Iran's regime pays them to shoot. What happens when the money runs out? - opinion

The Islamic Republic of Iran faces a critical threat to its survival as it relies on paid security forces to maintain control and suppress public dissent.

According to regional analysis, the regime's continued existence depends heavily on financial compensation to its armed personnel. This reliance creates a vulnerability centered on whether loyalty can be sustained if funding diminishes.

The ultimate stability of the government may rest on the calculations of its own forces regarding the risks of continued obedience versus defection.
