It's true. But overall it's working, and transition is a risk.The other way to see it is that the Supreme Leader has been deeply unpopular for decades and somehow this supposedly divided system was able to persist this long despite constant efforts to sabotage it, almost as if the state’s resilience is in fact not dependent on the Supreme Leader.
Funny how everyone was like "OMG! China helped with the Iran-Saudi reproachment. Its so successful! Diplomacy is so sexy! They are joining BRICS and opposing the US haha GG!" I'll still blame Iran for being so naive with their nuclear program. Now they are stuck having to keep their friends happy with oil prices and no real way to defend themselves without setting the world economy on fire, and even that might still checkmate them and turn even their partners against them.

I think it is the opposite. Iran does NOT have loyalty or emotion. That is the exact point. They have less loyalty and inspire less emotion than the governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India... and that is a low, low bar when you're competing with South Asia in terms of trust for government.As we approach WW3 and things get more desperate, there will be no more fence sitting. You have to make a decisive decision. I think we are seeing the consolidation of pacts now.
Apart from that another thing unfortunately is effectiveness. Doesn't matter how good your causes are. You need to effectively implement it. Relying on loyalty or emotion heavily just doesn't work in today's modern environment.
Another interceptor fail in Bahrain,I wonder if iran missiles use some sort of electric warfare/jamming device that jam any missile that try to approach them causing the missiles to crash.
