Story Summary
SITUATION
Iranian-Americans want regime gone — aside from a few gun-running social media mavens The Trump administration has been cracking down on a handful of Iranian residents who have ties to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and have even allegedly been involved in gun-running while living lavish lifestyles in LA. That may leave the impression that this community might not support attempts to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

KEY FACTS
- A survey done recently by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans found that barely 3% of Iranian-Americans favor the current regime, while an additional 8% would welcome a reformed Islamic Republic.
- Among regime opponents, 11% would like to see a constitutional monarchy, while 55% would like a parliamentary democracy.
- To be sure, some pro-regime Iranian “nepo babies” live here, and have done so with an abandon that would get them whipped or worse back in the home country.
