It doesn't have any chance of coming from within unless the people over there do it via a bloody revolution. The mullahs will never give up control. They have no problem with killing their own people to keep power.

There should most definitely be help from the outside but when it comes down to it, the Iranian people are going to have to do it themselves. That means some will die because the mullahs will only be removed by force.
