Iran could soon witness winds of change as the Islamic Republic is facing collapse, a report claimed, further cautioning of a danger of civil war in the country.

A UK-based Henry Jackson Society claimed in its report this week that the Islamic Republic was collapsing, the New York Post reported.

The United Nations has accused Tehran of executing around 900 people this year as a “tool of intimidation".

“If the Islamic Republic falls, there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war," the findings of the report said, according to NYP.

“This is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs for the Iranian people, and every step must therefore be made to ensure that any transition is quick and painless," the report added.

The existing Iranian region of Ali Hosseini Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the country, “remains wedded to the Iranian revolution", according to the report.

The report claimed that the Ayatollah’s regime is firm on reconstituting its nuclear programme, which was largely destroyed in Israeli and American strikes on its nuclear sites during the 12-day war between June 13 to June 24 this year.

Iran also struck back at Israel and the American military bases in Qatar and Iraq. Targets included the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar (the largest US base in the region) and the Ain al-Asad base in western Iraq.

The regime is also committed to “exporting terrorism both regionally and internationally makes it an ongoing danger to the West", NYP quoted the report as saying.

The Israeli and American air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities “set back the regime", but it has not eliminated the “strategic and security threats posed by the regime", the report said.
