17:02Now PlayingPressure is mounting on the Iranian government as a U.S. aircraft carrier approaches the country in the wake of anti-regime demonstrations that left thousands dead. But how did the cosmopolitan, Western-facing, oil-rich nation of Iran and its capital, Tehran, fall into the grip of such a brutal regime, concerned only with its own survival? And is the Islamic Republic of Iran living on borrowed time?
In this special report by 9 News Australia, we explore a chilling and dramatic timeline of the near future, investigating whether the Iranian regime is finally on the brink of collapse. From the streets of Tehran to the corridors of power in Washington, we trace the escalating tensions that could reshape the Middle East forever.
The narrative begins in the chaos of January 2026, where Tehran is gripped by the largest protests in decades and a total communications blackout. But to understand the endgame, we must look back. We analyse the pivotal moments leading to this crisis: the death of President Ebrahim Raisi, the resurgence of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, and the geopolitical shockwaves following October 7.
Featuring analysis from intelligence experts and on-the-ground reporting, this video breaks down the internal and external pressures fracturing the Ayatollah’s grip on power. With the economy in ruins, thousands dead, and the Supreme Leader admitting to the heavy toll of the conflict, the question remains: Can the regime survive its darkest hour, or is the revolution finally here?
