As I've said elsewhere, why would the CIA fund the collapse of the Iranian regime? If a democratic Iran wins and the current power removed, this
would mean the middle east would have a friendly Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India.
There would no longer be justification for
being there! Hezbollah and Hamas would collapse from no funding, Syria would give up trying to do anything, Israel would be unquestioned in
its occupation o Palestine, and Iran would have no interest in bullying Israel.
Not only that, but this would tip the power balance as well. The fleeing of all those who stand against a united free middle east will cause China and
Russia to be more involved. Those that oppose us only have China and Russia to run to anymore if Iran falls.
Why would the US risk more drama with China AND Russia whilst trying to maintain a presence in the middle east?
Where will this money come from? how do you plan on being on the defensive in a new cold war where Russia and China stand at odds to you and each
other.
What you'd have is a 3 way split sphere of influence. And when 3 superpowers begin building spheres on influence in the same area.... well... just
look at history.
The US cannot defend the entire middle east against Chinese and Russian influences, while at the same time remaining defensive-aggressive to North
Korea, while at the same time funding the formation and securing of the African Union and it's health interests, all while at the same time keeping
it's people calm and not revolting.
By all means pal, tell me your strategy on how to do this.
If you still think the CIA did it, than you really have no strategy education. Even basic video games for 10 year olds tell you this basic lesson.
