Iran, Trump: ‘I must be involved in choosing the new leader’

Washington (USA), 5 March (LaPresse) – Donald Trump wants to be involved in choosing the next Iranian leader. “They are wasting time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, as with Delcy in Venezuela,‘ the American president told Axios, referring to President Delcy Rodriguez, who succeeded Nicolas Maduro after his capture by US forces. Donald Trump, while considering it likely, considers the choice of Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei, as the next Iranian leader ’unacceptable”. ‘Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me. We want someone who will bring harmony and peace to Iran,’ the White House chief pointed out. A new Iranian leader who continues Khamenei’s policies would force the United States back into war ‘in five years,’ Trump added.
