[UANI Senior Advisor] Saeid Golkar on the Fear and Hope Shaking Iran

“The only chance Iran has for regime change is through the foreign intervention that we are seeing. The modern security state is not going to collapse by internal revolution. People are not able to do that in Venezuela, in Russia, Belarus, China. Because the state is much, much more powerful than the people. In the 20th century, the gap between the power of the state and the power of the people was not as great. So if you had enough people go to the street, it was possible to change the regime. Today, the modern security state is too technologically advanced. . . . In America, people see domestic or foreign politics through the party line. If you’re a Democrat, you criticize anything Republicans do and vice versa. Viewing this through a humanitarian lens, we have to think about protecting those under this repressive regime. In terms of national security, undermining this regime will actually remove one of the biggest threats to that security. A third factor is blowing up the relationship between Iran, China and Russia. . . . And so I would say, think about what is good for the United States, what is good for the region and what is good for the whole world.”
