Kerry: Trump administration 'pursuing a policy of regime change' in Iran

Former Secretary of State John Kerry warned Tuesday that the Trump administration is pursuing "regime change" in Iran with his history of threats and disengagement toward Iran's government.

In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, the top diplomat under former President Obama said the Trump administration's decision in May to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement was an attempt to isolate the country and force major changes within Iran's government.

"And here's the reason the administration is trying to do this: They are pursuing a policy of regime change," Kerry says.

"And the United States of America, historically, does not do regime change very well," he continues.
