đŁď¸ Trump Calls for New Leadership in Iran; Russia and China Slam U.S. Aggression
Former President Donald Trump has publicly supported the idea of a leadership change in Iran following the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, part of Operation âMidnight Hammer.â On Truth Social, Trump posted: âItâs not politically correct to use the term âRegime Change,â but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldnât there be a Regime change???â This stance directly contradicts the White House, which insists the attacks were strictly aimed at Iranâs nuclear capabilities and not its government.
Global reactions were immediate and intense. Both Russia and China strongly condemned the strikes, accusing the U.S. of escalating tensions and undermining regional stability. They reiterated Iranâs right to pursue peaceful nuclear energy under international law. Meanwhile, Iran labeled the attacks as a violation of its sovereignty and vowed retaliation. European nations and the United Nations have called for urgent diplomatic efforts to prevent a larger conflict in the Middle East.
Trumpâs comments have reignited memories of his earlier âmaximum pressureâ campaign, which saw sweeping sanctions against Iranâs oil and financial sectors. Those measures worsened Iranâs economic crisis, triggering currency collapse and widespread political unrest. With regime-change rhetoric now back in the spotlight, the risk of further escalation looms large.
