Trump Spent Years Denouncing U.S. Intervention. Now He’s Toppling Foreign Leaders.

The operation in Iran marked a sharp reversal for a president whose political rise was fueled in part by American fatigue with regime change

In front of a packed chamber of Arab leaders last May, President Trump declared that the era of American-led regime change was over. 

“In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built,” he said in Riyadh, deriding the “Western interventionalists giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs.”

Nine months later, he launched the largest U.S. military operation the region had seen in two decades and urged Iranians to “take over” their government, backed by U.S. force. The military said Sunday that three American troops were killed in the operation, and five others seriously wounded.
