Trump wants to choose Iran’s next Supreme Leader

President Trump wants to be involved in choosing Iran’s next supreme leader. Speaking to the Axios and Reuters news outlets, the president said he has to be involved in the appointment, like he was with the leader in Venezuela. He said he would refuse an Iranian leader who would continue the same policies and he ruled out the son of the late Ayatollah, calling him a “light weight.” The Pentagon has denied that the goal of the war against Iran is regime change, but the president’s comments may raise more questions about the military campaign’s objective.
