Iran's Opposition Battling But Hobbled by Divisions
Deep divisions in the Iranian opposition dating back decades now pose a significant challenge to efforts at delivering change in Iran, where security forces have unleashed a ferocious crackdown against anti-government protests that have reached a level unseen in many years.
For more than two weeks, Iran has been crossed by demonstrations of unprecedented magnitude. Born of the economic collapse, the fall of the rial and deep social anger, they face bloody repression. The hypothesis of an end to the power of the mullahs resurfaces, but no clear prospect of a political transition emerges.
Protests in Iran are claiming thousands of lives, but the opposition is struggling to unite around a single leadership. Ideological, ethnic and political divisions raise doubts about whether the regime can fall without a violent or chaotic transition.
