New book: Trump raged at Vance for refusing to say Iran's nuke program was 'obliterated'

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 16:47

TL;DR

An unreleased book, 'Regime Change,' reportedly contains audio recordings of President Trump screaming at Vice President Vance for using cautious language about Iran's nuclear program instead of Trump's demanded word, 'obliterated.' According to the book's preview, Trump insisted 'everyone needs to say fucking obliterated' and Vance quickly corrected himself. The book also reportedly includes recordings related to the Epstein affair, a reason the author claims Trump is afraid and conceded to Iran.

01 · THE DISPATCH

This report expands on an earlier bulletin from 14:06, which stated that Trump exploded at Vance for refusing to say Iran's nuclear program was 'destroyed.' The new account, attributed to an upcoming book called 'Regime Change' and published by the website Gplanet, adds specificity: the word Trump demanded was 'obliterated,' and the incident allegedly took place during a meeting where Vance initially used more cautious language. The book also claims to contain recordings related to the Epstein affair, which the author argues is a central reason Trump 'conceded' to Iran's terms. The material is presented as a preview and is not independently verified; the recordings themselves have not been released. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, Trump has publicly characterized the deal with Iran as an 'unconditional surrender.'
