There are signs of a system collapse.

German-Iranian journalist Michael Abdollahi predicted the possible end of the Iranian regime with the accuracy of a day in a program, writes Bild.

"According to the Iranian calendar, the last Tuesday before the end of the year [in the Muslim calendar] is the Tuesday of next week - it's kind of like New Year's Eve, there's jumping over fire and people are celebrating. It's a day that in Iran has always led to riots.

The firecrackers are being shot and young people are in the streets. It could be that if people take to the streets on this day to also vent their anger, something will happen."

"The end of the fasting month of Ramadan this year falls on a very unique combination - almost the same day as the New Year's Eve holiday [next Wednesday]. But the stores are closed, nobody wants to buy anything, nobody wants to go out. Because many families are mourning the dead, the massacres of January 8 and 9 are still very fresh in their minds. They are not celebrating now.

This is what I am told: we are just waiting to be told to take to the streets again, to free ourselves from this system. We want to breathe. We want to live," Abdollahi continues.

The main signs of an impending coup in Iran, according to the expert, are the first cracks in the system:

"State television is stunned. Meanwhile, in the streets, drone strikes are being launched against Basij militias at their checkpoints. And if the money stops flowing, the ordinary Basij militias (one of the IRGC's units) and the Revolutionary Guard Corps will simply have no food."

From Iran, Abdollahi said, there are reports that some of the military are no longer reporting for duty and are deserting. "I don't get the feeling that all this is happening chaotically. Rather, we are in the midst of a historic change. It seems as if the Iranian population wants to prepare for the day of X."
