I didn't think you were being flippant or unclear FWIW, and if the eventual outcome for the government in Iran is something like the government in Syria, that would be a major advance for the people of Iran and the stability of the region IMHO.

My point was simply that the road to get there may be long and bloody. And yes there are many important differences between Syria and Iran. That being said, Iran is a pretty diverse country. There are Kurds for instance just like in Syria, and I have read that some Kurdish separatist groups have been in contact with Israel already.

Per below, 9% of the population speak Kurdish, 14% speak Azerbaijani. Per below, about half of Iranians speak a language other than Persian at home or in informal public settings.
