Can the US Force Regime Change upon Iran and Depose the Ayatollah?

THE TELEGRAPH: Trump has made the goal of his military action clear, but he won’t want to see a repetition of the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan

Donald Trump has called for regime change in Iran after the US launched “major combat operations” against the Islamic Republic.

The US president said American forces were “undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests”.

“We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground,” he added in his address from his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Trump’s remarks came as enormous explosions rocked the capital, Tehran, with the first strike appearing to target the offices of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader. » | Richard Oliphant, Chief Foreign Analyst | Saturday, February 28, 2026
