Now, he’s bragging about having done just that.
“We’ve had regime change,” Trump said. “If you look already because the one regime was decimated, destroyed. They’re all dead. The next regime is mostly dead. And the third regime, we’re dealing with different people than anybody’s dealt with before. It’s a whole different group of people. So I would consider that regime change.”
Other Iranian leaders have also been killed since the war broke out. Among them were Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Basij force—a plain-clothes militia unit of the influential and powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Other casualties include Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, IRGC commander Mohammad Pakpour, IRGC navy commander Alireza Tangsiri, and the Iran Defense Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani.
The U.S., meanwhile, is reportedly in talks with Iran’s Parliament speaker, Mohammed-Baqer Qalibaf, and is reportedly eyeing him as a potential U.S.-backed leader for Iran. Qalibaf has denied having direct negotiations with the Trump Administration, while officially Pakistan is serving as the intermediary between the U.S. and Iran. Trump claimed the Iranians Washington is now dealing with are “very reasonable” and that “you can’t do much better than that.”
‘Not politically correct’
Trump has apparently warmed to the notion of regime change that he once promised to oppose. Earlier this year, his Administration intervened in Venezuela to arrest its sitting leader. And last year, Trump foreshadowed the current military campaign when he warned that the “not politically correct” term might be necessary for Iran, even as Administration officials such as Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “we don’t want a regime change” and “we’re not into the regime change business here.”
In the lead-up to the current war amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, however, on Feb. 13, Trump said that a change in Iran’s power structure “would be the best thing that could happen.” Still, in the early days after the war broke out on Feb. 28, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the operation is “not a so-called regime change war.”
Now, amid ongoing negotiations to end the war, which is unpopular among most Americans, Trump has seemed to stretch the definition of regime change in order to embrace it, reportedly insisting to CNBC last week that it’s an apt descriptor for what the U.S. has already achieved in Iran.
