The world should not shed tears for Iran’s ruling regime.
It should, however, be concerned about keeping the repercussions from Saturday’s bombing raid by the United States contained.
Iran’s nuclear ambitions have long been a worry for Israel and the United States, as well as for other Arab states that are friendly to the United States but wary of Iran’s regional ambitions. The 1979 Iranian revolution brought power to the current regime, whose foreign policy includes a call for Israel to be destroyed. Beyond that, its sponsorship of terrorism is a threat to its own region and beyond.
The nation’s rulers deserve little sympathy. Its people, however, deserve a lot of it.
