Former President Mohammad Khatami (photo) has said on his Telegram channel that the continuing public protests will explode if the regime insists on making the same mistakes over and over again. He said the Reformist movement’s demands are limited to reforms within the system of rule, and no one is calling for the system to be changed. “If the public is convinced that the Reformists cannot do anything, the street will stand behind those who wish to change the regime itself.,” he said. He added, “If the regime insists on its mistakes, criticism will turn into protests—and it is not clear what will happen to the country after that.”
