Lean NOmedium
While significant internal unrest and economic challenges are evident, U.S. intelligence assessments and the regime's entrenched military and clerical establishment suggest it is unlikely to fall by June 30, 2026. However, ongoing economic difficulties and public dissatisfaction could lead to future instability.
Risk: A sudden escalation in internal protests or a significant military defection could destabilize the regime, potentially leading to its collapse before the resolution date.
