Iran accuses the U.S. of using its nuclear program as a pretext for changing its regime.


The Bush Administration plans to launch a sustained campaign aimed at initiating regime change in Iran, as part of the U.S.’s efforts to step up pressure on Tehran over its nuclear program, The Washington Post reported on Monday.

Board members of Stanford University's Hoover Institution, who met two weeks ago with President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and national security adviser Stephen Hadley, told The Post that the administration had shifted to a more robust policy against the Iranian government.

“The message that we received is that they are in favor of separating the Iranian people from the regime," said Esmail Amid-Hozour, an Iranian American businessman who serves on the Hoover board.
