The Islamic Revolution has survived a brutal war with Iraq, economic sanctions, and decades of international pressure and isolation from the US. Moreover, Iran’s leaders remember that the Shah was forced to flee the country in 1979, despite having strong international support.
国内的压力可能足以使政权垮台，但国际的压力则不会。历史站在伊朗政府一边。伊斯兰革命经历了与伊拉克的残酷战争、经济制裁、数十年的国际压力和美国的孤立而仍然继续。另外，伊朗的领导人们还记得尽管有着强大的国际支持，伊朗国王还是被迫在1979年逃亡国外。
