Trump: Regime Change Has Happened in Iran, 'New Leaders' in Place

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that a regime change has been achieved in Iran, as the country now has “new leaders.” He claimed that Iran gave the US a “gift of great value” related to oil and natural gas, without providing further details. Trump asserted that the US has made “huge successes” in the war against Iran and that “they have no leaders left.” He expressed confidence that the US is in a “very good negotiating position” and that Iran is “defenseless.” Trump mentioned that talks are underway with Tehran, with the participation of himself and other officials, and that Iran is “speaking logically” and has agreed never to acquire a nuclear weapon. He claimed that the US is “moving freely over Tehran.” The statements by Trump come during a period of heightened tension between the US and Iran. The accuracy of his claims about regime change and the situation in Iran is disputed by many analysts.
