Before I start let me just say the Iranian regime was an evil regime. They had machine guns on top of buildings shooting at the protesters and aiming at their genetals!I would hope for regime change but for the better. The world is not a better place with the killing of the Supreme leader as yet because we do not know who will succeed him Let us remember they tore up the succession plans when the previous leader dies so we do not know but the odds are the successor will be as bad or perhaps worse
Okay some people writing:
- Amin Saikal
- Shannon Brincat and Juan Caceres
- Javed Ali
- Rodger Shanahan
- Fred Kaplan
- Robert Pape
- Zack Beauchamp
The reasons for this clearly illegal action is muddled. Apparently the obliterated nuclear program is running reasonably strongly. This is very unlikely. Even if they has nukes if they used them Iran would become a nuclear pancake!
Both The USa and Israel want Iran to eliminate their long range missiles ( which can reach Israel but no the USA.
The last case is possibly closer to the truth in wanting regime change. BUT even though this is the most logical reason for the act of war neither the USA nor Israel has a clue on how to do this. Killing people and blowing up buildings does not help in changing a regime.
The world wants a regime where the Iranian people have the democratic choice to vote in governments. They do not want a regime that is worse!
In a sense what is the difference between Trump wanting to change the regime in Iran illegally and Putin wanting to do the same in Ukraine
