The White House on Monday, June 23) prevents the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in the US on the weekend and suggested that it may be to remove their leaders on the Iranian people if Tehran refuses to return to diplomatic interviews. While the highest officials insist that the regime change is not an official US policy, President Donald Trump’s last notes indicate differently.
Karoline Leavtt, the print secretary of the White House, explained that the US military posture remains unchanged despite recent strikes. In an interview with ABC News, Leavitt said the US still hopes that diplomacy can succeed – but responsibility for the Iranian people, if not. She suggests that the decision should be on the Iranian people to “oppose this brutal terrorist regime” unless they deal with diplomacy forward.
“If the Iranian regime refuses to achieve a peaceful diplomatic solution that the president is still interested in and, by the way, why Iranian people should not take the power of this incredibly violent regime that has been suppressing them for decades?” She said about Fox News.
She added that the US “believes that Iranian people can control their destiny.”
Trump indicates a change in mode
President Trump lifted his eyebrows on Sunday evening when he published the truth on his social platform: “It is not politically correct to use this term” change of regime “, but if the current Iranian regime fails to re -create Iran, why wouldn’t the regime change ???”
This means a sharp deviation from the official position of the US, which constantly denied that the aim of the military campaign is to overthrow the Iranian government.
“Monumental damage” from air strikes
The US joined the Israeli military campaign over the weekend and launched a risky bomber mission on the three main Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities, including a fortified Ford instead of buried deep in the mountain south of Tehran.
The White House said the strike was a “complete success”. Trump said in the post that the Iranian nuclear program was “monumental damage”.
However, no independent damage verification was published. There are questions about whether an enriched uranium was moved before the strikes – potentially applicable in a nuclear weapon.
Trust in targeted strikes
Leavitt prevented the accuracy of the operation and said Good Morning America: “We have a high assurance that where these strikes took place, there is a place where the Iranian enriched uranium was stored.”
She added, “The president would not start strikes if we weren’t sure.”
According to Leavitt, the administration believes that air strikes have effectively stopped Iranian abilities of nuclear weapons: “They no longer have the ability to build this nuclear weapon and threaten the world,” she said.
The US and Israel are accused by Iran of hiding nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian energy program – the accusation denies Tehran. Saturday’s American strikes mean the main escalance in efforts to stop this program.
