Rand (the strategic think tank) have four scenarios for the immediate domestic political future of Iran:

1. The (remaining) leadership 'dig in' resulting in a continuation of domestic repression;

2. The leadership 'cut & run' leaving a power vacuum;

3. The Revolutionary Guard step up & impose a military Junta of some sort;

4. A popular uprising asserting a new Iranian political settlement.

These are, of course, not mutually exclusive!
