US President Donald Trump lashed out at the New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman for her book “Regime Change”. He labelled her a "third-rate writer" and a "sleazebag writer for the failing New York Times". He claimed that “the exact opposite of anything she says is usually the truth”. He referred to her as “Maggot Haberman” and called the book “fake news”. The New York Times reporter has been covering Trump for nearly two decades, even before he was elected to office for his first term.“Based on a very quick and boring briefing concerning the Magot Hagerman book about me, it is mostly made up, Fake News, largely fiction, as have been most of the things she has written about me for so many years. She is a third-rate writer and intellect, who has made a first-rate income because of your favourite President, ME,” Trump unleashed.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/180-million-year-old-fossilised-microbes-discovered-morocco-1782642776192">Scientists discover 180-million-year-old fossilised microbes in Morocco's deep sea</a>He then went on with his familiar state of grievances, “She was wrong about me in the Elections, although she knew I was going to win BIG! She was wrong about me on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and she was wrong about me on just about everything else." He continued, as far as to address the rumours of secret tapes of the situation room meeting, which the White House official feared Maggie must have accessed based on the details of the writing.&nbsp;“REMEMBER, I WON THE ELECTION, BIG - ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, THE POPULAR VOTE, 86% of the Counties…And they don’t have the audio tapes that they imply they have.

Shocked by the granular level of detail, a White House source told Axios reporters, "We're afraid some of our most sensitive conversations were being recorded… And we have no idea which ones." Even Vice President JD Vance said that he was “legitimately worried” about Situation Room tapes being given to the journalists.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The United States is seeking regime change in Iran, President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday in a speech broadcast on state TV.

US is seeking regime change in Iran: Rouhani

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said regime change in Iran was not a policy Britain should pursue and that any change would not necessarily be for the better.

Johnson made the comments in parliament on Tuesday in response to a question about whether he thought John Bolton, the US&nbspNational Security Advisor, was seeking regime change in Tehran.

"I have to tell you that I do not believe that regime change in Tehran is the objective that we should be seeking," Johnson said.

"We might conceivably achieve regime change at some stage in the near future but I cannot with any confidence say that would be a change for the better because it seems equally plausible to me to imagine that Qasem Soleimani of the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps) could put himself in a very good position to take over from Ayatollah Khamenei for instance."
