The Regime in Iran is ready to fall. If we had a CIA that was good as we deserve, they would have been able to help the anti government protesters and maybe get rid of the nut job in chief there.
The People of Iran dont want the current regime, but might rally behind it if attacked. The Germans thought the Russian people would welcome them, not realizing the people werent fighting for Stalin but for thier homes. A revolution would be better but most likey not in the cards.
They would certainly rally behind.
Iran is the most pro-western country in the middle east, by far.
And if Iran had nukes and was dumb enough to use them, it is way more likely that they would use them against Saudi Arabia or Iraq than any other country over there.
Any other countries whining and moaning to the contrary.
