According to this report, Iran's theocracy is on the brink of failure:

For some reason, just about ALL Muslim states (theocratic or otherwise) have failed. And for the most part, it's the so-called Judeo-Christian world which has been responsible for their failure.
Now the Christian version of theocracy (the Kingdom of G-d) is on the brink of failure. From my perspective, it appears that Israel has been instrumental in its imminent demise.
So, does that leave Israel as the only "successful" theocratic state? Perhaps, but only if you believe that the nation-state of Israel has anything to do with G-d. I don't see anything particularly godlike in what they are doing, but we'll find out for certain after they rebuild the temple.
If the Shekinah returns to the rebuilt temple, we'll know Israel is the one and only true theocracy. If she doesn't, we'll know the Israeli version of theocracy is just another scam.
And where would THAT leave us?
Here is a narrative on how Israel is chasing Christians out of Bethlehem:
