Up until now, President Donald Trump has stopped short of calling for regime change in Iran, but after he ordered the massive U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites Saturday evening, he appears to have changed his tune. If the current despotic, extremist regime can’t make “Iran Great Again,” perhaps it’s time for someone else to do it, he suggested:
Posting to Truth Social Sunday afternoon, he argued that it’s time for “MIGA”:
It’s not politically correct to use the term, “Regime Change,” but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!
The president was meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday, where they both urged the bellicose Iranians to come back to the negotiating table or face further consequences:
‘Why wouldn’t there be a regime change,’ Trump asked, rhetorically – even as he and Starmer urged Ayatollah Khameini to ‘return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.’
They made the urgent request after the US sent a fleet of B-2 bombers to ‘obliterate’ three Iranian enrichment sites on Saturday night.
The ‘bunker buster’ raid from Trump stunned the world and led the United Nations to hold an emergency meeting on Sunday afternoon, where officials said the US crippled Iran’s crucial enrichment sites.

The president is taking criticism online for the post because he and others in the administration have said that the strikes were not about regime change; they were just an operation to decapitate Iran’s efforts to obtain nukes. However, Trump did not call for U.S boots on the ground in his post; if he does that, that would be an entirely different matter.
Iran has continued to act aggressively and has repeatedly threatened the United States since the assault:
In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the nation ‘have to respond’ to Trump’s aggression, and the US terror threat was ominously raised in anticipation of a tit-for-tat strike.
Earlier Sunday, Trump taunted Iran as he said his actions took ‘the bomb right out of their hands’, and praised the overnight strikes as a ‘spectacular military success.’
The president spoke out as reports emerged that he attempted to arrange peace talks with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Turkey a week before his strikes, but he was snubbed.
Trump even offered to fly to Turkey personally for face-to-face talks, but expressed frustration with Iran before he ultimately decided to launch on Saturday night.
Trump also posted a “thank you” to our forces who carried out the action:

Although lots of pundits have their pants on fire over Trump’s “regime change” post, he did not say that America would take action to make that happen. It could be interpreted as him encouraging the Iranian people to rise up like they attempted to do in 2009, but were abandoned by then-President Obama.
