Trump Backs Away From Leadership Turnover in Iran: ‘Regime Change Takes Chaos’
UNITED STATES, JUN 25 – Trump warns that regime change in Iran risks causing regional instability and chaos, emphasizing a preference for stability after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said while en route to a NATO meeting in The Hague that he does not support a regime change in Iran, as it would result in disorder and instability.
- This followed Trump's controversial social media post suggesting regime change, which contradicted senior officials and created uncertainty about U.S. policy.
- Top U.S. officials, including the Vice President and the Secretary of State, have stated that the primary goal is to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions rather than to pursue a change in its leadership.
- Trump said, "Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon," and noted Russian President Vladimir Putin contacted him offering assistance regarding Iran.
- Trump’s rejection of regime change suggests the administration aims to maintain calm and disable Iran’s nuclear capabilities without causing further instability.
