    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.
