Trump Privately Says Hes Open To Killing New Iranian Leader
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/latest-news-live-updates_n_69ae9a51e4b0fe5c2e757cb8/liveblog_69af1f3ce4b0c722e1e6f06b
Unidentified U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that President Trump would support killing the new Iranian Supreme Leader if he doesnt comply with Trumps demands.
The new leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, was appointed by Iranian clerics last Sunday after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a U.S. and Israeli airstrike a little more than a week ago.
Trump told Fox News over the weekend that hes not happy with Khamenei and said he believes he should get to pick Iran's new leader.
In separate comments to CBS News White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang, Trump said he has someone in mind to replace Khamenei but didnt elaborate.
