In the wake of an intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, debates about the stability of Iran’s government are ramping up. Following 12 days of Israeli attacks, not only is there growing concern about Iran's nuclear ambitions, but discussions about “regime change” are again under the spotlight.
The Iranian diaspora, since the 1979 revolution, has largely aimed at opposing the Islamic Republic, with voices ranging from exiles to activists. Many within this community express discontent toward their homeland's regime, particularly in light of the recent violence.
While different factions of this diaspora, including leftists, secular democrats, and human rights advocates, lack a cohesive organizational structure, they have used their collective voice to protest against human rights abuses in Iran globally. Taghi Rahmani, a well-known dissident in Paris, highlights that their grassroots protests effectively echo demands for change from ordinary Iranians seeking a more democratic future.
The diverse opinions among the Iranian exiles reflect the intricate social landscape of a community still grappling with its identity and vision for a post-Islamic Republic Iran.
