       #IdiotInChief #Trump on Sunday called into question the future of #Iran’s ruling theocracy after a surprise attack on 3 of the country’s #nuclear sites, contradicting his admin’s earlier calls to resume negotiations & avoid an escalation in fighting. “It’s 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???” Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!”#war https://apnews.com/article/iran-trump-nuclear-sites-strikes-503eb17f991a8509604b4b3aaf93cb5c

       #Trump’s posting on Truth Social marked a reversal from #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth’s news conference that detailed the aerial bombing.“This mission was not & has not been about regime change,” Hegseth said.What the admin has made clear is that it wants #Iran to stop any development of #nuclear weapons, w/ Secy of State #MarcoRubio warning on FauxNews’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that any retaliation against the #US or a rush toward building a nuclear weapon would “put the regime at risk.”#war

       But beyond that, the world is awash in #uncertainty at a fragile moment that could decide whether parts of the globe tip into #war or find a way to salvage a relative peace. #Trump’s warning to Iran’s leadership comes as the #US has demanded that #Iran not respond to the bombardment of the heart of a #nuclear program that it spent decades developing.#geopolitics #MiddleEast #Israel

       The #Trump admin has made a series of intimidating statements even as it has simultaneously called to restart negotiations, making it hard to get a complete read on whether the #US president is simply taunting an adversary or using inflammatory words that could further widen the war between #Israel & #Iran that began earlier this month.[trying to make sense of the senseless]#geopolitics #MiddleEast #war

       @Nonilex So….we’ve had: the bombing destroyed everything, except there’s no proof of this, Iran is not building nukes, except Trumpty believes it might be, and now Trump minion says regime change is not an objective but Orange Ogre saying it is! What a hot mess of an administration! Do they speak to one another?! #trumpadministration

       Up until #Trump’s post on Sunday afternoon, the coordinated messaging by the VP, #Pentagon chief, top #military adviser & secretary of #state suggested a confidence that any fallout would be manageable & that Iran’s lack of military capabilities would ultimately force it back to the bargaining table.#Hegseth had said that America “does not seek war” with #Iran, while #JDVance said the strikes have given Tehran the possibility of returning to negotiate with Washington.#geopolitics #US #war

       #Trump has frequently threatened other countries, but often backed down or failed to follow through, given his promises to his coalition of voters not to entangle the #UnitedStates in an extended #war [as if promises mean anything to him]. It is not clear whether #Iran sees the avoidance of a wider conflict as in its best interests.#geopolitics #MiddleEast #Israel #war

       @Nonilex Nothing quite says "we do not seek war" like bombing another country's stuff, and punching a foreign country is a sure-fire way to "bring them to the table"/s
