I saw this coming. But I didn’t know if it was going to be Zoroastrian (a return) or Christianity. I hoped for the latter. Christianity is a protected minority religion in Iran. I believe Islam will go and Christianity will flourish in Iran. The future government will likely reach out for help in dealing with their water shortage, electricity shortage, and fuel shortage.
Interesting you mentioned the magi. If you go back about 600 yrs before the birth of Christ, there was the Babylonians who took over Jerusalem. There they plundered the gold and fashioned many things from them. Also there were some amazing people God had placed there. One was Daniel. Also Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Just in these two events, the lions den and the firey furnace, many started to believe the living God and to be all true. And started to worship God. Daniel himself taught these “magi” and educated men God’s word till the end of his days, and they believed. Now fast forward 600 yrs later. These magi, knew of the coming messiah. With information passed down generation after generation. They traveled hundred of miles. Can you imagine their excitement? And, one of the gifts of gold. To me that represents the gold that was stolen from Jerusalem, and they were returning it to the King. These magi were believers of God. Descendants of believers. And knew the signs. And worshipped Christ. God even visited them in a dream and told them afterwards to go home, and not seek Herod’s attention. Just amazing stuff.
The future gubmint? The son of the shah who was thrown out in 1979? There are calls for him to return, but these calls seem to originate from the usual European blob suspects. I do hope the Iranians are not daft enough to fall for that and get the gubmint they need, not one NATO and other wankpuffins want for them.

I think they have fuel. Maybe it will required technical assistance.
I am guessing refinery capacity and maintenance.
Are you certain the religions of GOOD vs EVIL are not the same but known by different names in different periods ?
Who were the Magi from the east ?

People, mostly outside Iran, talk about bringing back the son of the Shah. But I don’t think the Iranians are going to go down that path.
