“It is our armed forces that decide the endgame of any war,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard spokesman, 2nd Brig.
Reuters cited two U.S. sources Thursday saying Mr. Trump wanted to create conditions for “regime change,” but had not yet decided on a military path.
Before the protest crackdown, Mr. Trump said Iran would be “hit very hard” if protesters were killed.
After they were crushed, he posted: “Iranian Patriots, keep protesting – take over your institutions!!!
“‘Help is coming,’ but when?”In his Wednesday warning, Mr. Trump did not mention the protests or the death toll.
