US President Donald Trump argued that the United States should play a direct role in the question of Iran’s next leader following the death of the country’s supreme leader.

According to Walter Bloomberg on the 5th (local time), Trump said in an interview, “The United States should be involved in who Iran’s next leader will be.” He added that Washington should guard against the emergence of a leader similar to the existing power elite.

He expressed a negative view of Mojtaba Khamenei, who is being cited as a leading successor to the supreme leader, saying, “Iran needs a leader who will bring harmony and peace, not someone who takes the country back to past policies.”

Trump also compared Iran’s succession situation to the case of Venezuela, underscoring his view that the United States should be actively involved in shifts in the Middle East’s political landscape. He went on to claim that US military operations are delivering results in the region, and also mentioned the possibility of military action by Western-backed Kurdish forces.
