Trump Hints at Regime Change in Iran and Concluding Epic Fury Operation

President Donald Trump on Monday indicated that the U.S. is seeking regime change in Iran and the reopening of the Hormuz Strait as the endgame of the month-long epic fury operation. He warned of dire results for Iran if the U.S. couldn't attain both goals successfully. The United States of America is in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in Iran. Great progress has been made, but if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately open for business, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells and Karg Island and possibly all desalinization plants, which we have purposefully not yet touched, he wrote in a social media post. The president's statement came as an estimated over 50,000 troops have been deployed in the Middle East. It's unclear if Trump will still try to forcefully take Iran's enriched uranium if no deal is reached. Eliminating Iran's capacity to develop nuclear weapons is obviously one of the main objectives of the epic fury operation. According to a Wall Street Journal report, he is considering a military operation to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium from Iran, but hasn't made a decision.
