Contradiction Between US Claims and Reality in Iran Conflict

Tehran The conflict between the United States and Iran in the West Asian desert has now reached a point where there is a great contradiction between claims and reality. Recently, US President Donald Trump claimed in an address to the nation that Iran's navy, air force, and nuclear infrastructure have been completely destroyed and that there has been a'regime change'in the country. According to Trump, after the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several top commanders, a new and'less radical'leadership has emerged. However, the evidence supporting these claims is extremely sparse internationally, and the old regime still seems to have a strong hold in the streets of Tehran. The reality is that there has been no major change in Iran's power centers. President Massoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf still hold their respective positions and the command of foreign policy is in the hands of Abbas Araghchi. In place of the US commanders who were killed in the attack, the Iranian regime's'position of authority'seems to be'more rigid '.
