If it is in Venezuela why not Iran?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

what do you mean. Venezuela regime is still in place

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly, so what would be different about Iran is what I mean

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

because Iran is the biggest threat to Israel colonial ambition and they do not want another 1979

They are not still in place, they buckled and gave America huge concessions that will not serve them long term.

If Iran's new leadership says "we won't attack Israel again, we'll stop developing weapons to protect ourselves and will only purchase American weapons from now on" that's when you know the regime changed.

Iran is like syria not Venezuela. If the regime ever change they will destroy all what is left of the Iranian military capability, arms more iranians factions to fight other factions and occupy part of Iran

Yes, I agree totally. I wasn't saying that's likely to happen in Iran, I was simply pointing out that Venezuela did have a regime change, a silent coup. The vice president publicly took over and released political prisoners and started cooperating with the CIA and with the US on Venezuela's energy.
