TL;DR

President Trump said he believes there will be a regime change in Iran, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). He added that the current Iranian leadership is 'more rational,' suggesting a potential shift in Tehran's political landscape.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump stated he expects a change of government in Iran, telling Amichai Stein of i24NEWS that the current leadership is 'more rational.' The remark, made at 23:09 Jerusalem, marks a notable departure from the recent escalation in rhetoric: over the past several days, Trump has alternately threatened to 'wipe Iran off the face of the earth' and confirmed heavy airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure. The Zioneer has tracked the evolving US position through multiple statements and reports — from demands for restraint to authorizing strikes — and this latest comment suggests a diplomatic or political track may be re-emerging alongside the military pressure. No official White House readout of the exchange has been issued, and it remains unclear whether Trump was referring to internal Iranian politics or a negotiated transition. The claim is attributed to a single source and has not been independently corroborated.
