Arab affairs commentator Tzvi Yehezkelly says there is growing talk in Iran about a Venezuela style outcome after Trump spoke about the possibility of regime change.
He argues Trump may not be focused on toppling the ayatollah regime itself, but rather on replacing specific figures and bringing Iran under American interests.
He adds that comparing Iran to Venezuela can be misleading, and that trying to apply Western political logic to Islamist regimes in the Middle East often leads to the wrong conclusions.
