The new government is led by the Ayatollah Khamenei. The son of the last one, younger and out for revenge.

Knocking off Saddam gave us ISIS. These things have a way of going sideways.

Not the military, the IRGC. Which is a religiously indoctrinated military.

Unfortunately, it's now theocrat vs. theocrat.

The IRGC is probably more analogous to the Ba’ath party than the Taliban if we’re limiting ourself to regional comparisons
