Trump Declares 'Regime Change' in Iran Amidst Joint US-Israel Aggression
Former US President Donald Trump recently stated that Iran has experienced 'regime change,' adding that 'boatloads of oil' indicate a shift in the country's government. This declaration, reported by Al Jazeera, positions a complex geopolitical reality as a fait accompli achieved through an undefined internal process, while ignoring the overt external pressures.
