US President Donald Trump said on Jun 24 he does not want regime change in Iran, days after floating the idea.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to a Nato summit in the Netherlands, Trump was asked whether he believes the Iranian leadership may need to be replaced.

"No. If there was, there was, but no I don't want it," the US President said. "I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible."

He added: "Regime change takes chaos, and ideally we don't want to see so much chaos."
