Bloomberg: Venezuela’s scenario does not work in Iran

According to RCO News Agency, Iran and Venezuela have been linked together due to their enmity with the US and recely due to their common need to circumve sanctions in the energy sector. For this reason, the kidnapping of Venezuelan Preside Nicolás Maduro by the United States has raised concerns that Maduro’s removal from power may have jeopardized another link in Tehran’s network of alliances.

The Bloomberg network wrote with this iroduction: We say “possible”, because it is not yet clear what the result of the operation of the US special forces in Venezuela will be. Delsey Rodriguez, Maduro’s deputy at his inauguration as ierim preside on Monday, although he made conciliatory remarks toward the United States, reserved most of his atteion and warm embrace for the ambassadors of Maduro’s main iernational allies, including China, Iran and Russia, and is aggressively dealing with any poteial domestic opposition.

Referring to some protests in several Iranian cities in the past few days, the American network added: This situation prompted “Donald Trump” to give an early warning that the United States is ready to iervene if the situation coinues. But the question raised here is not whether Iran and the region would be better off without the Islamic Republic, but whether more airstrikes would help or hinder Washington’s goals.

According to Bloomberg, there are at least two reasons for America’s restrai. The first reason is that Iran united after the June airstrikes because no one enjoys being bombed by a foreign power or the civilian collateral damage that is almost inevitable. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that a repeat of the rece attacks will have the same effect. Protesters may return to their homes for fear of being seen as accomplices of the enemy.

A second reason for the pause is that it is highly unlikely that even if a second attack by the United States and Israel brings about regime change in Iran, a stable pro-Western democracy will emerge in its wake. It is more likely that power will be transferred to a governme with less religious bigotry but just as hostile.
