President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that the U.S. has achieved regime change in Iran, adding that he will address the topics of proxies and ballistic missiles later. The remark, reported by analyst Yair Goldblatt and attributed to Trump, is the latest in a series of Trump statements on Iran, Hezbollah, and the Israeli campaign in Lebanon. In a separate but related thread, Trump also said Israel 'can do a better job' regarding Hezbollah, urging restraint in strikes and emphasizing partnership.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that the U.S. has achieved regime change in Iran and that he will address the topics of proxies and ballistic missiles later, according to analyst Yair Goldblatt. The remark, posted to Telegram without accompanying audio or video, is the latest in a series of Trump statements on Iran, Hezbollah, and the Israeli campaign in Lebanon. In comments reported simultaneously, Trump also said Israel 'can do a better job' regarding Hezbollah, urging restraint in strikes and emphasizing partnership (The Zioneer, Wed 19:20 Jerusalem). This follows a thread of Trump statements on Tuesday: at 06:59 Jerusalem he first said Iran agreed never to hold nuclear weapons; at 13:01 Jerusalem he suggested Syria should handle Hezbollah and urged Netanyahu to be more responsible in Lebanon; at 15:07 Jerusalem he said the Iran deal was complete and regime change had occurred. The new element tonight is Trump's explicit promise to address proxies and ballistic missiles next — a topic not previously raised in this sequence. Goldblatt's post remains the sole source for this remark; no official transcript or recording has been released. The exact scope of 'regime change' — whether in government structure, leadership, or policy — remains unspecified, as does the venue or context of the remarks.
