Trump announces 'regime change' in Iran militarily and pledges to end the mission quickly

US President Donald Trump announced that the American armed forces achieved a decisive victory in their battle against the Iranian regime, describing Tehran as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. In a speech to the nation from the White House, Trump affirmed that military operations targeted the regime's infrastructure and succeeded in neutralizing the threats Iran posed to regional and international security.

The US President revealed that Washington managed to bring about actual change in the structure of the Iranian regime by eliminating first and second-tier leaders in the hierarchy of power. He indicated that the Iranian scene is currently witnessing the rise of leaders he described as 'more moderate,' paving the way for a new phase away from the previous confrontational policies pursued by Tehran.

Trump stressed that air and missile strikes completely destroyed ballistic missile and drone production factories, which were the weapons Iran relied on to threaten its neighbors. He clarified that the losses suffered by Tehran are severe and unprecedented, leading to a complete paralysis of its offensive and defensive capabilities alike.

In the context of his discussion about energy, the US President noted that the United States no longer needs Middle Eastern oil thanks to self-sufficiency, but it continues its military operations to protect its strategic allies. He affirmed that regional stability remains a priority for the American administration to ensure the flow of global trade and protect common interests with allied nations.

Trump reviewed his policies regarding the nuclear file, recalling that since taking office, he sought to prevent Tehran from acquiring atomic weapons by all available means. He indicated that his decision to terminate the previous nuclear agreement was necessary to stop the flow of funds that former President Barack Obama had given to the regime, which were used to finance subversive activities.

Trump reported that the Iranian naval force had been completely destroyed, indicating that the military mission there is nearing its end and will be completed very quickly. He explained that the Iranian regime rejected all opportunities to abandon its nuclear ambitions and was planning to develop long-range missiles capable of directly targeting American territory.

The US President affirmed that the primary goal of the extensive military operation is to eliminate the destructive power of the regime and prevent it from blackmailing neighboring countries. He stressed that Iran has proven to be an untrustworthy party, and that its acquisition of nuclear weapons would have represented a catastrophe whose consequences for the entire world are unimaginable.

The speech touched upon the economic situation, where Trump affirmed that Iran has ended militarily and economically due to sanctions and successive strikes that targeted the state's vital points. He sent a message to the countries benefiting from the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that the responsibility for securing the waterway primarily lies with those who benefit from it commercially.

Trump promised to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international navigation immediately after the remaining military operations are completed, affirming that oil prices will stabilize and return to their normal levels. He explained that Washington has a clear plan to end the state of tension in vital waterways after definitively neutralizing the Iranian threat.

In a strongly worded threat, Trump said that Washington would deliver very harsh strikes over the next three weeks to return Iran to the 'Stone Age' if it attempted to resist. He affirmed that previous American wars may have taken a long time, but this war will be very short and decisive to end the Iranian threat forever.

It is worth noting that the military escalation led by the United States and Israel against Iran began in late February, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people and the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In response, Tehran continues its attempts to retaliate by launching missiles towards Israeli targets and American bases in the region, leading to an unprecedented full-scale confrontation.

We have practically changed the regime in Iran by eliminating first and second-tier leaders, and now we have more moderate leaders there.
