Retired US Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, a former special envoy for Ukraine, called on Sunday for American intelligence agencies to help Iranians overthrow the Islamic Republic, while backing President Donald Trump's economic and military pressure campaign against Tehran.

Speaking on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, Kellogg said Trump should authorize intelligence operations aimed at supporting Iranians seeking political change.

"What I would like to see the president do ... is create what's called a presidential finding, which actually tells our intelligence community, okay, go help the Iranian people because they probably need help to overthrow this government," Kellogg said.

He emphasized that he was not part of the administration's current decision-making circle and praised Trump's strategy of maintaining pressure on Iran without immediately resuming large-scale military strikes.

Kellogg also warned against allowing Iran to rebuild its nuclear facilities, arguing that Tehran could eventually resume efforts to develop nuclear weapons.

Kellogg, who served as Trump's special envoy for Ukraine until late 2025, is now co-chair of the Center for American Security at the America First Policy Institute.
