President Trump said that he needs to be personally involved in selecting Iran’s next leader — just as he was in Venezuela, Axios reports.
He acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei, is the most likely successor — while making clear he finds that outcome unacceptable.
Said Trump: “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy in Venezuela.”
