US and Israeli involvement in fueling protests in Iran is a strategy to foment regime change in that country.

“Could it be that they're trying to spark regime change in Iran? Could it be?”

He believes that American-led regime change operations consistently fail because they ignore local realities and lead to increased instability.

“How does this whole process happen that you go into this process of regime change and keep installing people that are creating more and more uh instability and destruction in the world and then you use that to then justify invading and starting wars.”

The strike on Iran is part of a broader, pre-planned agenda to achieve regime change in Iran under the guise of preventing nuclear proliferation.

“This is not about a nuclear weapon. This is about a regime change war.”

Ben Rhodes argues that the U.S. intervention in Venezuela sets a dangerous precedent for ruleless geopolitics and illegal military actions.

“But in any case, you just don't want to open up this Pandora's box of kind of returning to imperial rule ruleless geopolitics.”

Encouraging citizens to rise up against an authoritarian regime is dangerous because it often leads to their slaughter without achieving a positive political outcome.

“I'm worried that the administration and others have called for people to rise up only for them to be killed for nothing.”

A change of regime in Iran is a necessary prerequisite to achieving a better future that serves the interests of all parties.

“But we have to first understand that change of regime in Iran is a prerequisite to a better future that is in everyone's interest.”

The objective of the current military action should be regime change in Iran because the Iranian government's nuclear and terrorist threats are policies that will never be changed.

“The reason for this action is that Iran's nuclear threat and its terrorist threat are policies the regime will never change. In other words, their behavior is not going to change. And therefore, for the interest of US national security and Israeli national security, the only alternative is regime ch”

The current Iranian regime must be removed for the sake of regional peace and stability.

“I will feel more peaceful if that chaotic regime doesn't exist where they look at us as the enemy and the Western, you know, ideology as enemy and I think tourism back to the Middle East will increase in ways we've never seen before if that regime is no longer there.”

A change of government in Iran would be beneficial for the country and the region.

“The interest is not necessarily in regime change, although I for one would welcome it. Who can argue that Iran would not be better off than under the mullas?”

A regime change in Iran would be beneficial for the world, but it should ideally be achieved by the Iranian people revolting from within.

“the world would definitely be a better place without this regime in place because it's you know massively destabilized the Middle East and Iran could be a great place if this regime gets taken down. Then the other camp of people are saying like oh this is terrible because the US is going to get drag”
