Again, regime change must come from within.
It can't be imposed by the United States, no matter what we do, even though what we do is important if we continue to put pressure on the regime.
But it's from inside Iran, and I think that is probably the most important thing for us to understand.
Well, I think there are a number of things one can do militarily that could make a difference.
Uh, there are many options in the cyber world.
Uh, the armada could also be used for a blockade again to put pressure on the regime.
And of course, there are kinetic options that could strike at the power centers, whether it be IRGC or their Ministry of Intelligence,
you know, within the country.
So there are a lot of things that we could do militarily, but we could also, you know, continue to put pressure through economic measures like expanding and toughening the sanctions, pushing for secondary sanctions, cutting off access to the international financial system.
There are political and diplomatic things that we can do pressuring Europeans and other countries
countries to close the Iranian embassies, to kick out the agents of the regime.
And most important, I think what we can do is push so that the regime doesn't get yet another lifeline through their negotiations.
yes i certainly agree with you i think if they had a nuclear weapon they would use it they would do anything for the survival of the regime
But the ballistic missile force, even though it was degraded significantly by Israeli strikes in the 12-day war in June, still may be a formidable force.
And it is the ballistic missile force that the Iranians are saying, that the Iranian government is saying, will be used if there's any attack on Iran.
But that's one of the reasons that president Trump has assembled this armada and the armada includes not just offensive capabilities, but defensive capabilities, missile defense capabilities to protect American forces in the region.
Uh, and also to, uh, to protect our allies, but we can't, we can't discount, you know, that, uh, that the regime won't use, uh, ballistic missiles.
Uh, they've done that in the past, not with great success.
But that's pretty much all that's left for them in terms of their options.
Well, you can already see the next wave of demonstrations and protests.
