完全依賴武力的政權，或許能維持一段時間，但

it really does change the nature of their relationship with the population that they govern.

這確實會改變他們與所統治人口的關係性質。

The more people you kill, the more resentment there is.

Some estimates put that death toll possibly in the tens of thousands.

有些估計死亡人數可能高達數萬人。

The other thing that makes these protests different is that they had initially an economic trigger, but

讓這些抗議活動與眾不同的另一點是，它們最初是由經濟因素引發，但

There's a real sense of hopelessness in Iran right now.

現在的伊朗，真的讓人感到很絕望。

This time, people had simply had enough and they wanted the regime gone.

It's facing a US president unlike any US president that it's had to face in its 47 year.

Talks are ongoing, but there's little doubt that the government has been weakened.

談判仍在進行中，但毫無疑問，政府已經被削弱了。

These protests will keep coming up and the regime will keep having to put them down by force.

這些抗議活動會不斷出現，而這個政權也將持續被迫以武力鎮壓。

And at some point, you may see an end to the republic as we know it.

總有一天，我們可能會看到這個共和國走向終結。

So how did Iran get here and what comes next for its leaders and the millions of Iranians hoping for change?

At the head of the theocracy, you have the Supreme Leader.

在這個神權政治的頂端，有最高領袖。

You actually have quite a lot of debate within the Islamic Republic between the different political factions.

They have a great many problems, from the political to the serious economic issues that they face.

他們面臨著許多問題，從政治到嚴重的經濟問題。

The economy has been in a bad way for a long time.

There have been sanctions and policies that have caused inflation for many years.

多年來，制裁和政策導致了通貨膨脹。

For more than four decades, Iran's standoff with the west has meant heavy sanctions on almost every aspect of its economy.

四十多年來，伊朗與西方的對峙意味著其幾乎所有經濟面向都面臨嚴厲的制裁。

Double digit inflation in Iran is not unusual.

It's been a kind of chronic hallmark of the economy for some time.

這已經是經濟長期以來的一種慢性標誌。

The real is compounding inflationary pressures.

裡亞爾加劇了通貨膨脹的壓力。

The ongoing disparity came to a head in December 2025 when one US dollar became worth almost 1.5 million rials.

這種持續的差距在2025年12月達到頂點，當時一美元的價值接近150萬裡亞爾。

That's devastated the spending power of ordinary Iranians.

這嚴重摧毀了普通伊朗人的購買力。

The rial has declined in value more than 98% since 2018.

自2018年以來，裡亞爾的價值已經下跌超過98%。

All of these oil producing countries look closely at the extent to which oil is able to cover their budget allocations.

所有這些產油國都會密切關注石油能夠覆蓋他們預算分配的程度。

There is already a problem with cheap oil in the market that often drives concerns about budget deficits.

市場上已經存在廉價石油的問題，這經常引起對預算赤字的擔憂。

And Iran has that problem with or without sanctions, because under sanctions, it can still sell oil, and

伊朗無論有沒有制裁都有這個問題，因為在制裁下，它仍然可以賣石油，而且

Sanctions were reimposed in 2018 during Trump's first term, and contributed to a sharp drop in exports.

制裁是在川普第一任期內的2018年重新實施的，並導致出口急劇下降。

When Joe Biden became president, however, enforcement eased and flows boomed again, with much of it moving to China via a fleet of shadow tankos.

不過，當喬·拜登就任總統後，執法力道放寬，油市又開始蓬勃發展，其中大部分透過一支「影子油輪船隊」運往中國。

But this hasn't necessarily meant more cash for the Iranian economy, because sanctions have such a chilling effect.

但這不一定代表伊朗經濟能獲得更多現金，因為制裁的寒蟬效應非常強大。

By discounting oil significantly, it can kind of incentivise or encourage buyers.

While the Iranian government blames much of this on Western sanctions, analysts contend corruption and mismanagement have played a role as well.

雖然伊朗政府將大部分原因歸咎於西方的制裁，但分析師認為貪腐和管理不善也扮演了角色。

The existence of sanctions has meant that some major economic players inside Iran, including the irgc, have benefited from them.

制裁的存在意味著，包括伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊在內的一些伊朗國內主要經濟參與者從中獲益。

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a branch of the armed forces, has filled the gap left by failed companies or foreign ones that have exited the country.

伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊是武裝部隊的一個分支，填補了失敗的國內企業或已撤離的外國企業留下的市場空缺。

Sanctions create the opportunity through smuggling, through scarcity, and they create the opportunity for corruption.

制裁透過走私、透過稀缺性創造了機會，也為貪腐創造了機會。

Allies linked to the Supreme Leader and the IRGC have amassed an investment empire far beyond the borders of the Islamic Republic.

與最高領袖和伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊有關的盟友，已經在伊朗伊斯蘭共和國國境之外建立了一個龐大的投資帝國。

The IRGC receives kickbacks on a lot of deals that are going on.

So the ecological problems that Iran faces right now are acute, they are severe, and

所以伊朗目前面臨的生態問題非常急迫、非常嚴重，而且

they've already started to impact industry and the economy.

On top of this, there is international pressure.

幾分鐘前，以色列發動了「旭日雄獅行動」。

Israel, having long feared a nuclear armed Iran, struck several facilities believed to be enriching uranium.

以色列長期以來一直擔心伊朗擁有核武，是以攻擊了數個據信正在濃縮鈾的設施。

Israel targeted the nuclear program, but it also targeted civilian population centers, including Tehran.

以色列的目標是核計畫，但也同時攻擊了包括德黑蘭在內的平民區。

So it affected a big chunk of the Iranian population.

所以這影響了很大一部分伊朗人口。

Up until recently, the nuclear program did have broad support.

it thought that it would weaken Israel, would strengthen the position of Iran.

它認為這會削弱以色列，會鞏固伊朗的地位。

While there's no evidence to suggest that Tehran helped plan the attack, the regime framed it as a gain for its allies.

雖然沒有證據顯示德黑蘭協助策劃了這次襲擊，但伊朗政權將其描繪成盟友的勝利。

The axis of resistance, a coalition of states and militant groups intent on countering Israeli and US influence in the region, is now shattered.

Hezbollah in Lebanon has been decapitated.

And in Syria, President Assad was toppled by a Sunni power which is very much opposed to Iran.

Iran is a competitor for most of the Gulf Arab states, not an economic competitor, but

伊朗對大多數海灣阿拉伯國家來說是個競爭對手，不是經濟上的競爭對手，而是

politically, ideologically, for influence.
