Iran facing rising civil unrest

Cities and towns across the country are chanting for the overthrow of the Ayatollah and the return of the Shah on the streets - thousands have been arrested, hundreds injured and dozens suspected to have been killed

We've been here before, of course. What will make the difference will be defections from regime forces.

I am usually a sceptic of regime change, having opposed the Iraq, Syria and Libya interventions (and proven right, I believe - other than on Syria which remains to be seen). However, Iran is different in that it has a broadly unified and moderate opposition, the Iranian Imperial Family can take leadership as a rallying cause, and the collapse of the Islamic Republic would be a positive for the region and the world.

The exiled Crown Prince (and would-be Shah) has called for more people to come out on the streets or chant at 8pm on Thursday and Friday.

Protests intensifying tonight.

Intelligence sources are now reassessing and saying there's a real risk the Islamic Republic is about to collapse.
