President Trump held a press conference on Monday, where he spoke about the new leader of Iran and did not rule out killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has been chosen to succeed the elder Khamenei.
This comes amid reports that Mojtaba Khamenei may already be in the crosshairs of Israel, which has already threatened to kill whoever is chosen as supreme leader.
At the start of the press conference, Trump outlined his requirements for a new leader of Iran, saying he’s not going to approve of someone who will remain peaceful for future presidents.
WATCH:
Trump: We’re ahead of our initial timeline by a lot. I would say that we probably would not have thought after a month we’d be here, in addition to the fact that we’ve taken out the leadership twice and maybe three times. And we, as you know, we want to be involved. We don’t want another president that maybe wouldn’t be willing to do what I’m willing to do for the good of the world, for the good of our nation, to be stuck with the situation in five years or 10 years from now.
