Summary
After the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu encouraged Iranians to rise against their government. The history of regime change in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya suggests that external intervention often leads to instability instead of smooth transitions. Iran's unique religious and political context may lead to a rallying effect among its population, complicating the anticipated outcomes of the intervention.
