What did not put Iran down already made it stronger. The sanctions have done Iran much damage, that we can be sure. But did that collapse the regime? That it did not collapse testify to the resilient of the Iranians. Sure, there are always pockets of people not happy with the government of the day in any country, because they are also aiming to become the Government. This is happening in even the most democratic of countries like the USA itself and in Europe.
The Iranians should be able to judge the cost of a regime change. They have seen regime changes in Iraq, Libya and Syria, bringing nothing but more chaos and misery. It the Iranians yearned for a regime change to happen. then, I have nothing more to say.
In the eyes of any opposition anywhere in the world, they always want a change of Government, hyping that it would be for the better. I believe that there are also people in the USA wanting a regime change or even a revolution to change things right at this moment.
Regime change will happen when citizens cannot tolerate living conditions falling off a cliff. Then, even military power cannot hold back. That it has not happened in Iran tells us things are not that bad, only touted in manufactured propaganda to be bad to fit the agenda of its enemy.
Suffice to say, Chinese citizens are even saying they do not want the kind of democracy prevalent in the USA today, having seen via Rednote how USA citizens are living their lives that does not seem to be better than theirs.

Israel thought the Iranians are like Hamas, which they thought they could easily walk over like taking candy from a kid. Yes, Israel has won a glorious six-day war against the Arabs before, with all the help from the USA, UK and France among others, and which it is thinking of repeating. Yet, after such brutal assault, the war against Hamas is still ongoing after a year and a half.
The retaliation by Iran probably astounded Trump and Netanyahu, such that they needed to call a truce. Many are saying the USA and Israel are running out of weapons and needed a truce to regroup and rearm. Many of the hypersonic missiles raining on Tel Aviv were never expected and the damage was as bad a those in Gaza. I think the Israelis in Tel Aviv are as bewildered as the Palestinians in Gaza, having never faced such onslaught from any Arab or Muslim neighbors. Israel's invincibility after this war has been totally shattered.
Iran is now confirmed to be buying Chinese weapons - the J10C and I believe also the hypersonic PL15E on top of other Chinese defensive weapons. Bear in mind that some weapons have not even been tested so far in real combat other than those used by the Pakistanis. And I think the USA and the West cannot call them junks, right?
And what about Iran's nuke program? I think we can hear some news soon and not later. It is a priority for Iran, and they are not wasting precious time now, knowing it is an existential choice.
Iran should not rejoin the IAEA, no matter what touted changes are made inside the IAEA. Being under the control of the USA and the West, any new appointee to head the agency will still toe the same line as Rafael Mariano Grossi, suspected of working for the Israelis and giving false information about Iran's nuclear program and information that enabled Israel and the USA to target Iranian nuclear scientists and engineers working on Iran's nuclear program.
Any change inside the IAEA will just be cosmetic when its agenda is working for the USA, Israel and the West, just like any other world body now existing.
Just as seen in aviation, the USA and EU refused to certify China's Comac C919 aircrafts for international service, despite satisfying all the parameters. The certifying body in aviation is controlled by the West, whose motive is to keep Boeing's and Airbus's monopolistic position in global aviation and keep others out.
But China is not too rattled, as the Chinese aviation market is big enough for Comac to survive just building planes for the domestic market. When a push leads to a shove, China can always make domestic aviation the playground of Comac itself. The USA and EU better play their cards more smartly if they want to destroy Comac's C919 from accessing the global market.
Let Boeing continue to crash their planes.
