    Is this the end of the Islamic regime in Iran?
    This has close parallels to how the previous government fell in 79.

    But then again Iran has seen political upheaval numerous times since the Green protests in 09 with little to show for it.

    The Iranian people are doomed if they cannot solve their existential domestic problems.

    From markets to streets: Iran protests spread nationwide on day two


    What began as anger over the surging price of the US dollar and the collapse of the rial has widened into a broader wave of unrest, moving beyond market corridors and into streets, squares and university campuses across multiple provinces.

    In Tehran, major sections of the bazaar were shuttered, including major commercial centers in the Grand Bazaar as well as the Alaeddin mall.

    Crowds poured into streets in several parts of central Tehran, where security forces deployed tear gas and clashes were reported.

    Doesn't the regime just arrest and execute a bunch of people after each iteration of protests?
