Something similar happened in Nepal on the September protests. The state literally got overwhelmed in a single day and everything was burnt to the ground. Maybe we are witnessing something similar - hopefully leading to the end of the Mullahs, finally!

Doesn't this simply tell the Mullahs, "the bomb" is the only realistic option for survival now if "great" powers can simply invade whoever they don't "like". Like others, it seems like you approve of this which seems a tad hypocritical given the rightful defence of Ukraine against Russians!
