Hours after Iran's assembly of senior clerics chose Mojtaba Khamenei, 56-year-old son of the recently killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the new supreme
leader of the country, the US President in his first reaction to the development, said that he was not happy with the decision. Notably, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the US and Israeli's coordinated airstrikes on Iran on February 28. "I am not happy," Trump told Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade. Meanwhile, according to a report by The Times of Israel, when contacted, TRump refused to respond about Mojtaba's appointment as Iran's next Supreme Leader. "We'll see what happens," the US President had told the Israeli media outlet. While answering a question by The Times of Israel, Trump stated that the decision to end the Iran war will be taken only after discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Praising Netanyahu, the US President said, that Iran would have destroyed Israel if he and the Israeli PM had not been around. "I think it’s mutual… a little bit. We’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account,” the US President told the Israeli media house. Notably, the conflict in the Middle East entered day 10 on Monday, with the US and Israel continuing to carry out airstrikes on Iran. Meanwhile, Iran is also targeting US military bases and oil facilities in the Gulf nations, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. More To Follow....)
