We finally got the answer to how unarmed Iranian people are supposed to face armed regime forces. During the localized protests on Tuesday, we saw Israeli drones actively taking out regime checkpoints and forces in the streets. This was just a test run. It proves that when the final call to action is announced, the Iranian people will have aerial defense on their side.
The delay in the final call to action is a deliberate strategy, not a failure. By issuing smaller calls to action, the opposition is poking the Islamic Republic, forcing them to exhaust their resources and demoralize their forces. These test runs are reducing the regime's suppressing ability and causing massive defections before the main event even begins.
