Its arrogant; as if the US couldn't do with a keg of regime change too.
@That_Damn_Frank
Oh yes, “a keg of regime change…” - this is
definitely how regime change should be mesured: in kegs. (Kegsworth take note)

I hear the term “regime change” tossed about with dismaying ease, as if it’s as simple as changing the sheets or something. So, for the sake of all operating in the same reality:
1. “Regime change” is an act of war and a violation of long-standing international law FOR GOOD REASON.
2. This hasn’t stopped the US (and other major powers) over the the last 70 years
3. The track record of “regime change” is abysmal, leading almost inevitably to more human suffering, and less stability in the long term
4. The current (terrible) regime in Iran is a *direct result* of previous “regime change” meddling

It is completely unclear what these numpties think “regime change” even means (it seems to me that they don’t either).
Does it mean taking out a prominent leader (who was 86 and likely to die soon anyway), or the wholesale replacement of the entire government structure? The first doesn’t change the country much at all… Khamenei didn’t slaughter thousands of protesters with his own hands, his underlings are quite capable of staying on course. The second means reinventing government from the ground up, on the fly, by inexperienced people, leaving the nation vulnerable to the risk of a takeover to radical partisans… which is how the people of Iran ended up in the current pickle to begin with.

And like the CI-12 unit, several senior
officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in #Trump related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the #DOJ & #FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of #threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.

As a result, #KashPatel hamstrung the Washington, DC-based #FBI #counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which handles cases ranging from mishandling of classified documents to tracking foreign #spies operating on #US soil.
The dismissals have added to concern inside the #DOJ & FBI that counterterrorism & #intelligence investigations in the wake of the #military operation in #Iran could be hampered by a mass exodus of #NationalSecurity experts, acc/to multiple sources.

I mean, does he think anyone believes him? We all remember June when he “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

During his remarks in the Oval Office where he was hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump gave the following assessment of the state of the Iranian defences after four days of an intense #US - #Israel air offensive.

This idiot governs (using that word very generously) by reactionary insecure whim.
#Trump says #US will cut all #trade with #Spain after it refused to let the US #military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on #Iran.
"Spain has been terrible," Trump told reporters adding that he had told #Treasury Secy Scott Bessent to "cut off all dealings" with Spain.
"We're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain," he added.

'This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with' #Trump says of #Starmer
Trump has renewed his criticism of #Britain for initially holding off providing support for #US strikes on #Iran.
During his Oval Office remarks, he lambasted British PM #KeirStarmer.
"This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with," he said, referring to Britain's revered wartime leader.
