President Donald Trump and White House officials signaled that the administration is open to regime change, after the United States bombed the country’s nuclear facilities over the weekend.

In a statement on Truth Social, Trump suggested that Iran’s government, which has ruled the country as an Islamic theocratic autocracy since 1979, could be toppled in the midst of more than a week of airstrikes between Iran and Israel. The United States bombed multiple nuclear sites in an attempt to prevent Iran from producing a nuclear weapon.
