The Iraq war rationale shifted - and pundits made up their own - but not hourly.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said today that the US strikes on Iran is not meant to be “regime change,” while he acknowledged that the leadership in the country has changed.
“This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change and the world is better off for it,” Hegseth said.
President Donald Trump has, however, pushed for regime change.
