U. S. in achieving regime change in Cuba and Iran under President Trump's administration. It argues that despite the desire for change in both countries, significant obstacles hinder these efforts.
1. Cuba's Economic State: Cuba is in severe economic distress, primarily due to the failed policies of the Castro regime. President Trump has emphasized cutting off Venezuelan oil and financial support, which could worsen the situation. The Cuban regime, now led by Miguel Diaz-Canel, shows little indication of change, and there are no strong contenders for leadership to replace it.
2. Challenges to Regime Change in Cuba: Despite some dissatisfaction among the Cuban populace and limited calls for change, there are no effective groups or resources poised to instigate a revolution against the current regime. This makes regime change unlikely, despite the desire for it.
3. Irans Hostility: Relations with Iran are deteriorating, with recent incidents showing Iranian aggression toward U. S. forces and allies. The Iranian regime remains adamant in its refusal to negotiate on critical issues like its missile program. The U. S. has engaged in talks, but they have yielded little.
4. Military Options and Risks: Trump faces a difficult choice between military action and negotiation with Iran. While attacking could deter future aggression or nuclear development, it risks escalating conflict. Any attack would need to be coupled with support for anti-regime elements within Iran to foster potential change.
The article concludes that the likelihood of regime change in both countries remains low despite the urgency from the U. S. administration. To effectively deal with Iran, military action may be necessary, but such choices come with considerable risks that the administration must carefully evaluate.
