When a reporter asked Donald Trump back in March whether regime change was the goal in his campaign against Iran, his answer was pretty hard to forget. He had actually already regime changed Iran. Twice.
We're not quite sure about the maths there, but in the main, he actually seems to have been onto something, just not at all in the way that he intended it. The bombing campaign that was Operation Epic Fury killed many of the Islamic Republic's top guys, and the transition has been enormous.
Those new guys, though, are overwhelmingly the ones who were insisting that Iran's mistake in the first place was ever entertaining the idea that they could have negotiated with Washington.
