Iran mocked the United States after Donald Trump’s administration saw major military leadership upheaval, including the sudden removal of Army Chief Randy George by Pete Hegseth amid the ongoing West Asia war. The Pentagon confirmed George’s immediate retirement, alongside other senior dismissals. Iranian officials ridiculed the shake-up as a “regime change,” amplifying criticism online. The firings come as US military operations intensify, primarily led by naval and air forces, with ground troops being deployed. Analysts suggest internal disagreements over a potential Iran ground invasion may have influenced decisions, though no official reason was provided by Washington. (PC: X)
