US President Donald Trump today, June 23, 2025, at 00:10 Eastern European Time, in his post on a social network, allowed for the possibility of a change of power in Iran, avoiding the direct term “regime change” as politically incorrect.

"If the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again (MIGA!), then why not consider an alternative?" " he wrote, hinting at potential changes in Tehran following the recent US strikes on nuclear facilities.

The statement came amid criticism from Russia, China and the UN, which condemned the US actions.

The strikes on Sunday night on sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan using precision bombs and B-2 aircraft were a continuation of Israeli operations against Iran's nuclear program. Iran responded with missile attacks on Israeli cities, raising tensions. At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, Russia's permanent representative Vasily Nebenzya called the US actions "irresponsible, dangerous and provocative", accusing Washington of violating international law to maintain hegemony. "The US has opened Pandora's box, and the consequences may be unpredictable," he warned.

China's UN envoy backed that position, saying the US strikes had "damaged the US's reputation" and caused significant damage to Iran.

The situation in the region remains tense. According to AFP, Iran is strengthening the IRGC's position in the Strait of Hormuz, deploying new Zolfaghar missile systems in Hormozgan province, as recorded by ImageSat International satellites.
