I don't even see why there should be a dispute about the situation at all.   I thought we all agreed that Mr. A should be left to deal with the huge numbers of his own citizens he has just alienated--with no input from the West except reporting, and expressing dismay at the shoddy "election" just past.


Anybody who advocates any sort of "regime change" in Iran orchestrated by or even advocated by the West (including Israel) needs his or her head examined.

Mr. A has just weakened himself more than anything the West could have done. And any interference by the West will just give him the chance to raise the "patriotism" issue he has just thrown away.
