If President Donald Trump could have his way, someone new would be ruling Iran.
During a North Carolina trip on Friday, the president — who has pursued a carrot-and-stick approach to Iran on its nuclear program — was asked if he wanted regime change in Iran.
“Seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” he said, according to theNew York Post.
“For 47 years, they’ve been talking and talking and talking. In the meantime, we’ve lost a lot of lives while they talk,” he said.
“Legs blown off, arms blown off, faces blown off. We’ve been going on for a long time. So let’s see what happens. Who would you want to take over?” Trump said.
Trump noted that the Middle East now has American military might that could attack Iran and defend American and allied positions.
“Tremendous power has arrived, and additional power, as you know, and other carriers going out shortly,” Trump said.
Earlier, Trump said he thought talks with Iran will “be successful.”
“And if they’re not, it’s going to be a bad day for Iran, very bad,” he said, according toThe Hill.
On Friday, the USS Gerald R. Ford, America’s newest aircraft carrier, was ordered to the Middle East, according toThe Washington Post.
