A Strategic Case for a Post-Regime Iran

For more than four decades, the Islamic Republic of Iran has functioned as a systemic destabilizer across the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and global energy markets. Its survival depends not on popular legitimacy, but on repression, proxy warfare, and strategic disruption.

A peaceful transition to a representative Iranian government—driven by coordinated diplomatic pressure, economic realignment, and international guarantees—would likely produce more global stability per dollar spent than any other geopolitical intervention available today.

This is not a humanitarian argument alone. It is a hard-nosed strategic and financial argument, particularly compelling for the United States and its allies.
