‘MIGA’: Trump Hints at Iran Regime Change
President Donald Trump floated the idea of “regime change” on Sunday, following “very successful” U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites.
Trump made his last comments on the war in a post on Truth Social that included his signature “MAGA” slogan in the context of Iran.
“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 said.
The president’s hinting at a possible “regime change” in Iran follows the Pentagon insisting on Sunday morning that the strikes — which targeted the Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites — were solely focused on eliminating the Iranian nuclear program.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that Trump specifically “authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interest posed by the Iranian nuclear program.”
Other U.S. officials echoed that statement on Sunday show appearances, including Vice President JD Vance.
Vance said on NBC News’s Meet the Press that “regime change” is not on the table.
“Our view has been very clear that we don’t want a regime change. We do not want to protract this or build this out any more than it’s already been built out,” Vance said. “We want to end their nuclear program, and then we want to talk to the Iranians about a long-term settlement here.”
