 YESTERDAY, December 7, 1941, is a date that will live in an infamy speech by President   
 Franklin D. Roosevelt.   
 YESTERDAY, December 7, 2024, Iran's Supreme Leader, Arab Sayyed Ali Khamenei, said,   
 "This is a day that we shall mourn the fall," referring to the fall of the Syrian dictator Bashar Al   
 Assad's government and his escape to Russia as an asylum.   
 The government of the mullahs wasted no time blaming Assad's fall on others.   
 The Islamic Republic of Iran claims that not supporting Assad's government was in the   
 interest of our revolution—however, Iran International political analyst Morad Veisi says,   
 not so fast. The government of the mullahs supported Assad until no longer able.   
 Then, it blamed Turkish FM Hakan Fidan. "We were deceived." Another baseless claim.   
 Says Morad. It was Mullah's government's lack of better policy. Neither Hezbollah, the   
 Fatemian group, Iraq's Hashd al-Shabi, nor Iran's forces were in a condition to help.   
 Iran's jet fighters faced Israel's considerable threat; thus, they turned back.   
 Lastly, blaming its own President Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi   
 for its failure. They both have denied it.   
 Syria was an essential geographical link that permitted Iran to move weapons and supplies to   
 Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, which made Iran Israel's hostile neighbor. And now Iran's   
 stable ally in Syria, President Bashar Assad, is gone.   
 Denials, lies, and deception ["Taghiyah" permissible lie in Shi'a Islam] have been an   
 inseparable and essential part of Iran's Islamic government. Iran's supreme leader, Ali   
 Khamenei, repeatedly said, "Our Islamic Republic has reached its pinnacle, and our   
 revolution is vastly successful."   
 Iran's leadership shot themselves in the foot when, on Oct. 7, 2023, his proxy attacked Israel.   
 The devastating Israeli operation in Gaza has created a massive dent in Iran's capability.   
 Israel has pondered Iran's most powerful ally, Hezbollah, and nearly eliminated Hamas and   
 has successfully destroyed Iran's strategic military bases inside Iran.   
 Morad Veisi, who often correctly analyzes political data and theories, believes the collapse of   
 Iran's theocratic regime is imminent, and his reasons:   
 1. Iran's aggressive regional operation, an Armed Network headed by Quds Forces, a   
 branch of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is a menace in the area.   
 2. Iran's state-sponsored terrorist organizations, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi groups,   
 Palestine Islamic Jihad, and the Shi'a militias in Syria and Iraq, run its foreign policies.   
 3. Mullah's regime's hostile policies of 'anti-Israel' and anti-American. Khamenei has   
 repeatedly declared, "Soon we shall have the power to destroy Israel and America."   
 1. Fall of Syria Assad is a significant blow to Iran's 'Axis of Resistance.'   
 4. Hezbollah and Hamas, Iran's most crucial legate in the region, is at its weakest.   
 5. The fall of Damascus, Iran's most important strategic base.   
 6. The end of Iran's meddling in Jorden. Mullah's proxies have worked overtime, inciting   
 protests and increasing drugs and weapons to destabilize Jordan during the Gaza war.   
 7. Khamenei's logistic planning to arm the Western Coastal Plains is curbed.   
 8. Iran's sending of arms to Hamas, Lebanon, Gaza, and Islamic Jihad has been halted.   
 9. No longer Aleppo, Damascus, and Latakia International Airports for Iran to send arms.   
 10. The Islamic Republic Embassy in Damascus is overtaken.   
 11. The threat of Iranian Fast Boats, Missiles, Deputy troops, Iraq's Hashd al-Shabi, and   
 Advance Forces in and around the Gaza Strip is muffled.   
 12. Iraqi Sunnis gaining self-confidence are Iran and Iraq's future   
 Threats.   
 13. Two of the four logistic bases of Iran went with the fall of Assad.   
 14. Iranians who, in the 1979 Islamic takeover, believed in the revolution and were behind   
 the clerics are now abandoning their backing and joining the opposition.   
 15. The opposition to the regime is getting more assertive with bolder demands.   
 16. Arab Islam is fast losing its values and grip over the Iranians.   
 17. One night, December 7, 2024, Iran lost 704 kilometers of its secured boundary from the   
 Mediterranean to Iraq/ Syria's Abu Kamal.   
 18. The election of Trump as President of the United States and its cooperation with Israel is   
 a piece of terrible news for the mullah regime.   
 Finally, the oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran faces four (4) compelling rivals, each guaranteed   
 to topple its regime.   
 1. Israel. For decades, Israel's very existence has been threatened by Iran's nuclear   
 programs, and Arab mullahs openly talk of its annihilation.   
 2. The Trumps United States. Mullah's government has repeatedly sworn to destroy   
 America at any cost.   
 3. The European Union:   
 a. The EU has severely criticized Iran for human rights violations, introduced   
 sanctions, and drastically increased pressure against the regime.   
 b. Iran's downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, a passenger flight   
 from Tehran to Kyiv in January 2020, was shot down by the Islamic   
 Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shortly after takeoff, killing all 176 on board.   
 c. The European Union strongly condemned the transfer of Iranian-made ballistic   
 missiles to Russia. The transfer was a direct threat to European security.   
 d. Iran's ballistic missiles and drones are used against Ukrainians.   
 In return, Iran announced an increase in the range of missiles to reach the EU.
