I'm sorry if I'm stupid, but I'm not sure what in my post you're addressing. I glanced it over again, and I see no mention of a video

The Iranians swore loyalty to a cardboard cutout of the new Ayatollah. It wasn't even a good cardboard cutout. It was really bad.

So bad that I can't believe they did it.

This does not project a winning spirit.

>Trump and Netanyahu have both told the Iranian people to wait for the signal to rise up and are bombing Basij regularly
>Somehow complain that the people haven't risen up yet

Israel Foreign Minister Mr. Saar: "Iran’s government could survive the war"

Why are you quoting half his statement?

"Saar acknowledged in the briefing that Iran’s government could survive the war but expressed confidence it would collapse later, sources said."

Genuinely why does everyone put so much faith on the exiled prince? to me he is more of an average guy talking about supporting the Iranian people and how Iran used to have jews until the muzzies came and nothing else on the situation or its potential global relationship.

Totalitarian regimes don't allow domestic opposition, so when you need an opposition leader, it's necessarily someone who is outside the country.
In any case, he simply needs to unite the opposition by promising to establish a transitional government, which is exactly what he promises to do, so whether or not people want him as the next leader is largely irrelevant, so long as they trust that the transitional government will allow fair votes.

More importantly, the opposition needs someone to lead, and even if he's not everyone's first choice, he is by far the person with the most support, so he's the only rational option.

If the Iranian people don't replace their government, we have plans (spoiler: leveling the entire country)

This is something that's being overlooked. If it appears that the regime won't collapse, I wouldn't put it past Israel to completely obliterate all remaining power stations, water supplies, and transportation infrastructure and just let the country devolve into civil war as everyone tries to avoid dying from thirst.
They may even deploy one of those nukes they promise they don't have.

Why do people pretend its a mystery and sign of failure that an armed revolt hasn't happened yet when they got explicitly told not to go out until the bombs stopped?

Devils advocate here, what evidence do we have that the rebellious part of the population is organized enough to make this work? A few tents being lit on fire and people cheering from their apartment blocks? The people willing to go into the streets were gunned down a couple months ago.

Im not trying to argue and shit up the thread, genuinely interested in evidence.

No matter our differences, if it gets us kino nuke footage we can all be respectfully bipartisan.
