Is forced regime change by external powers a viable solution to Iran’s political crisis?

Iran has faced repeated protests over economic hardship, political restrictions, and dissatisfaction with its governing system.

Authorities have responded with crackdowns in which protesters have been killed, prompting international concern about human rights.

The situation has been further complicated by the death of the country’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah, who was killed during air strikes.

Some analysts and politicians argue external pressure or intervention could accelerate political change.

Others warn that forced regime change by foreign powers has often led to instability and prolonged conflict.

The crisis has renewed debate over whether outside intervention can resolve Iran’s political crisis or whether change must come from within.
