The legitimacy of any government often hinges on how it responds to the needs and concerns of its people. Let's take a closer look at the Iranian government, currently facing significant challenges to its authority that range from internal dissent to economic hardships. Protests have surged notably since the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, igniting widespread unrest as citizens voice their frustration with the regime. These protests captured international attention, leading to a critical examination of the government’s legitimacy both at home and abroad.Speaking of discontent, the Iranian economy has been in shambles for years, plagued by high inflation and currency devaluation. This economic turmoil has only fueled public dissatisfaction, with many citizens questioning how effective their leadership really is. Recent surveys paint a grim picture; reports indicate that over 60% of Iranians express disapproval of the current regime, with some experts estimating actual support may be as low as 10%. Those numbers surely raise eyebrows and prompt inquiry into how long the government can maintain control amidst such widespread discontent.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
