Trump’s endgame in Iran: Regime change without US ‘boots on the ground’
AI Summary
Following the start of a US-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran in March 2026, President Trump stated his aim was "freedom for the people," leading analysts to believe the US seeks regime change in Iran. Experts question the feasibility of achieving this goal through air power alone, citing the lack of a significant ground force to challenge the Iranian government. While Trump has called on Iranians to overthrow their government, no organized opposition appears capable of doing so. Analysts note that air power alone has rarely achieved regime change, and while the US hasn't ruled out ground troops, it would contradict Trump's stated preference and increase risks to American forces. The situation raises questions about the true objectives and potential outcomes of the US-led intervention.
