00:00And as you say, it's you feel it's irresponsible what Donald Trump has said.
00:05But reports suggest protesters on the streets of Iran are actually calling for the overthrow of Ayatollah Khemenei.
00:12If the U.S. does get involved again, is a regime change actually actually likely to happen in Iran?
00:20Because you mentioned the 12 day war to me.
00:24And when that was happening, there was a lot of talk about regime change.
00:30I think that's a little bit misguided because I want to separate the internal dissent from what's happening as far as a foreign threat.
00:38And this is not just an abstract.
00:40We've seen examples across the region of Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya.
00:45I don't think this kind of military attack from the outside, sort of bombs falling from the sky, is really going to help the internal problems of the Iranian people.
00:56Now, the Iranian people obviously can decide their own fate, their own governance and their own future.
01:02But we really haven't seen, especially with the U.S., boots on the ground, military attack on countries in the name of nation building.
01:09You know what that was, what was supposed to happen in Afghanistan, in Iraq.
01:13We don't really see that.
01:14And also put this in the backdrop of the entire region.
01:16This is not going to be limited to a conflict between Iran, Israel and the U.S.
01:21This is going to very quickly spread to Iran's neighbors.
01:25Iraq has already been involved, countries in the Gulf, the rest of the Middle East.
01:29Iran is one of the most largest populous countries in that region.
01:33If this conflict gets brewing in Iran, it's definitely going to spread to the region, bring more instability, more conflict, and just much more consequences as a result of that.
01:49So I don't think any good is going to come out of this if we add a military attack from the outside to an already chaotic situation in Iran.
