Should the UN step in and hold new elections in Iran?

1 Answer

Answer :

How exactly would this happen? It isn’t like Iran has had a favorable-accommodating relationship with the UN already (can you say, nuclear inspectors?) Also, as much as I think the current Iranian “government” is tyrannical, what country would allow an outside force to come in and “help” in that way? I don’t think any country would allow that, so it doesn’t seem feasible. Short of an invasion of Iran, this would never happen.
