Iran's clerical rulers are likely to survive protests sweeping the country and could stay in power for years, the chief analyst for Israeli military intelligence said on Monday, prompting his commander to predict the enemy regime would eventually fall.
Locked in a Cold War-style conflict with Iran, Israel has closely monitored the unusually protracted and violent unrest and offered some statements of support for the protesters.
"The repressive Iranian regime will, it seems, manage to survive these protests," Brigadier-General Amit Saar, who as head of research for Israel's military intelligence is responsible for national strategic forecasts, said in a speech. "It has constructed very, very strong tools for dealing with such protests," he told the first public conference by the Gazit Institute, a think-tank that operates under his corps.
Addressing the forum later, military intelligence commander Major-General Aharon Haliva recapped Saar's remarks but added: "Seen long-term, it would appear this regime will not survive."
