Trump Suggests ‘Regime Change’ in Iran Following US Strikes on Nuclear Sites

Following US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, former President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of a “regime change” in Iran. Trump questioned the current leadership’s ability to revitalize the nation, using a post on Truth Social to express his views. He also praised the military’s performance, highlighting the “monumental” damage inflicted on the nuclear sites. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the success of the operation, stating that precision strikes were conducted in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz, with the aim to destroy or severely degrade Iran’s nuclear program. While Hegseth noted the operation did not target Iranian troops or civilians, the former President’s remarks signaled a potential shift in US foreign policy toward Iran.
