Is foreign intervention in Iran's political developments and assistance in regime change acceptable? Is it feasible? There are citizens, political activists, and observers who see no alternative to dismantling the current religious regime and constructing a new government with a completely different structure. However, among those advocating for regime change, there are various factions. The main source of disagreement lies in the methods and tools employed. Some pursue peaceful means of change, while others argue that any means, even violent, are justifiable for changing the Iranian government. Some say that creating change in Iran's political landscape is solely the responsibility of Iranians; others argue that without foreign assistance, fundamental change in the government is nothing more than a mirage. The sixth hour program, prompted by recent statements from the U.S. Secretary of State supporting 'peaceful' regime change, features two guests from different factions advocating for regime change. Reza Taghizadeh believes that the Iranian government should be changed by any means possible and with the help of any foreign country, while Mohsen Sazgara asserts that regime change should occur, but only through the will and intervention of Iranian citizens and through peaceful means.
