#1 Baluchistan is one palce that woudl spliut off if the central governmetn collapses.

The ara Guflf area around Hormuz is another.

The Kurdish north woudl spilt yet more of NW Iran away, and the Caspian N would be drawn to Azerbaijan.

Some of the Sunni NE would be drawn into tribal Afghanistan.

Iran is no more a monolith than is Iraq. And without the Shia mullahs and thier goons to held things at bay, Iran would be consiberably smaller in a very short time.

I'm sure the Tusk woudl "step and and help" to take over old territory jsut to keep the Kurds and some Armenian offshots quiet.
