Trump Says He's Not Looking to Topple Iranian Leadership - Bloomberg:

U.S. President Donald Trump said he isn’t pursuing regime change in Iran and his main goal is to ensure the Gulf country won’t develop nuclear weapons.

Iran “has a chance to be a great country with the same leadership,’’ Trump said at a joint press conference in Tokyo on Monday alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “We are not looking for regime change. I just want to make that clear.’’ 

Iranian officials have said that the raft of U.S. sanctions against their country, which was tightened last month, is aimed at fueling popular dissent in an effort to topple the leadership.
