The Huffington Post quotes Brent Scowcroft Center Nonresident Senior Fellow Matthew Kroenig on the possibility for a more democratic regime in Tehran:
“A more democratic regime in Tehran that respected the basic human rights of its people would certainly be preferable to the autocratic theocracy currently in place, and I think there is nothing wrong with members of Congress articulating such a preference,” said Matthew Kroenig, a senior fellow at The Atlantic Council who has previously made the case for attacking Iran. “Unfortunately, the current regime is strong and the United States does not have any sensible, practical means of bringing about a more desirable form of government in Iran.”
