Trump: "Without my approval, the new leader won't last long"!
Iran - Without Trump's permission, Iran's new leader won't last long. On March 8, Trump told ABC News in an interview that the next Iranian leader "won't have a long term if he doesn't get my approval."
The U.S. president warned: "He must get our approval. If he doesn't get our approval, his term won't last long." Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated that the successor to Ayatollah Ali Khomeini is chosen by "the Iranian people," and "others have no right to interfere." According to several members of the Assembly of Experts, the Iranian Supreme Leader was already elected by the institution on Sunday. However, the name of the elected leader has not been announced yet.
According to a report from AFP on the 8th, member of the Iranian Assembly of Experts Ahmad Alamolhoda said on Sunday morning that "the voting activity to elect the Iranian Supreme Leader has ended, and the leader has been selected," and added that the name of the leader would be announced later by the assembly secretariat. But after several hours, the name of the leader remained unknown.
The same report said that the members responsible for appointing the new leader confirmed this appointment, and one of them suggested that the new leader would be Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei.
Trump ruled out the possibility of Mojtaba Khamenei becoming the successor, stating that he must have a say in the selection of the Iranian Supreme Leader. On the 8th, Iran threatened that if Israel attacks its energy infrastructure, Iran will also attack oil facilities in the region.
