So if Iran falls and they revert back to Zoroasterianism!!
Chances are less. The Zoroastrians in Iran will be able to follow their faith with little bit more freedom. They will be a an Islamic country without wearing Hijab but abusing Kafirs under their new Shah. Following and living as per Islamic religious believes is difficult, but its cool to be using the powers against others. Don't belive the Narratives during the color revolution.
Very well put Uddu-ji. This is the crux of the issue when dealing with any society that has been radicalized.
Wish ShyamD was around. He was extremely knowledgeable with ground level information on this part of the world.
The Chosun of South Korea reports:
Netanyahu Aims to Phase Out U.S. Military Aid Within a Decade
Israeli Prime Minister emphasizes military maturity, plans $110 billion investment to build independent defense industry https://www.chosun.com/english/world-en ... TCSW4VLHQ/
The Economist, a British weekly magazine, reported in an interview with Prime Minister Netanyahu published on the 10th, local time, that he stated, “We want to gradually reduce U.S. military aid within the next 10 years.”
When asked if he would reduce U.S. military support to “zero (0),” Netanyahu responded, “Yes.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu has previously indicated that Israel should not rely on military aid. However, this is the first time he has publicly stated his position on U.S. military support.

Here is a video from PGurus with a guy who is pretty well versed with Iranian life and belief system. Interesting insights to the strain of Zoroastrianism in Iran. Also an interesting perspective of bringing in a vedic perspective to that society.

I see an Iran that is not subject to American sanctions to be to India’s benefit. The northern route, route to Afghanistan, Chabahar port investment, etc., will be fruitful.
