Iranian envoy says military is considering ‘proportionate’ response

by TheHill.com
President Trump suggested Sunday afternoon that Iranians may push for a regime change after the U.S. bombing of its key nuclear sites.
“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???” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “MIGA!!!”
Meanwhile, Iran’s envoy to the U.N. told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council that it called after U.S. strikes on three of its nuclear facilities that “Iran had repeatedly warned the warmongering U.S. regime to refrain from stumbling into this quagmire.”
Trump administration officials on Sunday sought to contain the response to U.S. strikes on Iran a day earlier, saying the administration would not let Iran become a nuclear power but was not looking for a wider war or regime change in that country.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in comments Sunday morning said now was the time for peace and that the U.S. did not want regime change, while Vice President Vance said the U.S. was at war with Iran’s nuclear program and not the country itself.

Iranian television on Sunday reported that the country’s parliament had approved a measure to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route that could have serious implications for both the global and U.S. economy. The strait lies between Iran and Oman.
