Iranians Would Not Defend The Regime Against A Foreign Attack

LONDON -- "Iranians would not rise in support of the present clerical regime in case it is attacked by a foreign power", travellers coming to Europe from different parts of Iran assured.

Western and Iranian experts, diplomats, political analysts and intelligence sources are in general on the view that a military intervention, like what the Americans did in Afghanistan and Iraq, would drew the population closer to the ruling ayatollahs, as it happened after former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein attacked Iran in 1980.

But the travellers, among them important dissident personalities and political observers not only refuted this argument, but say that "grounds for a regime change would be prepared within one year.

"After having crushed and killed the reforms, the Iranians had put all their hopes for a smooth change. After taking the control of the Majles (parliament) with dubious methods and now preparing to grab also the presidency, one can be sure that the Iranians would not raise in support of the regime they hate more than ever", the sources told Iran Press Service, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Reacting to recent declarations from American officials, including President George W. Bush, who, in his State of the Union Address, assured that America "stands by the Iranian people", the sources said the statements had had an important impact on the Iranians, seeking support for their "peaceful struggle".

In a speech pronounced on the occasion of the victory of the Islamic revolution, the embattled Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said, "the whole Iranian nation is united against any threat or attack. If the invaders reach Iran, the country will turn into a burning hell for them".

"This nation does not seek war, does not seek violence and dispute. But the world must know that this nation will not tolerate any invasion", the powerless President added in reaction to mounting international pressures over the ayatollahs plans for nuclear power.

Apparently, Mr. Khatami, who is serving his last months as president, has forgot that many Iranians did came out into the streets after a foul named Hakha, from his desk on a television station in Los Angeles, had promised to fly to Tehran with 50 planes to boot out the clerics from power.

"Even though they were laughing at the man and his pledges, yet many Iranians came out on the Hakha’s D-day, in a demonstration of their hate of the regime and the mullahs", one analyst observed.

During her first visit to European and Middle Eastern capitals, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, the new US State Secretary urged them, particularly the European Troika that is engaged with Tehran over its nuclear program to apply more pressures on the Islamic Republic to abandon its efforts for getting atomic power.

"Visibly, not only the ayatollahs are more and more aware of the dangers of a military action by the United States, but also fears the consequences of a rapprochement between Europe and the United States", the sources said.

In his last Friday sermon, Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the former president, warned the United States against "any military adventurism" in Iran.
"The Persian Gulf is not a region where they can have fireworks and Iran is not a country where they can come for an adventure", Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani, who heads the powerful Expediency Council, told worshippers in Tehran.

The cleric, who might run for the presidency, also argued why advanced industrial countries should have the right to generate "more than 70 per cent" of the needs in electricity from nuclear energy and at the same time use all their efforts to prevent Iran the same right?

"It is not acceptable that developed countries generate 70 or 80 percent of their electricity from nuclear energy and tell Iran, a great and powerful nation, that it cannot have nuclear electricity. Iran does not accept this", he said, not telling however where he got the figures.

Against France that produces close to 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear power, most major industrialized nations derive under 30 percent and some, like Germany, are closing down their present nuclear stations, U.S. Energy Information Administration data shows.

Asked about the sincerity of the mullahs about the nature of the Iranian nuclear program, one that they assure it is only for civilian purposes, all the sources questioned by IPS said they have a "clear sentiment that the ayatollahs are after the atomic bomb".

"After having crushed the reform movement, the clerics wants the nuclear power not only to assert their grip on the nation, but also their hegemony over the oil-rich region and at the same time to prevent any attack from Washington", Mr. Qasem Sho’leh Sa’di, a leading political dissident said in interviews with the Persian services of foreign-based radio stations.

Dear Liberator

I have to agree with the dissidents.

