A Westernized Iran, with ALL elements of the Islamist regime removed permanently, would be a helluva good thing for the whole world.
Oil, peace, prosperity, etc. I’m sure the Saudis would love to help, as would the Israelis.
It would also hurt North Korea, as well as Venezuela, who are big trade partners with the Islamist regime in Iran.
At what point does Trump step in and support this change, and to what extent? It would have to be swift, decisive, far-reaching, and permanent.
A Westernized Iran would help in westernizing Saudi Arabia. The current crown prince wants that to happen but must tread gingerly along that path for obvious reasons. A changed Iran would give him more internal leverage.
Unfortunately, the pain has not reached the proper boiling point yet. The survivors of this catastrophe must emerge resolved to utterly erase every molecule of the Islamist regime.
The Saudis, like all Arabs, fear and distrust Iranians. They have done so for centuries.
They remember that they were dominated by the Achaemenid, Parthia and Sassanid Iranian empires for nearly 1200 years and the Abbasids were Iranian.
The Arabs, Iranians and Turkic people’s all distrust and dislike each other
You do not know what you do not know..A safe bet would be that the CIA is actively and covertly supporting the uprising.
It is also a safe bet that the Saudi and UAE covert operations are also involved. Mossad is also likely involved.
