Regime change the ‘best thing’ for Iran, Trump saysBloombergUS President Donald Trump said regime change would be the best outcome for Iran, ratcheting up pressure on the Islamic republic in negotiations over its nuclear program as he builds up the US military presence in the region. “It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” Trump told reporters on Friday following an event at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Trump reiterated he wanted a suitable deal with Iran to avoid a similar strike. On Thursday, Trump told reporters the discussions with Iran could drag out for as long as a month. Trump said his talks with Netanyahu were “very good” and he told the Israeli leader his preference is to continue with negotiations for now.
