Former Israel Defense Forces spokesman Maj. Doron Spielman told Newsmax on Friday that toppling the current Iranian regime could lead to a major realignment of the world order and could ultimately “take some of the teeth out of” China and Russia.
“Iran has a very proud history that goes back 2,500 years to the Persian people,” Spielman said on “Wake Up America.” “It’s not a simply Muslim regime that was taken over that doesn’t have any memory. The Iranian people, before the ayatollahs took over, were a Western-leaning cultural regime, and there’s a chance that that same type of essence could retake over the Republic.
“If that happened, it would be a major change in the global order. The reason being is we see now Iran is threatening U.S. troops. They’re threatening to close the Straits of Hormuz. They are the pit bull of China. If the United States, Israel, and the West manages Iran to reform the regime and look westward, we could actually change the entire world and take some of the teeth out of China and out of Russia.”
