United States President Donald Trump has suggested that a change of government in Iran could be possible if its leaders fail to “make Iran great again.”
His remarks come after U.S airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, a move that has stirred tension across the region.
In a late-night post on Sunday, Trump said the U.S. had delivered a devastating blow to Iran’s underground nuclear sites using GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs and Tomahawk cruise missiles.
According to him, the damage was “monumental,” with the most serious destruction happening deep below the surface.
Trump went on to say that if Iran’s government couldn’t improve the country, it might be time to consider a regime change.
“It’s not politically correct to use the term, “Regime Change,” but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!” he wrote.
His comments contrast with statements from the U.S. administration, which has tried to keep the focus on Iran’s nuclear program rather than regime change.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the operation was aimed strictly at Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and not about removing its leadership.
Vice President JD Vance the U.S was “not at war with Iran, we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear programme,” while Secretary of State Marco Rubio also emphasized that “we’re not looking for war in Iran.”
Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the U.S. of working with Israel to attack Iran and warned of retaliation.
KanyiDaily recalls that President Donald Trump previously warned Iran to either seek peace or prepare for even more forceful military action.
