Trump believes it has become easier to reach an agreement with Iran after Khamenei's death
U.S. President Donald Trump told CBS that, after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks, reaching an agreement with Iran was "much easier than a day ago." The U.S. and Israeli attacks led to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
When asked about the possibility of reaching a diplomatic solution after the attacks, Trump said: "It is obviously much easier than yesterday."
He also pointed out that the U.S. expects Iran to retaliate against the U.S.-Israel military attack and assured that Iran would "suffer heavy losses" in the military operation.
Saturday, the U.S. and Israel carried out a series of air strikes on targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian deaths. Iranian state TV confirmed that the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. Iran retaliated with missile strikes against Israeli territory and U.S. military facilities in the Middle East.
