A couple of points, and thanks to everyone for such good comments and good decorum:
1. I don’t think even hyperinflation would produce a revolution all by itself; most modern revolutions have needed outside support, and there is still none for a democratic revolution in Iran;
2. Yes, some of the mullahs are undoubtedly afraid of an American attack, but on the other hand they so often act as if that’s exactly what they want, that it’s hard to untie all the complicated little knots. Nothing new there; Persians are so tricky they even fool themselves…
