If this government in Iran can collapse, that would be awesome. Probably won't happen, but at least Iran is suffering since Trump ended the absolute treasonous deal Obama made with them.

Quote:The Trump Administration knows exactly how to handle the despotic government of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism: On Sunday Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif admitted to the Iran Chamber of Congress that the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal would have “very dangerous consequences” for the country.
With protests mounting in the country against the government in full swing, what Zarif is likely referring to is the fact that any more pressure on Iran’s economic system and the government will fall. As Reuters reported, “The Iranian rial plunged to a record low against the U.S. dollar on the unofficial market on Sunday, continuing its slide amid fears of returning U.S. sanctions after President Donald Trump in May withdrew from a deal on Tehran’s nuclear program. The dollar was being offered for as much as 87,000 rials, compared to around 75,500 on Thursday, the last trading day before Iran’s weekend, according to foreign exchange website Bonbast.com, which tracks the unofficial market.”

A collapse in the Iranian government might engender a far more right wing/theocratic regime in Iran.

Yeah, I'm afraid we could get a religiously-fanatical goverment that will back Hezbollah, threaten to build nuclear weapons to eradicate all Israelis, and allow terrorists safe passage through their territory to attack the US.......wait, what?
