President Trump said he believed regime change in Iran was possible if Iranians had guns, according to a report on his remarks. He was asked about his call to the Iranian people to 'take control,' and replied that if they had weapons, they could achieve change.
The remarks follow Trump's earlier statement today, reported by The Zioneer, in which he said he thought regime change in Iran was possible but had no idea the regime would be willing to kill 52,000 people. Trump has also said in recent days that Iran wants a deal, and that the US would bomb Iran 'at levels never seen' if he were assassinated.
The latest statement continues a pattern of Trump publicly addressing the possibility of political change in Iran, as the US maintains its military campaign and diplomatic outreach to Tehran.
