Why Do Iranians Hate The Ayatollah?

Iran's regime faces unprecedented internal crisis as Israeli airstrikes target government control centers while massive protests sweep through Tehran and over forty cities. Citizens chant "death to Khamenei" as the ayatollah's authority crumbles under external military pressure and domestic uprising.

Israeli Operation Rising Lion has strategically shifted from nuclear facilities to hitting Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, riot control headquarters, and command structures. This has left security forces unable to coordinate responses to growing demonstrations, with reports of military units refusing orders and joining protesters.

The crisis deepens as power outages leave Tehran in darkness for eighteen hours daily, water pumps fail, and food prices triple. Iranian officials reportedly flee to Dubai and Turkey while banking records show suspicious foreign transfers. A viral open letter from sociologist Mostafa Mehraeen declares Iranians no longer recognize the regime's legitimacy.

President Trump signals potential diplomatic solutions while warning against retaliation. This analysis examines why the current uprising differs from previous Iranian protests and whether the regime can survive its worst crisis since 1979.
