Middle East security analyst Erfan Fard has cautioned U.S. President Donald Trump against attempting to replicate the Venezuela scenario in Iran, warning it could trigger a new crisis and dash the hopes of millions. Fard, a terrorism and Middle East policy specialist, argues that the U.S. administration risks overlooking Iran's unique historical context and popular sentiment.
In an opinion piece for Israel National News, Fard suggests that while Trump initially supported Iranian protestors, his subsequent focus on negotiations might inadvertently allow the current regime to retain power. "Iran is not Venezuela, Mr. President," Fard stated, emphasizing that Iran's political future should not be dictated solely from Washington but decided by its people. He referenced the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the monarchy, and urged against repeating past U.S. missteps.
Fard also highlighted Reza Pahlavi, the heir to the Iranian monarchy and son of the last Shah, noting his continued relevance among those seeking change. He advised Trump to meet with Pahlavi and consider his potential role, though the article does not confirm any U.S. decision to support him. Imposing an external political model, Fard warned, could lead to internal conflict, civil war, violence, and a deep political crisis.
The analyst further criticized the idea that military action alone guarantees political objectives, suggesting that if the Iranian leadership survives costly confrontations, the outcomes might be less than expected. He also criticized the influence of pro-Iranian regime voices in U.S. discourse and urged greater attention to the Iranian leadership's actions towards its citizens. Fard concluded by urging Trump to reject any new deal with Tehran that allows the current system to persist, though his predictions of civil war and negotiation outcomes are presented as his own assessments without independent proof.
