The only way we’ll see a change is if the mullahs are overthrow.
The only way the mullahs will be overthrown is with an internal uprising (with huge covert help from “the west”)

(we’ve seen this movie before)

I don’t think the mullahs will last much longer. Looking back at the Arab spring the real driving force is the global economy and food prices. People get pissed at the failures of their authoritarian governments and throw them out. The situation with the economy and food prices isn’t getting any better and hopefully the economic sanctions will push them over the edge soon. There aren’t many open signs of unrest these days but I’m sure the situation is still simmering.
