The people did not directly force Nixon to resign. It was the
politicians in Congress that forced Nixon to resign.
Iran is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and a lot of
people, even hardliners, are sick of this. The Assembly of Experts
could exercise its oversight role and force some change on the Supreme
Leader.
Khamenei is old, and rumored to be ill, though that's denied. If he's
replaced by a Reformist, there could be significant change with no
crisis war. The Shah's son could be brought back in some form. There
will be some violence that will fizzle like the Tobacco Revolt or
White Revolution protests, but not a full scale war like the Islamic
Revolution or the Constitutional Revolution.
