Trump posts about Iran 'regime change' after US strikes
US President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social that it was "not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change???" "MIGA!!!" Trump's post was in contrast to what other officials in his administration have said about the strikes, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth having said the operation "was not, has not not been about regime change." Trump claims biggest damage to nuclear sites was 'far below ground level' US President Donald Trump said the biggest damage done to the nuclear sites happened "far below ground level" as shown by satellite images, though it was not clear which images he was referring to. "Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame," Trump posted on Truth Social. Trump is also set to meet with his national security team on Monday afternoon in the Oval Office, according to a schedule seen by CNN. The Israeli army's spokesman, Effie Defrin, said earlier that Israel and the US were working together to assess the damage to Iran's nuclear program. The UN nuclear watchdog said earlier that it was too early to assess the damage at the Fordo underground nuclear facility.
