After we dismantled the Japanese regime in World War II, we took the initiative to draft their constitution and establish a government that aligned with our interests. As we consider the aftermath of the potential defeat of the Iranian regime's navy, air force, missile capabilities, and top leadership, we must carefully evaluate our next steps. Despite these potential losses, Iran still possesses a standing army, secret police, and a robust Islamist-supporting infrastructure. There are various strategies we could explore that do not necessarily involve democratization efforts or deploying large numbers of troops. However, it is crucial to recognize that if we create a power vacuum and do not actively engage to fill that void—potentially alongside our allies—or significantly influence how it is addressed, it is highly likely that elements loyal to the old regime will return to power, bolstered by support from allies like China and Russia.
