The only way you can overthrow the existing regime is to get the Iranian armed forces to turn on the mullahs. In 1953, that is how the pro-Soviet regime of Mossadegh was overthrown. We can destroy the country's military capacity, a lot of the infrastructure, and perhaps a few leaders, but real regime change must come from the military, not from rioting civilians. Remember how ruthlessly the Soviets crushed Eastern European uprisings and the Red Chinese the student protests of 1989. Militant Islam is as authoritarian as Marxism-Leninism.

You keep saying that, but I suggest it is better to trust Trump than your opinion.
So far, he is spot on.
Toppling the mullahs is a big deal. Have a little faith.
