President Trump on Tuesday backed away from talk of a regime change in Iran, amid pushback from MAGA supporters about the possibility of deeper U.S. involvement in the Middle East, The Hill reports.
Said Trump: “Regime change takes chaos and ideally we don’t want to see so much chaos. So we’ll see how it goes.”
He added that he wants to “see everything calm down as quickly as possible.”
