I guess the downside on Trump is his destroying the bulk of their Nuke program this summer. I?m sure the regime would have been real responsible with those right about now
The Iranian regime may, as you suggest, be overseeing a failed country. As with all dictatorships however, only when tens of thousands, millions perhaps, have suffered and died will those at the top of the tree pay the price of their failure.

Iran has, and had, no effective delivery mechanism capable of striking any credible target (Israel being the only real target and they have both the defensive capability to combat an Iranian attack and most certainly the offensive capacity to erase most of Iran should they choose).

Much more likely, and we see the evidence in the increasing body count of protesters, is a new, more vicious crack-down by the regime, it's what they have done on every occasion when opposition puts it's head above the parapet. Unfortunately on this occasion we had Trump, who for reasons tied almost entirely to his over-inflated ego, chose to make boasts of action to support the protestors he is either unable or unwilling to make good on, apparently uncaring of fate of.those who were encouraged by his bluster. They paid the price, theirs is the downside.
