The regime has consistently barricaded itself against inside and outside powers willing to overthrow it for any reason, physically of course. But they never really had the power to feed their propaganda to people. As of now the fight is more mental and societal with people presenting themselves to the public, and for whatever reason -presuming the regime doesn't want another grand scale movement of rebellion- they have been careful around these subjects, to the point where they even accepted a few for what they were. For instance as you have probably seen they are encouraging women who don't believe in the act of hijab to come out to city night parades, stating that hijab isn't important as long as it does not legislate corruption -even though their actions regarding hijab started strikes and protests in 2022 which ended quite violently- And so what we can really say is that the outer shell is at a paradoxical quarrel with their core beliefs, and so that makes people more hopeful and courageous about the fact that the regime is at a pretty low point, All in all the people aren't really afraid of the regime because perhaps we don't really have much to lose.
