In the end, the only sure path to peace in the Middle East is regime change in Iran and dismantling its terrorist proxies. If anyone can accomplish this difficult goal, it would be President Trump. The vast majority of Iranians despise the mullahs and would welcome some form of democracy. Most Iranians are pro-American, and many are even pro-Israel. But they have no say in the policies of the government, and especially the Revolutionary Guard.

The Obama administration missed a golden opportunity to support regime change when Iranians took to the streets against the mullahs. If Trump reimposes crippling sanctions on Iran, internal revolt may be encouraged.
