Donald Trump speaks on Iran's new leader: Our approval is a must!

Following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel operation in Iran, it was announced that the country's new leader has been determined but their name is being withheld for security reasons. Iranian officials stated that the leader's identity would not be disclosed to the public at this stage, pointing to potential security threats within the country.

TOUGH MESSAGES FROM TRUMP

US President Donald Trump, in an interview with ABC News, suggested that the new leader in Iran could only remain in office if they receive his approval. Trump said, "If they don't get our approval, they won't be able to stay in office for long. We don't want to have to come back every 10 years. Because if you don't have a president like me, there won't be anyone to do this." Reiterating that he does not want an Iran with nuclear weapons, Trump emphasized that stability must be maintained in the region.

Regarding the recent military operations, Trump claimed that Iran was involved in a plan that threatened the entire Middle East. Trump stated, "They are paper tigers. A week ago, they weren't, and they were preparing to attack. Their plan was to attack the entire Middle East, to take over the entire Middle East."

''WE SANK 44 NAVY SHIPS''

The US President also discussed the details of the military interventions against Iran. Trump stated that his country had sunk 44 Iranian navy ships and neutralized their air force and communication systems. "We had to use this circuitous route. I knew exactly what the circuitous route would bring. But the nice part is, we sank 44 of their ships, which is their entire navy. We neutralized their entire air force. We disabled all communication and telecommunication systems. Their anti-aircraft systems are gone. They have no defense left. All they can do is talk," he said.

Describing the rise in oil prices as a "minor glitch," Trump argued that the military operation was progressing faster than anticipated. Avoiding a clear prediction regarding the duration of the war, Trump said, "I don't know. I never make predictions. I can only say that we are ahead of schedule in terms of both lethality and time." He also recalled that he had previously predicted to reporters that this conflict would last 4-5 weeks.
