“Is Regime Change Even Possible? The REAL Truth About Iran” | Yossi Goldstein - ShmueliCast Ep. 68

from ShmueliCast · host Shmueli Ungar

Two months after the U.S. launched a massive strike on Iran — a blitz attack that killed longtime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and shook the entire regime to its core — what was supposed to be a decisive moment has turned into something far more complicated.In this episode of ShmueliCast, we sit down with geopolitical expert Yossi Goldstein to break down what the Iranian regime actually is, and why it doesn’t collapse the way people expect. We get into why Iran isn’t another Venezuela, who really holds power behind the scenes, and what “winning” this war would even mean.We also discuss what it would actually take for the regime to fall — if that’s even realistic — and whether it’s already too late to back out of the war.Listen to the podcast on your favorite streaming services.Amazon Music:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d51...Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Castbox:https://castbox.fm/channel/id5481304?...iHeartRadio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/117681...Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/57sZtsN...Zing:https://j-m.app/?rssId=9635&title=Shm...24Six: https://tfs.app.link/IaFYJx4cSEb