Talk shows in the US always have so called Iran experts that claim Iranians want the nuclear program as a matter of national pride, and if attacked they are very nationalistic and they will unite behind the Mullah$. These same experts also claimed years ago that verballty attacking the Mullah$ would cause the Iranian people to unite behind the hardliners. Well no such thing has happened, the hardliners have lost even greater support, and are totally isolated today, with very little support. These experts are equally wrong about their claims that a military attack on Iran will unite the people behind the hardliners.

What will happen in case of an attack?

1. Some Iranians will get pissed off at the US, this is inevitable, however the majority will be very grateful to the US, more so than the Iraqis, for the Iraqis were politically oppressed but enjoyed social freedoms that Iranians are deprived of. Iranians are not only politically oppressed but also socially oppresed, so for their relief and subsequent gratitude will be far greater when approaching freedom. In the long run, the US will not suffer as much bad PR from attacking Iran, as it will from trading with the Mullah$, befriending Rafsanjani yet again, and supporting their despised regime!

2. If attacked, the majority of the Iranians will not defend the regime. Most Iranians have suffered greately because of this regime, they have either lost loved ones, or had loved ones forced to flee into exile, or have loved ones in prison, or flogged, or psychologically damaged somehow from the abuses of the regime, or they're loved ones are poor and uemployed, addicted, or prostitutes. In short the majority of the families in Iran have suffered some loss or tragedy because of this regime, which they also blame for their losses and suffering. The majority of Iranians will not defend the Mullah$ or their regime if attacked, not even if Israel attacks!


If attacked, the majority of Iranians will not defend the despised and hated regime of the Mullah$!

Now that being said, like Reza Pahalvi, I too do not support a military attack against Iran, I also believe that it will not happen. However, I do oppose any trade or other kinds of neogtiations with the dying regime of the Mullah$ on the part of the US, Europe, Russia and China! Sanction the h.e.l.l. out of the Mullah$ now!

Support the People of Iran, not their ahted and despised terrorist regime!

Iranians won't fight for IRI nor Iran, why?

Well for 26 years they have sat back and watched an occupational regime of filthy Islamic clergymen kill their fellow countrymen who dared resist the occupation, they sat quiet as mollah's destroy cultural heritage sites, and they have watched the mollah's trying to replace an entire culture/language with ARABIC, they watched their female compatriots be flogged and stoned to death without protesting, children (!) were EXECUTED and the Iranian population didn't lift a finger, the young population were given "free" drugs in order to keep them "busy" and people watched as an entire generation was lost to drugs, at times students would demonstrate against the regime and none would turn out to join them and overthrow the filthy islamic regime, and and and.

This is why Iranians will not lift a finger if the U.S. Armed Forces decide to target IRI installations or even full out invasion. Once the U.S. starts targetting IRI facilities the population will awake and realize that with U.S. military backing they will be able to overthrow the Islamic occupational regime in no time. At this point in time the Iranian population have not understood what potential force they can have if they are united and the prospects of them discovering their potential if united looks bleak after 26 years! At this point in time they are paralyzed and are not able to lift a finger. The destruction that the mollah's have inflicted on Iran and Iranians (physically/mentally) is far beyond any attack or invasion by the United States Armed Forces.

From looking at the facts, and ignoring the rhetoric, I would have to agree with Liberator. Of course, a lot depends on who is attacking and what type of attak it is. Iran's Air Force is a Joke. Israeli or American air strikes would produce no responce because there is no responce possible. If those air strikes targeted the mullah$ and not the population, then it is possible they would be applauded. Even if they weren't, there is fuk all that Iran's 'government' could do about them.

There will be some Iranians who will defend the Mullah$, they have been brainwashed. The majority though will not!

Anyone who assumes, the majority of Iranians will risk their lives to defend the Mullah$ and their billions, if attacked by US or Israel are:

1. Reading too much Mullah propoganda by Islamist groupies Robin Wright and Elaine Scoliono

2. Still think that Khatami is a popular president, who enjoys the vast support of the population

3. Are totally and completely out of touch with the reality of contemporary Iran for other reasons
