  • Iran is the main obstacle to Israel's plans for territorial expansion in Syria and Lebanon.
  • Tim hopes any regime change in Iran works quickly, citing the disastrous track record of previous interventions.
  • The Taliban returned, Iraq's fate is unclear, Syria is run by ISIS, and Libya became a failed state.
  • Changing the allegiances of 90 million Iranians through regime change isn't as simple as waving a magic wand.
  • The Iranian regime is brutal, using virtue police to assault and imprison women who violate hijab rules.
  • Beverly Hills Iranian Jews protested the regime's treatment of a woman who removed her hijab in public.
