US-Iran latest: White House scrambles to clarify Trump’s ‘regime change’ posts after Tehran threat

--:--
The White House insists the President was “simply raising a question” after Donald
Trump suggested regime change in Tehran, claiming a U.S. strike removed a nuclear
bomb from Iran’s hands. Qatar closed its airspace following U.S. embassy warnings
of a potential Iranian response. Iran's military has vowed retaliation, calling the strike
a green light to target U.S. interests. The UN nuclear watchdog reports major
damage at Iran's Fordow facility. Phemelo gets expert analysis from Nuclear
Physicist and Chairman of Stratek Dr Kelvin Kemmand Professor Jeff Halper of the
Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions.
