Is the Argument for Regime Change in Iran Well Founded? The first factor that challenges the power of the ruling regime is the looming threat of uprisings. From an economic and social perspective   By Shahriar Kia  September 30, 2017 -- During his first address to the UN General Assembly in September, President Donald Trump offered a perspective on the people and the regime of Iran that starkly differed from that of his predecessors.

And the testament to the fact are the reactions of Ira...

Isolated and generally regarded as a pariah, the regime and its familiar figures try to stick to the same plot and project an image of a powerful and rational player. Brush aside the forced rhetoric and the ugly truth reveals itself: A regime that has hanged over 3,100 people under Rouhani alone, securing the world record for the highest number of executions. Dozens of young people are among the victims, securing another record; the wor...
