March 5, 2026
U.S. President Donald Trump expressed the need for his personal involvement in selecting the next leader of Iran, dismissing Khamenei's son as insignificant. He argued that such a succession would likely lead the U.S. back into war if the same policies continue. He also emphasized the desire for a leader who would create peace and harmony in Iran. Furthermore, he suggested that the Israeli president should grant clemency to Netanyahu. Trump indicated that he does not want anything to disturb Netanyahu except for the situation with Iran.
