Trump Embraces Neocon Regime‑Change War

A clear reversal: a president who campaigned to end regime‑change interventions has launched a broad, declared mission of regime overthrow against Iran—invoking classic neocon slogans and aligning closely with Israeli strategic aims. The move collapses campaign anti‑intervention rhetoric into active use of massive military force, with uncertain aims and no public exit plan. — If sustained, this shift reshapes U.S. grand strategy, stabilizes a neoconservative foreign‑policy coalition, and will ripple across alliance politics, recruitment, domestic polarization and the risk of regional escalation.
