Trump asks why there would not be 'regime change' in Iran
WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday questioned the possibility of regime change in Iran following U.S. military strikes against key Iran military sites over the weekend. "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??? MIGA!!!" Trump wrote on his social media platform.

Starmer's Iran errors have humiliated UK & isolated us from key allies… it's shameful US & Israel had to go it alone
GOODBYE 'TACO', hello to 14 30,000lb Massive Ordnance Penetrators raining down from B-2 stealth bombers with deadly precision. The US President's critics' favourite line — that Trump Always Chickens Out — lasted about as long as an Iranian intelligence chief popping down the shops. 3 In just eight days, Israel and the US have dismantled the Mad Mullahs' military hierarchy and reduced their terrifying nuclear ambition to dust. Mossad has clearly filleted the inner workings of the Iranian state, able to assassinate its evil henchmen and their instant replacements at will. History will regard the sickening October 7 attack by Iran -backed Hamas as one of the biggest strategic cock-ups by a warmongering nation in history. Pretty pathetic Since that day in 2023, when 1,200 Israelis were killed with Iranian-funded weapons, fired by Iranian-trained militants, a snowballing retaliation has ripped through Iran's entire standing in the Middle East. First through the terrorist tunnels of Gaza, then the extraordinary exploding pagers literally decapitating Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. As Iran's proxy network unraveled at the sharp end of Israel's canny might, it has looked increasingly isolated from old chums China and Russia, who have not rushed to its aid. Now there are questions over the future of the regime in Tehran, as Israel's missiles and drones force them to cower in bunkers rather than stop the 92million citizens of the rogue state casting off the shackles of 46 years of Islamic tyranny. It was one helluva audacious strike by a tiny democracy on the menacing nearby dictatorship, ten times its size, that has spent decades vowing to wipe Israel off the map. It sparked a week of international hand-wringing, mind games, false flags, misdirection, social media diplomacy and shattered reputations. And then Saturday night's piece de resistance from the air, which saw President Trump come good on his long-standing pledge that Iran must never have a nuke. Warnings that Tehran was hell-bent on building a bomb have kept countless Presidents awake at night, but despite a wall of diplomatic bedwetting, finally one has taken action. And the mullahs only have themselves to blame. Trump gave Tehran 60 days to come to the table, but instead they continued to enrich uranium, stall for talks and attempt to continue their pernicious proxy war against Israel and the wider West. Given the implications for us all, it is shameful the US and Israel had to not only go it alone at this historic moment, but act in the face of public warnings to de-escalate from fellow world leaders such as Sir Keir Starmer. His watery Foreign Office drivel about the need to step back and return to a table — aka repeat the mistakes of the last 20 years — have left the UK isolated from, and distrusted by, two of its most important allies. Whether driven by naivety, misinformation or a slavish love of his Attorney General Lord Hermer, who decreed we may break the rules by helping out friends, Starmer's insistence 'that we need to de-escalate this' looks pretty pathetic as the world woke up safer yesterday morning to a nuclear-free Iran. And it was a misstep to declare publicly, on camera, having sat next to President Trump at dinner at the G7 in Canada last week, that there was 'nothing the President said that suggests he's about to get involved in this conflict'. Pushed that all signs were pointing to a US strike, the PM even doubled down, telling reporters: 'On the contrary, throughout the dinner, I was sitting right next to President Trump, so I've no doubt, in my mind, the level of agreement there was.' So either Trump misled him, or Starmer missed the art of the deal with the President playing mind games with the mullahs. Either way, it was a humiliation for Britain to be so out of the loop. Rough few days The UK has publicly hectored the US not to get involved, and appears to have made American bombers take the 40-hour long way round to Iran, rather than offer our support and services at our base in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean that could have shortened that trip dramatically. The Government insists no request for support was made, but it should have been offered before even needing to be asked. How naive Labour's arms embargoes on Israel and petty sanctions on its politicians also look now, however well it went down with their MPs scared of losing their seats to Gaza independents. For a PM who clearly enjoys the lure of the international stage far more than his unpopularity back home, it's been a rough few days. And as he gets back in his jet for the Nato summit tonight, he better be planning how to mend those bridges with the United States and Israel — and quick. It's one thing to lose friends at home, but unforgivable to lose them in such a weak manner abroad. A public 'well done and thank you' to our allies would not go amiss either. SWITCH over to the BBC and you would think they were covering a state funeral yesterday, with the sombre reporting of the destruction of three Iranian nuclear facilities. The attack came just days after limp-as-a-lettuce TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall took to the Beeb to demand Israel and the US leave poor Iran alone. Over on Sky News, you would have thought there was a moral equivalence to the democratically elected leader of the free world and the evil Ayatollah Khamenei. But the prize for clown coverage has to go to LBC's Lewis Goodall, who argued the Iranian dictatorship had the right to build the Bomb because Israel (a democracy) has one and those nice men in Tehran were actually the ones obeying all the international nuclear rules. Is there some pundit madrasah where they are brainwashing these jokers?
