There are some schools of thought that Iran is already in a low-level civil war, as its minorities - and there are many - chafe under the domination of the Shiite mullahs. I would suspect there will be intense pressures brought to bear on the theocrats now running the place, not merely from the non-Persian non-Shia, but also from many in the majority who regard themselves as too proud an ancient civilization to be under the thumb of medieval theocrats.
The next five years are critical.
