The ailing leaders of Iran’s Islamic Republic are holding the reins of a “dying horse” according to brave opponents inside the battle-scarred state.

And GB News can reveal that confidence is growing among dissidents that the evil empire led by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is "taking its last breath".

The hopeful message, after weeks of bombing by US and Israeli forces, came in a secret video made by a brave Iranian desperate for his country to be freed from the government’s control.

The man, a 41-year-old from southern Iran whose identity we have hidden to keep him safe from reprisals, told GB News: “They are already failing. They are taking their last breath.

"No countries should place a bet on a dying horse, and I don’t see any country showing alliance to a dying regime in Iran therefore we are not worried about the war expanding.

“We have faith in Americans and Israel however we are very sad for all of our surrounding countries that are pulled into this conflict.”

The man has risked his life to breach the near total internet blackout in Iran - with the cruel secret police and Islamic Republic Guard Corps clamping down on any dissent.

He told us: “They have sent SMS messages to every single person‘s phone to let us know that Internet and connecting to the Internet is a crime our liberties are limited.

"I want the world to know - especially the Britons - that we have no freedom if this regime continues to stay alive. We would be even worse than North Korea.

"We know that this regime is using us as human shields."

While he waits for Donald Trump’s US and Israel to “finish the job,” the dissident described what had happened inside Iran since war broke out.

He said: “After the elimination of Ali Khamenei and the appointment of his son as the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic and its Revolutionary Guard chaos broke out.

“The entirety of this regime was shaken, and nothing can restore it."

No other person within that regime has the capability and therefore currently the IRGC the Islamic revolutionary guard Corp is currently at its weakest point.”

With everyday life increasingly difficult as war rages, he admitted the people of Iran were already used to hardship after 47 years of cruel rule after the Islamic revolution of 1979.

He said: "I must say that unfortunately war has its own trauma and stress and people are facing that pain, however for the past 47 years Iranian people have struggled much worse on the regime.”

Despite all their struggles he does believe the country can recover after the war - as long as the current regime is completely wiped out and those who have previously managed to flee to safety go back home.

He also backed the installation of the last Shah of Iran’s son - exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to lead the country into a new, prosperous future.

He said: “We really hope that Iranians outside of Iran will do their best to create a path with the Americans and the Europeans along with Israel to create a bridge for a political path for a free Iran on the leadership of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as he has already pointed out in his 10 point plan.

"We have a future that is looking bright.”
