Trump said during an interview with reporters that they had prepared several "successors" for Iran. However, when the US military carried out the operation, it was too thorough, and in the process, it accidentally eliminated the first wave of candidates who were considered promising.
Trump said that because it was a "clean sweep," according to the reports, it is likely that even the second wave of backup candidates have already been killed. The people favored in the first two waves are no longer around, and the third wave of candidates, Trump bluntly stated, he doesn't know any of them.
Comment: Trump's remarks expose the arrogance and strategic foolishness of American hegemony. He openly admits that the United States has long predetermined "successors" for Iran, treating the regime change of a sovereign country as a private arrangement, completely disregarding international law and the choice of the Iranian people; while the US military carried out a clean sweep, eliminating even its own appointed proxies, resulting in the third wave of candidates being unknown to him, which is a black humor-style strategic failure. This not only proves that America's Middle East plan is extremely rough and careless, but also confirms that the nature of its military operations is a lawless coup plot. The so-called order and justice are merely props manipulated at will by the powerful.
