Trump claims there has been “total regime change” in Iran

President Trump claims there has been “total regime change” in Iran, because the U.S. is dealing with a “whole new set of people.”

“There has been total regime change because the regimes of the past are gone and we’re dealing with a whole new set of people,” Mr. Trump told the New York Post on Monday. “And thus far, they’ve been much more reasonable.”

The president hasn’t explicitly discussed who the U.S. is negotiating with. He did say the U.S. will soon find out whether the Trump administration will be able to work with Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

“We’re gonna find out,” he told the Post. “I’ll let you know that in about a week.”

The president said “nobody’s heard” from Iran’s named supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

“He’s very seriously injured,” the president told the Post.
