Washington (dpa-AfX)-US President Donald Trump has signaled support for a change in Iranian leadership. “It is not politically correct to use the term” regime change “,” the Republican wrote on his Truth Social platform. “But if the current Iranian leadership is unable to make Iran great again, why shouldn’t there be a regime change ??? Miga !!!” With the abbreviation of four letters, Trump alluded to his slogan “Make America Great Again” (“Maga”) – here in relation to Iran.
The United States justifies its attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities with the risk of nuclear armament of Tehran. In an interview by the broadcaster CBS, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio again emphasized that the attacks had not had the goal of overthrowing Iranian leadership. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance had similarly commented.
However, there is definitely a camp in Trump’s Republican Party that has long been striving for a political overthrow in Tehran. For example, the Republican Senator Lindsey Graham wrote on the X platform that Trump was “completely right” with his contribution to Truth Social. Graham declared his support and ended his contribution with the abbreviation “Miga” ./ Ge Gei/dp/ZB
