Trump Announces Regime Change, Urges Iranians to DIY Their Revolution
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump announced overnight operations with Israel aiming to destroy Iran’s military capabilities and encourage regime change.
- •Trump urged Iranian civilians to remain indoors during bombings and later to take over their government for what he called a rare opportunity.
- •The U.S. deployed a massive military buildup including two aircraft carriers and hundreds of warplanes despite warnings of prolonged conflict risks.
In a plot twist hotter than a jalapeño at a Texas BBQ, Trump and Israel launched 'major combat operations' against Iran overnight, aiming to vaporize missiles, the navy, and maybe their missile industry’s Yelp page. This kinetic TikTok included showing 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei (maybe) who’s boss, while Trump warned Iranians to stay home and commandeer their government afterwards because, quote, 'this might be your only chance for generations.' His usual squad—Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner—shuttled between nuclear talks and military buildup, juggling two aircraft carriers and hundreds of missiles, just in case diplomacy was too slow for cable news. Meanwhile, generals warned of getting stuck in a ‘prolonged conflict,' but hey, at least missile strikes are Instagrammable.
