For the first time in nearly a decade, one dares to believe that the Islamist clerics who have ruled Iran since 1979 will not be in power by the time the 40th anniversary of their revolution rolls around in 2019. The nationwide protests are a direct challenge to the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic, as evidenced in the slogans chanted by the demonstrators. The handful of world governments who regard the demise of Iran’s regime as a desirable end need to stay the course, however long it may take, writes JNS columnist Ben Cohen.
