Former CIA Director David Petraeus said if the Trump administration decides to carry out strikes on Iran amid escalating tensions and threats between President Trump and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it “will not bring about regime change, sadly.”
The retired general said in an interview that aired Sunday on the “Cats Roundtable” radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM that Khamenei is “such an ideologue, he’s so hard-lined, that it appears that he may not budge on the issues that really matter,” which could prompt Trump to take military action.
“Look, candidly, I’m all for taking the missile program down further or [bringing] damage to the security forces, but we should be very clear-eyed,” Petraeus said. “This will not bring about a regime change, sadly.”
