Part 6/8:
A provocative idea discussed is the notion that long-term stability in the region depends on regime change in Iran. The speaker suggests that as long as the current Iranian leadership—including the Mullahs and the IRGC—remains in power, peace remains elusive.
The Iranian regime's policies—support for proxies, weapon proliferation, and regional destabilization—are viewed as fundamental obstacles to peace.
The speaker clarifies that this is not a call for immediate regime change but a critique of Iran’s internal governance.
Challenges in regime change:
The speaker notes that internal revolt or reform in Iran appears unlikely under the current regime.
Attempts by Western nations to support internal dissent have been limited, and the regime maintains tight control.
