"I don't think it's our role. He continued by saying the USA has played a very important role globally since World War II. But that does not mean America needs to go in and completely revamp Iran or any other country like was attempted in Iraq in the early 2000s."
"We are the good guys, we are the defenders of freedom and liberty. Does that mean that we should be intervening everywhere around the world and nation-building and doing all these other endeavors? No, because we don't have the resources or the appetite to do that."
"They need to rise up, as the president has tried to encourage, and they need to take that opportunity and secure that for themselves. I am sure that there [are] friends and allies around the world who will help in some ways, but it is not America's responsibility to do that."
Speaker Mike Johnson stated he does not support nation-building operations in Iran, emphasizing that regime change must come from the Iranian people themselves rather than American intervention. While acknowledging America's global leadership role since World War II, Johnson argued the U.S. lacks the resources and public appetite for such endeavors, citing Iraq as a cautionary example. He distinguished between supporting Iranian self-determination and direct American involvement in restructuring the country. Johnson indicated that international allies may provide assistance, but primary responsibility rests with Iranians to seize the opportunity to establish their own government following recent U.S.-Israeli military strikes.
