Trump: "They're Wasting Their Time - I Will Choose the Next Leader of Iran"

Donald Trump stated that he should personally participate in the selection of the next leader of Iran, as he did in Venezuela, rejecting Mojtaba Khamenei as a potential successor. The statement comes during a period of uncertainty regarding the succession in Iran, with the regime delaying the announcement of the new supreme leader. Trump expressed concern that a new leader following Khamenei's policies would lead to a new war with the US. Trump's intervention is considered unusual and exacerbates the uncertainty surrounding the US military campaign. He also recalls the US involvement in Venezuela, where Vice President Delcy Rodriguez took power after the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, and mentions the economic benefits the country gained from the situation.
