Charlie Kirk Ripping Iran Regime Change Resurfaces Amid Operation Epic Fury

Regime change is war. Just to understand, regime change is not like changing the head coach at the Chicago Bears…Typically in the Mideast, it's very messy, creates a quagmire.

My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, a short time ago, Israel and the United States embarked on an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran.
Abbas Araghchiiranian Foreign Minister
We do not understand the reasons for the U.S. attack on Iran. Perhaps the U.S. administration was dragged into it. Here is what I do know: Iran will punish those who kill our children. Our enmity is not with the American people, who are being lied to yet again."
