Iran boosts budget for missiles, Revolutionary Guards

I think it would be probably in par with turkey minus the dictatorship. Obviously an Iranian leader. Russia would stay neutral.

Russia isn't going to be happy about losing a possible friend / ally, especially if they become Pro-US.

I think things are starting to change between trump and putin so that sort of thing doesn't happen.

Lets see, Syrian conflict isn't exactly the situation that makes them best friends but they are on better terms compared to former presidents.

Iran's been through a lot of shit. Sad to see it end this way. Our people might of been stupid, but they don't deserve any of this. We've been united for a long time with a rich beautiful culture; this is what I've least expected for Iran up until this point.

If they play it smart they might get away with it, but Trump is not one to mess with. You saw what he did to Syria? Even without legitimate proof that the Syrian Air Force actually bombed the Rebels with chemical bombs, he still chose to fucking fire missiles at the SAA.

I thought that was stupid of him and pissed me the fuck off. Though, if something like that does happen to Iran, this time, Russia and china won't be just watching.

If he can do that to Syria, he can do that to Iran and North Korea too, this man doesn't give a shit about others than himself and his country.

Thats true. The army is nowhere capable of handling either the Americans or Russians for a prolonged time, the Pahlavi army however was one of the worlds largest and we could argue that they could be capable of a lot more than the current government.

But otherwise you're right, Iran should rebuild the progress they lost because of the revolution and that fucker Khomeini. But there is one problem; If the current government is removed, will they go back to being pro-American? I am not sure Russia is too happy about that change too because then the U.S are going to become quite powerful.

It's hard to say where Iran would end up were the current regime to be overthrown. It is likely that the US would want the replacement regime to be very weak as in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Genuine democracy would not be allowed to flourish, at least not in key areas that are likely to conflict with imperial interests. It may not be possible to quickly rebuild any kind of social and economic progress from the Shah's era if the country has to be rebuilt due to bombing. Russia is not really interested in a strong Iran, although the Russians would publicly deny it.
