What is the appropriate way to change a political structure? This is one of the biggest points of disagreement among critics of the government. Some opponents of the current regime in Iran believe that the country's best interest lies in gradually changing the political structure through the ballot box, relying on civil society and existing mechanisms under the Islamic Republic of Iran. Others, however, believe that the time for reforms has ended, arguing that testing the tested is a mistake, and the only way forward is to strive for the overthrow of the established government through various means, including civil disobedience and street movements.
