The Islamic Republic of Iran is a republic, not a denocracy.

The US is a republic that notionally is both democratic and federal.

No, they don't, because a tirumvirate consists of three people, and triumvirates are notoriously unstable. (The two ruling Roman triumvirates from which the term is generalized having lasted less than 15 years combined.)

It works for the US. Also the Soviet Union - the Party, the KGB, and the Army. The reason for stability is one can block the other two. The Constitution is full of checks and balances to this end.

No, it doesn’t, because, again, the US doesn’t have one.
