Keith Clegg, former US envoy to Ukraine and co-director of the American Security Center at the "America First" policy institute, a think tank close to Donald Trump, in an interview with Fox News on Sunday, November 15, demanded that the US president, by carrying out covert operations, allow the country's intelligence agencies to help the people of Iran overthrow the Islamic Republic.
Kellogg added that in his opinion, the religious government of the Islamic Republic should not be allowed to remain in power, because this government will continue its current actions for the next five to 10 years.
This former US official also supported the policy of economic pressure and blockade against the Islamic Republic and said that Trump should continue this approach.
In another part of that conversation, Clegg warned IRGC and Basij officials about the threat to American citizens and told them they should be prepared for a possible American response. In response to a question about the possibility of rebuilding Iran's nuclear facilities, Kellogg said that the Islamic Republic will probably try to rebuild these facilities.
