The US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley said Sunday that despite increased tension with Iran, the United States was not seeking regime change there or anywhere else, CNN reported.

"The United States is not looking to do regime change in Iran," Haley said on CNN's "State of the Union." "We're not looking to do regime change anywhere."

Haley praised Trump as "very strong on Iran" and described Iran as "desperate."

"Iran's economy has plummeted because the President pulled out of the deal," Haley said.
