There is a reason it is known as β€˜regime change’ as it is not just the leader who is removed but their entire upper echelons are included as well. There maybe trouble days ahead for the USA in Venezuela.

The same happened in the case on Indian companies and Chabahar Port. The Indian government wanted to develop the port as counter to Gwadar port but sanctions on Iran had kept Indian companies away
