Iran attacks U.S. targets despite Trump threats
Security chief Mohsen Rezaei warned the United States that Iran had adopted a "new strategy" in the war that "will shatter your foundations".
President Donald Trump has returned to the idea of regime change in Iran, asking why the Iranian people have not overthrown their leaders since the war began six months ago. The former president, who initially believed street protests would flare up following strikes, now wonders why his calls for government overthrow have gone unheeded.
Diplomacy with Iran has stalled, and Trump remains content with the current situation, which includes control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's collapsing economy. He has not been affected by the upcoming midterms, dismissing their potential influence on his Iran decision-making.
