[53 minutes] ...Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi of Iran is putting careful plans in place for when the Islamic Regime finally falls. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, he spoke about the possibility of Iran joining the Abraham Accords in the event of a successful overthrow of the regime. Leading up to his visit in April 2023, he spoke warmly about possible relations with Israel in the future, saying, “Millions of my compatriots still remember living alongside their Jewish-Iranian friends and neighbors, before the Islamic Revolution tore the fabric of our society apart. They reject the regime's murderous anti-Israel and antisemitic policies and long for cultural, scientific and economic exchanges with Israel. A democratic Iran will seek to renew its ties with Israel and our Arab neighbors. In my opinion, that day is closer than ever." Now it’s looking like Pahlavi might have been right. Much has happened since his visit, most significantly the attack on Oct. 7, 2023 and the subsequent multi-front war with Iran’s proxies surrounding Israel. However, the people of Iran are protesting the regime en masse, sick of the country’s wealth being blown on terrorism instead of being invested in the people themselves. “Right now, the regime is in disarray. There’s more and more fragmentation. We are witnessing more and more defections. Plus, it’s a dismal situation economically. Our currency is at its worst level. It’s at a point where people are just exploding,” Pahlavi said. More than a dire economic crisis, the country is running out of water, presenting a serious emergency. “They are even suggesting that they should move the capital from Tehran to somewhere else because there is no water. People are now saying, look, we need to take our country back before it’s too late. This is the strongest and most widespread movement we’ve seen – in over 100 cities, over 20 provinces. This is unprecedented, a golden opportunity not to miss,” he insisted...."

Japan, Italy, South Korea, Spain, Germany, and much of the English-speaking West are now well below replacement level with some countries facing outright demographic contraction. Governments continue trying to fight it with financial incentives, extended parental leave, and subsidised childcare, but the numbers keep falling. There is only one remaining country that completely unsettles the narrative: Israel. It’s wealthy, highly educated, technologically advanced, and yet its fertility rate remains robustly above replacement. Israel is not just an outlier, but a total contradiction. And that contradiction raises an uncomfortable question for the West: what if declining birth rates are not actually an economic problem but a cultural one – and one that the West itself created? According to OECD data, Israel’s total fertility rate (TFR) sits at 2.9 births per woman, far above the 2.1 replacement level and dramatically higher than any other developed economy. One of the clearest differences between Israel and the rest of the developed world is religiosity. Contrary to Europe and parts of Asia where rapid secularisation has drastically dwindled participation in faith, Israel remains openly and structurally religious – not just among the ultra-Orthodox Jews, but across society as a whole. In contrast, much of the West has systematically stripped religion from public life, cultural narratives, and education – and replaced it with careerism, individualism, and consumption. And we’re now seeing the results. Demographers often describe a “national project” mentality [in Israel]: a shared sense that family, continuity, and population growth are all tied to success and survival. ...it means children are framed as participation in something greater than the self. That framing is almost entirely absent in Western societies that have redefined meaning around personal fulfilment alone. https://expose-news.com/2026/01/13/israel-only-developed-country-without-declining-population/
