He shared  Espresso TV.

"On the day when Iran comes as close as possible to creating a nuclear bomb, that is the day that war can happen. But there is a factor that can turn everything around - the revolution in Iran. Not only street protests but also strikes have been going on for more than 4 months, people deliberately do not pay taxes, utilities, and withdraw money from their accounts in order to bring the economy of the Islamic Republic to collapse. Therefore, Iranians inside the country can influence the situation of problems around Iran. If the revolution wins, then all the problems: drones, the nuclear program, terrorist groups in the region - all of them will be solved," said the independent Iranian observer.

Maziar Mian noted that the events of the last 4 months in Iran are the largest protests in the 44-year history of the Islamic Republic.

"This revolution is unique, it is a different type of protest, because there have always been protests in Iran. These protests will not stop until there are major concessions from the ruling regime or the revolution is victorious. The revolutionary process in Iran is very complex and is not limited to street protests. There is a struggle in all spheres, including the security forces. However, no one knows how long the revolution will last," Mian said.

  • On September 6, 2022, protests broke out in Iran after police arrested 22-year-old Mahsa Amini for wearing a hijab incorrectly. She later died at the hands of law enforcement. The protests, led by women, covered 160 cities in all 31 provinces of the country and are considered one of the most serious since the 1979 revolution.
