On the day you attack Iran, declare that attacking Iran is not in our interest...
There is no organized opposition in Iran, merely groups that rival each other, united only through one shared foe.
This regime is firmly entrenched. Fallen leaders will be replaced.
So how can Trump possibly expect a regime change.
