Alan Eyre: Iran operation appears focused on regime change, not deterrence https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/0e636321-1cf0-4d6b-8d4a-626e18dea33c Alan Eyre of the Middle East Institute told Middle East Eye that the US-led strike on Iran lacked justification from any imminent threat, despite assertions by President Trump, and could breach both US and international law. Eyre said the operation appeared focused on regime change rather than deterrence.
