in stark contrast to Tehran's public rhetoric, which projects confidence and toughness toward both the protesters and Washington. Sources declined to specify how Khamenei responded to such warnings. Iran's Foreign Ministry did not respond to Reuters' request for comment. Concerns are growing amid discussions in the United States about possible action against Iran. Reuters previously reported that US President Donald Trump was considering targeted strikes against security forces and key regime figures to increase pressure on Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli and Arab officials have indicated that airstrikes alone are insufficient to overthrow the clerical regime. Former Iranian officials and opposition figures are also warning of growing public anger. Amid the January events, former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi, who has been under house arrest since 2011, stated that the bloodshed of protesters would inevitably change the course of history and that society no longer accepts the existing system. Human rights activists and eyewitnesses claim that security forces used lethal force during the January protests, resulting in the deaths of thousands. Iranian authorities blamed the violence on "armed terrorists" allegedly linked to Israel and the United States. Analysts note that despite the relative calm on the streets, the underlying causes of discontent remain. Economic decline, political repression, corruption, and growing social inequality are creating an atmosphere in which a new uprising could flare up with even greater force, especially in the event of an external attack. Iranians interviewed by Reuters say they expect a harsh government response to any new protests. One Tehran resident, who lost his 15-year-old son during the January protests, said that if the US strikes, he will take to the streets again, because, in his words, people "have nothing left to lose." İn this case expectations are growing in Israeli political and security circles of a possible military escalation by the United States amid protracted contacts with Iran. Senior Israeli sources believe that if negotiations fail again, the American president may resort to military action. These assessments are being voiced on the eve of a meeting between Israeli leaders and Donald Trump's envoy, who is expected to arrive for consultations. According to the interlocutors, Jerusalem is drawing on previous experience, when dialogue with Tehran ended without results due to fundamental disagreements between the parties. Sources note that without progress, the diplomatic track could be ultimately exhausted. In this case, Israel believes, the White House could rely on force as its primary tool for influencing Iran. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan
