Donald Trump has declared that a change in power in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen," as his administration considers military action against Tehran amidst the deployment of a second aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.
The comments were made shortly after Trump visited troops at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, and confirmed the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford. When asked about pressing for the ousting of Iran's Islamic clerical rule, Trump stated, "It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen. For 47 years, they’ve been talking and talking and talking."
