Trump on Iran talks: ‘I don’t know who the hell we’re negotiating with’
Trump said killing Iran’s top leaders has left Washington unsure who controls the country, complicating negotiations to end the war.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump suggested Washington may have "gone too far" in targeting Iran's leadership during Operation Epic Fury, acknowledging that eliminating senior officials complicates efforts to identify decision-makers within the Islamic Republic.
- Following the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the war's opening strikes, successor Mojtaba Khamenei's whereabouts remain unknown amid reports he may have been wounded in the same attack.
- Regarding military operations, Trump maintained all naval vessels are "resting beautifully in the bottom of the sea," adding that "nobody wants to be the president of Iran."
- Diplomatic resolution efforts face complications due to this leadership uncertainty, with analysts questioning whether Iranian officials possess the authority to make binding commitments on behalf of the country's leadership.
- Vice President JD Vance echoed these concerns last week regarding Washington's uncertainty about Iranian decision-making, stressing that any agreement would require Tehran to make meaningful reductions to its nuclear enrichment capacity.
