Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAn opinion piece in The Hill this morning argues that regime change in Iran is needed now more than ever.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe column opens with the 1930s and 1940s, and says Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan taught the Greatest Generation that pure evil exists on a grand scale.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe writer says it took the horrors and sacrifices of the Second World War to end those regimes, and then applies that lesson to Iran's government today.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTo be clear, this is an opinion column, not a policy announcement, and the summary we have does not say what any government plans to do.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt lands on a morning when Iran is already in the news, with Britain's MI5 chief warning of growing Iranian and Russian threats to the U.K.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhether you agree or not, how America handles Iran is a debate that reaches gas prices, travel and the news you wake up to, so expect it to keep coming up.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe thing to watch is whether this argument moves from the opinion pages into actual policy.
