US President Donald Trump has told aides that he will support the assassination of Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if he is not willing to surrender to US demands, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Among these demands is an end to the Iranian nuclear program, according to the newspaper, citing current and former American officials. The White House did not comment on the publication’s information.
Earlier in an interview with the New York Post, Trump said he was “unhappy” with the election of Khamenei as Iran’s leader. He described him as a “lightweight” and his election as a “mistake.” Trump also insisted that he should be involved in appointing Iran’s new leader after the country’s “unconditional surrender.” “I’m not going through all this until I end up with another Khamenei,” Trump told Time magazine.
Israel is likely to carry out an operation to assassinate Mojtaba Khamenei, who was elected on March 8, sources told the Wall Street Journal. According to them, Israel is the one playing the leading role in eliminating Iranian leaders. Thus, Israeli fighter jets carried out a raid that killed Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei’s father and predecessor as president of Iran, as well as Khamenei Jr.’s wife.
Mojtaba Khamenei is considered in Washington to be the successor to his father, who adheres to a hard line towards the United States. Wall Street Journal sources do not expect him to surrender to Washington, abandon making nuclear weapons, and begin negotiations to end the war on American terms.
