What choice do they even have?
In my opinion Iran should go the FEDERALISM route:
I understand that Federalism for Iran might seem radical at first glance, but I truly believe it could be a path towards a more stable and prosperous future for their nation.
While It's true that national unity is paramount. But let's be honest, the current centralized system is struggling to contain the diverse aspirations of their people. We should not deny that there's social unrest; the economic disparities between regions, and the persistent calls for greater autonomy from their minority groups.
So rather than fearing fragmentation, I believe Federalism could MAYBE strengthen their unity. It would allow each province to address its unique challenges and aspirations within a framework that preserves their shared identity as Iranians. It's about recognizing its diversity as a source of strength, not a threat to their cohesion or even identity.
Of course, such a proposal would require another revolution to force the hands of the current Elites that's running the country.
But, with the direction it's heading why not take the chance whose outcome maybe more tenable (retaining its full sovereignty), rather than become another puppet to the western powers.
