Iran currently has elections which routinely elect pro-nuclear Presidents. Also, changing the government to remove clerical influence doesn’t resolve the Sunni-Shia split in regional politics.
Some people have, but I don’t assume Iran to have a monolithic political culture. It is like judging someone from San Francisco and Fresno as having the same political beliefs. Currently, the people from Fresno are in charge.
Using that analogy, I could see a leftist in San Francisco choosing an aggressive foreign policy after a school in their city was bombed by a foreign power while they were trying to make peace.
What’s regime change going to do in the long run?
