US EditionTrump’s Enormous Gamble on Regime Change in Iran
The U.S. and Israel targeted Iran's nuclear sites and leadership in a campaign aiming to end the regime, citing 10,000 to 15,000 recent protester deaths, officials said.
- On February 24, 2026, US officials signaled they are weighing military strike options against Iran amid an unprecedented regional military buildup and briefings on Iran’s missile program.
- The IRGC’s brutal response to January’s protests included a communications blackout and massacre, and justifications for US strikes cite civilian protection, nuclear rollback, and Iran’s missile program.
- Targeting could extend to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and advanced weapon stockpiles, analysts note, risking destabilization and jolting global markets due to the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy chokepoint.
- Western embassies and military outposts evacuated non-essential staff with warnings from Mike Huckabee, while Badr Albusaidi briefed US Vice President J.D. Vance and Gulf states barred airspace amid Iran retaliation risks.
- Analysts caution that regime change risks deep regional destabilization and long-term fallout as Iran’s corrupt political system and IRGC’s multifaceted power make removal ineffective and could trigger refugee flows from Iran’s population of 93 million.

In a video, he told the Iranian people: “Now is the time to take control of your destiny. This is the time to act. Don’t let it happen.” It doesn’t sound complicated. After all, with Iran’s largely unpopular government weakened by ferocious airstrikes, some of its top leaders dead or missing, and Wash…

Trump talks regime change in Iran after strikes, but history shows that could be very hard
