"Contracts a hundred times worse than Turkmenchay." Read that twice.
Could Iran's islands be taken?
Unlikely — and here's the strategic reason: no government would hand the Islamic Republic that gift. Separating the islands would push millions of Iranians who oppose the regime into defending Iran's territorial integrity — which in practice becomes defending the regime itself.
The harder truth:
The Islamic Republic has never shown real zeal for Iran's land or wealth.
▪️ Iran's share of the Caspian Sea
▪️ The Arash field
▪️ Shared fields with Saudi Arabia and Qatar
▪️ The Chalous field in the north
It conceded everywhere. Yet the islands remain the one file it can use to inflame national sentiment when survival demands it.
Knowing the difference between defending Iran and defending a regime is everything.
Tell us in the comments: if the islands become a real crisis, what do Iranians rally behind?
