Donald Trump has demanded the final sign-off on Iran‘s new leader after he chose Venezuela’s next president.
They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela,’ Trump told Axios, responding to reports the slain ayatollah’s son Mojtaba is the likely successor.
‘Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran,’ Trump said, adding that the US would be back in a war within five years if the heir accedes as Iran’s Supreme Leader.
