US EditionTrump says ‘someone from within’ Iranian regime might be best choice to take power
Trump said a leader from inside Iran’s regime might best avoid a repeat of past rule after the killing of Supreme Leader Khamenei, noting many potential successors were killed.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump at a White House meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he preferred 'somebody from within' the Iranian regime to take over after the military campaign.
- The killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei created a sudden power vacuum in Tehran after U.S. and Israeli forces killed him in the opening salvoes, and Trump acknowledged many considered successors were killed.
- As outlined in Iran's constitution, the interim leadership council formed on Sunday to govern while the 88-member Assembly of Experts must soon choose a new supreme leader amid expected elite infighting.
- The campaign's regional fallout forced embassy closures and evacuations as U.S. and Israeli strikes spread across the Gulf and Lebanon, while Iran reported 787 deaths and oil rose nearly eight per cent above $US83 per barrel.
- Trump framed the campaign around four explicit objectives and said the operation could last several weeks as U.S. military continues large-scale combat operations with expected casualties.
