If this was actually an option. That would be a rather cheap solution. I don’t see any indications that this is a functional option. Conditions can change, but the Shah was overthrown when 6-9 million Muslims rebelled against him. 2 million of those in Tehran. We saw 1.5 million people protest before Iran brutally suppressed them, but the decision to protest is easier than the decision to violently rebel and only a much smaller fraction of people willing to fight would be represented in that population group. I don’t see any of the necessary variables in place to suggest that arming people would do much. The act of arming people is also more difficult in Iran than a place like Iraq, where the country is much more cleanly separated (Shia in the south, Kurds in the north, Sunnis in the middle of the country). Iran’s populations are much more uniform and/or mixed. How do you get weapons in and get them into the right hands without them being intercepted? How do you get them into enough hands for a criticality to exist where enough of an insurgency can occur to make a difference. Now how do you do this in enough regions. “Arm the Iranian people” is very easy to say but it doesn’t seem to be an actual solution. I’d love to be wrong on this, because if it’s an actual solution, it solves a big problem.
