Trump: ‘I must personally be involved in choosing Iran’s next leader’

In an interview with Axios, his second since the start of the war in Iran, US President Donald Trump said that he should be personally involved in choosing Iran’s next leader.

Trump has acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is the most likely successor, but he considers his candidacy unacceptable.

“They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a nonentity. I should be part of the appointment process, just like Delsey was in Venezuela,” Trump said, adding that Iran’s leader should be someone “who will bring peace and harmony to Iran.”
