President Trump recently contradicted his earlier stance on Iran, asserting that his administration does not seek regime change. This statement followed his weekend comments suggesting such a change might be necessary if Iran fails to improve.

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Tuesday he does not seek regime change in Iran, as doing so could lead to “chaos.” “No. If there was, there was, but no, I don’t want it. I’d like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
