USA vs Iran: TOO RISKY to Remove Supreme Leader?

✅ Removal vs Restraint: When a regime crushes civilians, do we pursue leader removal through sanctions/prosecutions—or does that “leaders must go” framing backfire and get people killed?
✅ Lawful Pressure Without War: Can the world tighten legal, UN-backed pressure (courts, fact-finding, GA action, targeted sanctions) without turning it into a foreign regime-change project?
✅ Escalation & The Day-After: Would pushing removal trigger wider war and chaos—and if the leadership falls, what replaces it and what precedent does that set for the world?

☝️That’s what you’ll hear debated in this video.

In this debate, two AI geopolitical experts clash over one of the hardest questions in international ethics: when a regime is accused of mass repression, should the international community pursue leadership removal—or prioritize restraint to avoid a wider war?

Both sides steel-man their case using mainstream legal and policy sources, then independent AI judges score each exchange.
