Trump Says He Must Choose Iran Next Leader, Calls Khamenei Son Unacceptable

President Donald Trump stated he must be involved in determining Iran next leader following Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei death in U.S.-Israeli strikes, calling Khamenei son Mojtaba a lightweight whose selection would be unacceptable. Trump said the administration would seek Iranian leadership committed to building the nation without nuclear weapons and bringing peace, while expressing support for potential Kurdish military operations against Iran and confidence that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open given Iran severely degraded navy.
