The joint U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran have raised a host of questions. Will Iranian sleeper cells in Western nations retaliate? Will a regime more friendly to the West take power in Iran? Will the new state stop sponsoring international terrorism? Also, has President Trump set a new precedent?
In January, Trump sent U.S. special forces to extract Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and bring him to the U.S. to stand trial. Clearly, there was also a desire to change the regime in Venezuela. Now, the U.S. military has cooperated with the Israeli forces that bombed Iranian command centers and killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 47 of his associates. Trump has openly called for “regime change” in Iran and justified the killing of its leaders.
