Trump Contradicts US Team on Iran Regime Change Amid Nuclear Strikes

News summary

President Donald Trump's recent statements on Iran have caused a rift within his administration, as he implied support for regime change in Iran despite his top aides denying such intentions. While Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites were tactical moves aimed solely at dismantling Iran's nuclear program, Trump questioned why the current Iranian regime should remain if it fails to "Make Iran Great Again," suggesting regime change could be necessary. This divergence in messaging has led to public confusion and criticism, with some observers questioning the coherence of the administration's strategy. Trump's comments on his Truth Social platform undercut the coordinated narrative his aides tried to maintain, raising tensions amid ongoing military actions and Iranian warnings of retaliation. Despite Trump's ambiguous stance, his aides continue to assert that the U.S. does not seek war with Iran itself, only an end to its nuclear ambitions.
