United States President Donald Trump has announced sweeping US-led military strikes on Iranian targets, framing them as the opening salvo of a regime-change war aimed at dismantling Tehran’s missile program, naval forces, and leadership.
He called on ordinary Iranians and even Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to rise up and overthrow the government, warning that the moment may never come again.
“When we are finished, take over your government, it will be yours to take.
“This will probably be your only chance for generations,” said Trump.
The strikes, which Trump described as a “decisive blow to the regime,” target Iran’s nuclear ambitions, ballistic missiles, and naval assets.
He acknowledged the risk of American casualties but emphasised the operation’s necessity, aligning with decades of US critiques over Iran’s nuclear program and human rights abuses.
Trump went further by explicitly endorsing an internal uprising, bypassing diplomatic channels in favour of popular revolt amid what he called the regime’s “weakened leadership.”
