Middle East Forum Chief Strategist Jim Hanson joins Fox News to discuss Iran’s latest miscalculation, President Trump’s warning to Tehran, and whether regime change is now back on the table.
Hanson argues that Iran’s leaders may be assuming they can survive, sell oil, refill their coffers, and prepare for the next round. But he says Trump’s message signals that Washington may not allow the Islamic Republic to simply regroup.
The discussion also examines what regime change could actually mean, why it does not require U.S. boots on the ground, and how the Iranian people could play the decisive role in ending the regime’s rule.
