For what? So that they can try to force Israeli people to leave the region? So that they can nuke anyone they want in the region? So that they can threaten anyone in their region? Sorry. The only reason they want such power is to dictate their terms to other countries in the region. And, that idea is shared by not only the old ones but also the young ones too. I have met many of those so-called reformists studying in US. In essence, they are pretty much similar.

It's one of the very few Shiite states, and Sunni states have a deep distrust of Iran.

Rightfully so. They use terror to create turmoil in such states, and they fund terrorists activities in other states. They send their agents to other countries to kill people voicing opinions opposing their ideals, especially if they have some connections in those countries. They try to imitate the US of the cold war era in that region but they suck at it.

Its non-oil economy is suffering, and yeah, things have reached a tipping point. In history, you don't piss off young people, especially if there're lots of them. Do that, and things will hit the fan.

The problem is there are young people on both sides. If those young people trigger the other youth to voice their opinion too, as to create a more radical regime, then it will become a killing each other play. And, in those games, it is usually the side that looks toward the bad side wins, meaning the people supporting the current government. We know from 30 years ago that they are a pretty much capable nation when it comes to killing its own people in batches.
