Mārtiņš Hiršs, a foreign policy expert, asserts that while opinions on U.S. President Donald Trump may vary, any attacks on Iran should be regarded positively. He highlights that Iran is currently in a weakened position, having suffered significant losses due to actions taken by Israel against its allies in recent months. Hiršs reflects on the internal protests in Iran that took place at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, during which the regime brutally suppressed dissent, resulting in the deaths of thousands.

Hiršs maintains that the brutal nature of Iran's current regime warrants such military actions, emphasizing that Trump's potential aggression towards Iran could indeed be justified. However, he expresses uncertainty about the specific goals the U.S. wishes to achieve through such actions. According to Hiršs, the prospect of regime change is complicated, as many potential new leaders have been assassinated by the current government during the recent protests, suggesting a dire situation for those desiring change within Iran.

Additionally, Hiršs warns that even among those who advocate for change within Iran, there is reluctance to welcome U.S. military strikes. The historical context of American involvement in the region complicates the sentiment, with many citizens fearing the repercussions of U.S. aggression. Thus, while Hiršs acknowledges the potential implications of Trump's actions, he does so with caution regarding the broader impact on Iranian society and international relations.
