“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?” Mr. Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!”
The statement marked something of a reversal from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Sunday (June 23, 2025) morning news conference when he said that regime change was not part of the mission in the aerial bombardment of three Iranian nuclear sites.
