Supporting the protests in Iran could amplify the voices of those seeking reform, but we must also consider the potential destabilizing effects this could have on the region, particularly if it escalates military tensions over the nuclear issue.

The international community must support the Iranian people's right to protest and their calls for greater freedoms. A strong response, including sanctions against the regime, can help pressure the government to address human rights violations.

Any response to the protests must be cautious, as increased sanctions or military posturing could alienate moderate factions within Iran. We need to ensure our actions do not further entrench hardline elements within the government.
