US President Donald Trump publicly entertains the idea of regime change in Iran, just hours after Vice President JD Vance and others in his administration insisted that Washington’s fight was limited to Iran’s nuclear program and that it wasn’t trying to topple the regime.

“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!!!” Trump writes on Truth social.

In separate posts, Trump says the B-2 bombers that struck Iran’s nuclear sites have “just landed, safely, in Missouri,” hailing “a job well done” and claiming “monumental” damage to the facilities.

“The hits were hard and accurate. Great skill was shown by our military. Thank you!”
