What “Regime Change” Really Looks Like in Iran

Donald Trump and members of his administration have suggested that what happened in Iran amounts to “regime change.”

Let’s break down the reality:

1. Leadership did not collapse it was replaced.
Khamenei was already old and reportedly ill. Instead of a natural transition, he was killed, and the regime immediately reframed him as a martyr. Power didn’t disappear it was reinforced.

2. The new leadership is more radical.
The old Khamenei has been replaced by a younger figure who is far more hardline, more aggressive, and more dangerous in both policy and action.

3. Repression has intensified dramatically.
Under the previous leadership, executions of opposition members reportedly occurred every two weeks. Now, they are described as happening every single morning at 5 a.m. a shift from periodic brutality to systematic terror.

4. Power has become more opaque and unpredictable.
The previous Khamenei governed visibly and cautiously. The new leadership operates from hiding—making it more extreme, less accountable, and far more dangerous.

5. Protesters are worse off than before.
Donald Trump was expected by some to support Iranian protesters. Instead, they now face daily repression, increased executions, and greater risks than ever.

6. Economic pressure is crushing the population.
The worsening economic crisis is hitting low-income Iranians the hardest including those most likely to protest making resistance even more difficult.

7. Military strikes did not dismantle the regime.
The U.S. and Israel destroyed infrastructure, but from the perspective of ordinary Iranians, the system of power remains intact just more radical.

8. The regime’s enforcement capacity is still massive.
Roughly 2,000 IRGC members may have been killed, but with Basij forces included, nearly one million regime-aligned personnel remain capable of suppressing any uprising.

9. “Regime change” has meant deeper instability not freedom.
For protesters, conditions are now harsher, risks are higher, and hope is fading faster than before.

Conclusion:
If this is what is being called “regime change,” then in reality, it has produced a more extreme, more repressive, and more dangerous system than the one it replaced.

A White House official said that U.S. commando forces, in a complex operation involving dozens of special forces troops, several fighter jets, and helicopters, rescued the missing crew member.
The rescued officer was transported to Kuwait to receive medical care.

🔹 In this high-risk military operation, airstrikes and heavy weapons fire were used to push Iranian forces away from the suspected location where the missing officer was being held. They added that the officer had only a personal weapon (a pistol) to defend himself during his captivity.

🔹 Two transport aircraft assigned to carry the rescue teams were unable to take off from a remote base in Iran. According to officials, these aircraft were destroyed to prevent them from falling into enemy hands, and the commandos left the area aboard three additional aircraft sent to extract them.

🔹 Three rescue aircraft departed from Iran to Kuwait at short intervals. Officials announced that the mission concluded shortly before midnight and that all U.S. forces had exited enemy airspace.

🔹 A senior official in the Trump administration also told CBS News that the CIA played a significant role in the rescue mission.

🔹 Before locating the missing fighter crew member, the CIA launched a deception campaign, spreading within Iran that U.S. forces had already found him and were transporting him overland to extract him from the country.

🔹 The official added that during the deception campaign, the agency successfully used its intelligence capabilities to track the crew member’s location in a mountainous valley.

🔹 The CIA then shared the precise location with the Pentagon and the White House. After that, the U.S. President issued an immediate order to carry out the rescue operation, and the agency continued providing real-time intelligence. —————————— Kurd Alarm reported this via Telegram at: http://t.me/KurdAlarm
