President Trump’s most recent position (as of February 28, 2026) is that the U.S. has begun a military operation against Iran with goals including “freedom” for Iranian people and regime change. This marks a shift from his earlier rhetoric that opposed new wars but has been broadly framed by his administration as preventing threats from Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump’s statements draw criticism from many sides over whether this reflects a “regime-change war,”
