Problem

Seems like Trump and Israel thought decapitating or pressuring the mullahs and IRGC would lead to a popular uprising to take back power. But the problem is the same as it has been since 1979 - the population hates the mullahs but doesn't have the will, firepower, or army to take back power from them. Seems like we should've at least had some sense that the army or some other institution would've been willing to turn their guns on the IRGC. If not, what did we expect would happen exactly?
