US EditionTrump says Iran regime change would be the 'best thing that could happen'
President Trump supports regime change in Iran while deploying the USS Gerald R. Ford to join the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East amid stalled diplomacy and rising tensions.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump embraced possible regime change in Iran and confirmed the Pentagon sent a second U.S. aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.
- Escalating tensions stem from Tehran's crackdown on nationwide protests, with the Human Rights Activists News Agency reporting 7,005 killed and more than 53,000 arrested, while Iranians hold 40-day mourning ceremonies.
- The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, can carry more than 75 aircraft, and the Ford strike group will add over 5,000 troops, doubling available aircraft and munitions with two carriers.
- U.S. officials warned an attack could lead to a wider conflict, as Iran's missile arsenal would likely be retaliated against, and Trump said, `Sometimes you have to have fear. That's the only thing that really will get the situation taken care of`.
- U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet in Geneva on Tuesday, as Trump said the extra carrier would withdraw if diplomacy succeeds.
