Fallout from the killing of General Soleimani

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

So, protests in Iran are in their second day and the Iranian Government briefly arrested the British Ambassador - before realising that was not a good idea and letting him go.

The fact that it was the Revolutionary Guard rather than the regular military that launched the missile has hurt their moral credibility and moral standing, after the various acts of repression over the last few years this incident seems to have caused things to boil over. Hardly likely to by "the end of the revolution" but it could see the balance of power shift from the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard to the democratically elected government and regular military.

This won't make Iranians like the West any better, of course.
