Senator Rick Scott has expressed support for a renewed US bombing campaign against Iran, stating that it could lead to faster regime change. The senator believes that until there is a change in the Iranian regime, the US and Israel will have to continue taking action to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
What happened
Scott made these comments in an interview, where he also noted that he does not know when another armed escalation with Iran might occur, but believes it will happen periodically until the regime is changed. He also expressed his concern about Iran's nuclear capabilities, stating that if Iran were to develop a nuclear weapon, it would pose a significant threat to the US and Israel.
The senator's comments come as President Donald Trump considers the timing of additional strikes against Iran. Trump had previously ruled out attacking Iran before the midterm elections, but has recently hinted at the possibility of using the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities.
