As the Islamic Republic of Iran faces growing opposition at home and abroad, it will increase the repressive apparatus of the state. But even the hardest authoritarian or totalitarian states can fall, particularly if they do not have popular legitimacy. In Iran, there is hope that the fall of the regime will come from within. In Iraq, it came from outside. In the Soviet Union, it fell from within. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy fell due to defeat from without. Either way, the days of the mullahs are numbered. A war to prop up national unity might sadly be their last option.
