President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have urged Iranians to topple their government
The US is not targeting Iranian leaders and is not trying to replace the Islamic Republic’s government, Representative Mike Turner has said.
The US and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials.
US President Donald Trump framed the attack, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, as retaliation for decades of grievances and as an opportunity for anti-government forces in Iran to seize control of the country – mirroring calls by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The president of the United States indicated that we were targeting the military, military infrastructure and not the regime, and not regime change,” Turner said on Sunday on CBS News’ ‘Face the Nation’.
