President Donald Trump voiced confidence that the Iranian people would rise up to replace their government following American and Israeli military strikes — but added in an interview aired Friday that it may not happen straight away.

“I really think that’s a big hurdle to climb for people that don’t have weapons. I think it’s a very big hurdle… It’ll happen, but it probably will be, maybe not immediately,” Trump told Fox News Radio.
