Iran is currently in a position where nothing but violent resistance is likely to have an effect. The people in charge live safely in gated communities or abroad and have no shame, protestor deaths in the streets don't faze them even a little bit.

Why would violent resistance be effective at this point? That seems likely to result in Syria or Libya at best.

Speaking uncharitably (and ignoring vast theological differences…), the folks talking about violent overthrow seem pretty naive. ISIS was bad enough when they didn’t have the Zagros mountains to hide behind.

It would be effective because the current leaders would flee the country. ISIS was created due to a power vacuum (actively, but naively) engineered by the US civil administration in Iraq. With some luck, things will turn out differently in Iran.
