Regime change may be inevitable for Iran

Iranian security officials have all but stated it publicly. They murder civilian protestors. Yet they want the world to believe they are rational, reasonable, and respectful of human dignity. Because the Ayatollah tweets from his X handle. The regime is not sustainable.

Autocrats are automatic guarantors of their failure to maintain power because of their nature. Their disrespect for human life and desire for the sensation and perception of power. The attributes that get them there block them from the fantasy they cast.

Iran is no different. The circumstances that drove Iran to its current regime are shameful. The documentary, Coup 53, is tough to watch. But the dividends that betrayal bestowed on the regime today have worn thin. They are left with their evil deeds toward their peoples - acts of war and cruelty to US and coalition troops abroad through the traumatizing EFP invention of violence. And baffling failures to assassinate and murder individuals around the world. Iran has been the Middle East boogeyman for many decades, and their power through proxy and surrogates grew over time. They were a well-oiled paramilitary machine.

But, as a military. They are weak. As a government, they are weak. A strong government doesn't murder its citizens in protests. A regime where security forces are so depraved, so evil, they molest and murder teenage girls protesting their oppressive regime. What makes America great is its courage to stand up to oppression, to exemplify moral courage, and protect human rights. To free the oppressed, the US Army's Green Berets' motto is America-first. America is first in the world and, through its leadership, secures and enables its interests and protects its economy as the ultimate mediator of justice and safe haven for trade.

Iran's not a nuisance. But a cancer. It is in a pact of autocratic regimes that rule with a sword, not a pen & handshake. Without citing data, current geopolitics, and the regime's behavior towards its people, death toll exacted on US military service members, and a consistent march toward a nuclear weapon, leaves an unavoidable confrontation with an outcome: regime change.

For no other reason than the overreach towards a nuclear weapon. But their depravity toward their people, who cyclically attempt revolution through protests that lead to more violence and oppression, is enough to warrant an international intervention for respect for the human condition.
