Bolton reaffirms U.S. not seeking regime change in Iran

"Just to be clear, regime change in Iran is not American policy.

U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton reaffirmed on Wednesday that the United States was not seeking a change of government in Iran.

"Just to be clear, regime change in Iran is not American policy. But what we want is a massive change in the regime's behavior," Bolton told a news conference in Jerusalem, where he has held talks with Israeli leaders.

Bolton, who has in the past suggested the U.S. government should push for a change in government in Iran, said in May that that was not part of the Trump administration's policy. (Reporting by Jeffrey Heller; editing by John Stonestreet)
