Murad Vaisi, Iran International's senior analyst, said: "Will the overthrow of the Islamic Republic become Trump's political legacy, or will he leave at the end of his term a worn-out government and a destroyed infrastructure? ".
Trump said that if Iran's current rulers are still in power when they leave the White House, he will see it as a failure.
But does this mean striving for a change of government, or is Trump's goal to seriously weaken the Islamic Republic and leave it in a state that is bankrupt and unable to threaten the United States?
