"No, we're not thinking about nuclear weapons."

"We have no intention of obtaining these weapons at all."

"Iran doesn't have nukes, isn't building nukes, and hasn't made the decision to build nukes."

"Iran doesn't have a bomb, and doesn't appear to be trying to make a bomb."

"They are definitely going for a nuclear weapon there is no question."

"They can have [a nuclear weapon], you know, in a matter of months, I would say."

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon "within a few months, less than a year."

"Current and former U.S. officials say they see little sign, at least so far, of a mass popular uprising in Iran or of significant fissures within the government or security forces that will result in a new regime."

"There is an 11% chance that the Iranian government will lose power before 2027."

"There is an 8.9% chance that the Iranian regime will collapse and Reza Pahlavi will become head of state before January 1, 2027."

"There is an 19% chance that the Iranian regime will fall before 2027."

"Regime change is possible but unlikely."

"In any case, the Islamic Republic faces a significant challenge, and its long-term survival is not assured."

“The regime cannot continue that long.”

"Regime collapse or irreversible degradation is more likely than regime survival (65% likelihood)."

"If Trump sees it through, and I think he will, I think they're [going to] fall pretty soon, in two, three, four weeks."

"I think the regime will collapse before Iranian New Year (Nowruz), which is March 20th."

Will the Islamic Republic of Iran Experience Regime Collapse by 2027?

U.S. Central Command and Saudi Arabian forces conducted joint precision strikes Tuesday against Iran-aligned militia logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq, citing more than 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks by Iran-aligned militants over the preceding 72 hours.

U.S. Central Command and Saudi Arabian forces conducted joint precision strikes Tuesday against Iran-aligned militia logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq, citing more than 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks by Iran-aligned militants over the preceding 72 hours.

Earlier on Tuesday, Iran's IRGC launched ballistic missiles in what the U.S. military described as an "attempted surprise attack" on American forces in the Middle East, with all missiles successfully intercepted. The IRGC said it targeted a U.S. airbase and Central Command center in Jordan.

Saudi Arabia's defence ministry condemned the strikes, saying its air defences intercepted drones targeting petroleum facilities in the country's eastern region, while a Gulf official said the Abqaiq oil processing complex sustained only minor damage. Iraqi militias denied any involvement.

Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces said eight of its members were killed and four wounded in the joint Saudi-U.S. strikes. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered security agencies to investigate the drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and was expected to travel to Riyadh on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the IRGC said it struck three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, saying the vessels had ignored warnings and continued along what it described as an unsafe route. Oil prices rose more than 4% on concerns over potential disruptions to energy shipments through the strait.

This comes as Iran rejected Oman's proposal for joint regional management of the Strait of Hormuz, scuppering hopes of resolving the months-long impasse that has choked Gulf trade. Oman had proposed a regional deal to resolve the dispute over the strategic waterway.

Venezuela summoned Iran's ambassador in Caracas to protest remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said "this is not Venezuela" in an apparent reference to the U.S. capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and the subsequent shift in Caracas-Washington relations.

The US-Saudi strikes on Iraq are just more proof that Washington's military strategy is backfiring — Iran's IRGC still has full control of the Strait of Hormuz, and depleted American munitions stockpiles mean the Pentagon is literally rationing which missiles to intercept. Houthis hit Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq facility anyway, exposing how little these retaliatory strikes actually deter. The US failed to warn Gulf partners before attacking Iran, leaving allies exposed while protecting only American and Israeli assets.

The US-Saudi joint strikes on July 28 were a direct, justified response to over 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks in 72 hours and more than 600 attempted attacks on American citizens and facilities since February. Iran's regime brutalizes its own people — executing protesters and hanging dissidents — while directing terrorist proxies across the region to destabilize US allies and block critical global shipping lanes. Precision strikes on IRGC logistics and weapons sites in Iraq are exactly the kind of firm, coordinated action needed to stop this aggression.
