'Why Wouldn’t There Be A Regime Change?' Trump's Message For Iran
President Trump hints at regime change in Iran after U.S. airstrikes destroy key nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan during Operation Midnight Hammer. Tehran warned of harsher action.
In a bold and high-stakes move over the weekend, the United States launched a massive airstrike against three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites, sparking international concern and raising questions about the future of U.S.-Iran relations. In the aftermath, President Donald Trump suggested that regime change in Tehran may be inevitable if Iran’s leadership cannot “Make Iran Great Again.”
“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 Sunday, following the coordinated assault.
Precision Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Infrastructure
Trump announced Saturday that U.S. forces had successfully carried out strikes on three major nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—claiming the sites were “totally and completely obliterated.”
“If they [Iran] do not make peace, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,” the President warned. “For 40 years, Iran has been saying ‘Death to America, Death to Israel.’” He added that “many targets” still remain in the region and cautioned Tehran that any retaliation would provoke “force far greater than what was witnessed tonight.”
Inside Operation Midnight Hammer
The unprecedented assault, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, involved over 125 military aircraft, including stealth bombers and a sophisticated deception maneuver aimed at preserving the element of surprise. The mission, which began late Friday and extended into Saturday morning, marks one of the most significant U.S. military actions in the Middle East in recent years.
According to General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the main strike force featured seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, each with a two-member crew. The bombers carried Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, each weighing roughly 30,000 pounds, designed to penetrate deep into fortified underground bunkers.
“The main strike package comprised of seven B-2 Spirit bombers, each with two crew members, proceeded quietly to the east with minimal communications throughout the 18-hour flight,” Caine explained during a Sunday press briefing.
As part of a carefully orchestrated diversion, a separate contingent of aircraft flew westward over the Pacific Ocean, creating a decoy flight path meant to mislead Iranian defenses.
Tomahawk Missiles and Stealth Tactics
The operation, which officially began at 6:40 p.m. ET and concluded by 7:05 p.m. ET, included the launch of more than two dozen Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles from a U.S. submarine targeting surface infrastructure at the Isfahan site.
Meanwhile, the lead B-2 bomber dropped the first bunker buster bombs on Fordow at exactly 6:40 p.m. ET, followed by subsequent strikes on Natanz and Isfahan within the 25-minute window. According to Caine, the bombers cleared Iranian airspace without incident.
This is the first time the United States has deployed such overwhelming force against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in the current regional conflict. While the strikes were executed with surgical precision, their impact reverberates far beyond the targets.
The timing, intensity, and messaging behind the operation suggest a calculated shift in Washington’s strategy toward Iran—one that leaves open the question of what comes next.
