re: Regime change how is that possible without boots on the ground

I thought we hated CIA coups?

You know like the one in Ukraine.

It’s highly unlikely that meaningful political change could happen in Iran under the current conditions. The leadership, particularly the Supreme Leader and the clerical establishment, maintains an iron grip on the country. The military—especially the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—is deeply loyal to the regime and acts as both an enforcer and a power base. Meanwhile, the media is tightly controlled, and online discourse is heavily monitored, with dissent quickly suppressed.

Over the past decade, the government has systematically dismantled or absorbed any oppositional political movements, civil society groups, or reformist factions that could pose a challenge. Any attempts at organizing dissent—whether through protests, political activism, or online campaigns—have been met with arrests, censorship, or worse.

If the Ayatollah were to die or step down, power wouldn’t automatically shift to the people. More likely, the IRGC and hardline clerics would consolidate control, potentially ushering in a military-theocratic regime that’s even less tolerant of dissent. In short, the current structure is designed to ensure continuity of control, not democratic transition.

Did you want Obama to send troops in 2012?

The CIA doesn’t need to do anything.

Of course not, but we should have given material aid and support. Of course, Obama was closer to the Mullahs ideologically than to Israel and the United States.

Then let Israel execute a regime change with THEIR boots on the ground.

I think both sides of the aisle would agree with this.

The Iranian people want a regime change. That’s how. The regime crushed the last uprising because Biden refused to do anything at all to assist. A few more targeted air raids and the people will change the regime.

Or unify with the current regime. We don't know how this plays out. But a common enemy is a unifying force even with unpopular regimes. There are countless recent examples including here in the United States and in Israel to point to.

When we committed acts of war and then the president told them they had to unconditionally surrender.

We did not commit acts of war.

Or are you trying to point out that yet another government official has abused the use of the word "emergency" to bypass the US Constitution since only congress can declare war?

When did we declare war?

So you’re admitting you know this is a false flag? For what purpose
