The response highlighting the question "Is regime change possible in Iran?" from the United States.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken answered questions regarding U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) conference hall in New York. Blinken stated, "The fundamental question now is; can the Syrian people take advantage of this moment, can they put their country on a better path, and for the first time in decades, can they seize this opportunity to not be governed by a dictator, a foreign power, a terrorist organization, a sect, or a minority? That is the challenge."

"I WAS NOT SAD ABOUT ASSAD BEING REMOVED FROM THE COUNTRY"

Blinken noted that he was not saddened by seeing Assad being removed from Syria, but pointed out that there are some complications they have to face in this situation. Regarding the future of Syria, Blinken said, "Just a few days ago, we gathered in Jordan. We brought together Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Gulf countries, Iraq, and some of our European partners, and we established some principles together for our expectations moving forward in Syria."

"WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH ALL GROUPS"

Blinken stated that they are in contact with all emerging groups, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which is the leader of the opposition groups in Syria, and mentioned that there is still a risk of fragmentation in Syria, which could have negative consequences for the Syrian people. Blinken said, "I think Donald Trump will have a strong incentive to keep the resurgence of ISIS in Syria under control."

"I WILL WORK UNTIL THE LAST DAY OF MY MISSION FOR GAZA"

U.S. Secretary of State Blinken expressed hope for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and stated that he would use his remaining month in office to achieve this. The Secretary, whose term ends on January 20, said, "I am hopeful. You should be hopeful too. We will use every day and every minute of the remaining weeks to achieve this." Blinken emphasized that ending the war in Gaza is in Israel's interest and reiterated the need for an agreement on post-war governance, mentioning the effort to reach a conclusion that ensures Hamas is not in control.

"I THINK THERE IS STILL A POSSIBILITY OF NEGOTIATION WITH IRAN"

In response to a question regarding Iran's desire to produce nuclear weapons, Blinken stated, "You will certainly see that more thought is being given to this issue because they have lost different defense lines, but I believe there is still a possibility of negotiation with Iran."

"IS REGIME CHANGE POSSIBLE IN IRAN?"

In response to the question of whether regime change is possible in Iran with the support of the opposition, Blinken replied, "Looking at the last 20 years, I think our experiments regarding regime change have not been exactly resounding successes."
