Trump Military Intervention Fails to Trigger Iranian Regime Change

President Donald Trump initiated a military intervention in Iran using air and naval power to end the country's nuclear ambitions and achieve regime change. The campaign resulted in the destruction of parts of the Iranian navy and a reduction in the nation's missile capacity, including the elimination of some senior officials.

Despite these tactical losses, the Iranian regime remains entrenched and continues to maintain control over its nuclear materials and the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continues to launch attacks, while the government persists in providing support to Hezbollah and increasing the persecution of Christians.

Critics describe the intervention as a failure, noting that it was launched without a clear strategy or congressional approval. They argue that the regime's sustainable succession planning has left the leadership stable, resulting in a loss of international prestige for the United States while the Iranian government remains in power.
