Trump has suggested "regime change" in Iran if leaders fail to improve the situation in the country, in the context of recent US strikes on nuclear facilities.

Following the US air strikes on Iran, Trump said that if the current regime could not make Iran "great again", regime change might be necessary. This was contradicted by officials such as Vice President Vance and Defense Secretary Hegseth, who stressed that the US was not seeking the overthrow of the Iranian government. Meanwhile, the strikes were described by Trump as a "spectacular military success" and Israeli officials confirmed the damage to nuclear facilities.
