Expert Warns War With Iran Will Only Legitimize the Regime
Original: Middle East Expert Says Iran War Will Only Legitimize the Regime
A Middle East expert argues that military conflict with Iran would backfire, strengthening rather than weakening the country's clerical leadership. The warning suggests that external attacks allow the regime to rally nationalist sentiment, silence domestic opposition and consolidate power. The remarks come amid ongoing debate over whether military action or diplomacy is the more effective path to curbing Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.
Why now: Tensions over Iran's nuclear program and possible military action are keeping debate about the consequences of a war in the headlines.
