The Iran team got knocked out but that is only part of the story.

@Ynotisay My British Iranian friend is hopeful but worried. The protests continue but a lot of people are getting killed.

@Burnley123 It's a horrific scene. But it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I admire the resolve. But something is going to have to give.

@Ynotisay Based on my knowledge and an honest take, Iran is due for years of instability and turmoil. There are basically three factions: The current regime, the progressive protesters, and the monarchist restoration movement.

@Burnley123 Yep. And it's coming to head. Those are very distinct perspectives. Oil and water.
