U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that a regime change has occurred in Iran, asserting that the current administration is more "moderate." Trump stated that the U.S. would withdraw from Iran within 2-3 weeks and said that the Strait of Hormuz is not the responsibility of the U.S. He claimed that they have prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which is Washington's primary objective.
US President Donald Trump made striking statements regarding Iran following the presidential decree signing ceremony held at the White House. Answering questions from reporters, Trump claimed that "regime change" has occurred in Iran.
CLAIM OF “TWO REGIMES OVERTHROWN IN IRAN”
Trump suggested that the current administration in Iran has a different structure, stating, “We have already achieved regime change in Iran. We overthrew one regime, then we overthrew the second regime. Now there is a very different group of people. I think they are much more reasonable, much less radical.” These remarks ignited a new debate in the international public sphere.
“WE WILL WITHDRAW IN 2-3 WEEKS”
Speaking about the US military presence in Iran, Trump indicated that operations would come to an end shortly. “I think in two or three weeks. Then we will withdraw from there,” said Trump, expressing that the US does not have a permanent military objective in the region.
HORMUZ STRAIT MESSAGE: NOT OUR BUSINESS
Trump also made a notable statement regarding the Hormuz Strait, one of the critical points of global energy trade. Emphasizing that the US will not directly intervene in the energy flow in this region, Trump said, “If France or any other country wants to buy oil or natural gas, they will pass through the Hormuz Strait and take care of themselves. We have nothing to do with this.”
“WE HAVE REACHED OUR NUCLEAR OBJECTIVE”
The US President stated that their most important goal regarding Iran is to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons, claiming success in this regard. Trump asserted that “Iran will never have nuclear weapons again.”
RESONATED IN THE INTERNATIONAL AGENDA
Trump's statements have resonated widely in terms of the current political structure in Iran, the balance of power in the region, and the US's Middle East policies. Experts emphasize that the declarations regarding “regime change” and “withdrawal timeline” should be carefully evaluated in light of the realities on the ground and diplomatic balances.
