At the G7 in Canada, diverging views emerged among European leaders regarding regime change in Iran. French President Emmanuel Macron cautioned against the folly of toppling governments like Iraq's and Libya's, arguing that the people of Iran should choose their own rulers without external military intervention. Conversely, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz acknowledged the challenges of regime change yet expressed a desire to end what he termed a 'terrorist regime'. The discussion highlights the complexities and potential chaos following regime changes, alongside ongoing internal discontent in Iran exemplified by the Women Life Freedom movement.
Regime change with no plan is a strategic mistake. We have seen failed interventions that resulted in chaos and prolonged suffering for millions of people.
We are dealing with a terrorist regime both internally and externally. It would be good if this regime came to an end, though outcomes are often unpredictable.
