White House: Iran regime change not objective despite Trump social media post

The White House is insisting that toppling the Iranian government was not the objective of this weekend’s military airstrikes against three nuclear facilities. President Trump raised the possibility of regime change in a social media post. But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explains that the president was “simply raising a question” that many people are asking. Other administration officials, including Vice President Vance and the secretaries of State and Defense, have also said the U-S objective was not regime change.
