Trump Floats Regime Change in Iran

Sunday, June 22, 2025

President Trump floated the possibility of "regime change" in Iran on Sunday in a post to his Truth Social account.

"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!!" the president wrote.

This is the first time Trump has raised the possibility of regime change in Iran since Israel launched its war ten days ago " and the U.S. joined with airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites on Saturday.

Trump has criticized the neo-conservative faction of the Republican Party for years over their support for regime changes in Iraq, Iran and other places around the world.

Comments

"The president's post is a departure from the rest of his administration, which has stressed multiple times over the last several days that its goal is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and that the U.S. is not pushing for regime change in Iran.

Vice President Vance said on Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press" that the administration's view "has been very clear that we don't want a regime change."

The incompetence is truly breathtaking.

@#1 ... President Trump floated the possibility of "regime change" in Iran on Sunday in a post to his Truth Social account. ...

As I asked a week or two ago, if the current regime is replaced, who, or what entity, will replace it?

He gets to make big announcements on TV while wearing a stupid looking hat.

He thinks that he can extend the Abraham Accords to a 2.0 version where Iran is pacified and the rest join the Accord... and he gets his Nobel Peace Prize.

And the Gaza Trump Hotel and Casino Palace, but he's getting that anyway.

In the old story, that's what the AC, who is the charismatic yet utterly vile leader of the most powerful military nation on earth does; including 'drawing lines on the land' of Israel, and building a palace there.

Not that there's any resemblance to this story.

I saw this recently ...

Pakistan to nominate Donald Trump for Nobel peace prize (June 21, 2025)
www.theguardian.com

... Pakistan has said it will recommend Donald Trump for the Nobel peace prize for his work in helping to resolve the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.

The move, announced on Saturday, came as the US president mulls joining Israel in striking Iran's nuclear facilities.

"President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation," Pakistan said in a statement. "This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker."

Governments can nominate people for the Nobel peace prize. There was no immediate response from Washington. A spokesperson for the Indian government did not respond to a request for comment. ...
