But it seems this is not working out anymore.

Yup. The jig may finally be up. In shooting down those two bills the GC didn't give the "reformers" so much as a fig leaf to cover themselves politically. Imo the massive no-show of the Iranian people during the latest election is a pretty ominous development for both the "reformers" and the hardliners. The lull before the storm? TWT.

I wonder if an uprising is in the cards. I sure hope so

If it's a big one, sooner it happens, the better.

I haven't been able to get a read on where the Iranian military sit in this. Are they willing to shoot their own citizens in large numbers? Are they willing to shoot the para-military religious enforcers?
