Forget Regime Change. How About Behavior Change?

As President Donald Trump himself might put it: Many people are asking if he is going for regime change in Iran.

The massive U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign in the country might suggest a simple "yes," and that's what many Iranians want to hear after decades of tyranny under the clerics in Tehran.

But as I've followed what Trump is doing and saying about Iran, I've come to realize he might be willing to eliminate the top ranks of a regime but still not remove it. Zoom out further — to Venezuela, Cuba and even Trump's first term pressure on Iran — and there's lots of evidence that Trump is eager to embrace novel ways of remaking a government he doesn't like.
