Trump: Overthrowing Iran Regime 'Very Big Hurdle' as US Deploys Marines
•US President Donald Trump, after previously urging Iranians to rise up, now states overthrowing the government is a 'very big hurdle' for unarmed people.
•The comments come as the US reportedly dispatched 2,200 Marines on three navy ships to the Middle East, indicating a possible escalation of the 15-day Iran war.
•Trump believes Iran's leadership remains largely intact despite US-Israeli bombardment, and regime change, if it happens, won't be immediate.
•He suspects Russian President Vladimir Putin might be helping Iran and claims nearly 90% of Iran's missiles and drones have been destroyed.
•Trump also commented on Mojtaba Khamenei's status and stated there's no current plan to recover highly enriched uranium from Iran.
