Trump demands control of choice of ‘next’ Iranian leader

Deranged and arrogant US president Donald Trump has demanded personal control over the choice of Iran’s ‘next’ leader.

Trump, who joined Israel in launching an illegal war on Iran on 28 February with the assassination of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, has said publicly that he “refuses to accept” a successor for Khamenei who would “continue Khamenei’s policies”. In other words, one who would continue to resist Israel’s regional hegemony instead of capitulating like rebranded ISIS killer Ahmed al-Sharaa in Syria.

Trump went on:

They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son [frontrunner Mojtaba Khamenei] is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela. Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran.

The idiot wants to ‘pick’ the new Supreme Leader as if it’s some beauty pageant.

Trump has continued to claim that Venezuela’s Rodriguez is now collaborating with him. However, Rodriguez insists that the Bolivarian revolution continues. She is considered an entrenched opponent of US domination — the old Venezuelan US puppet regime killed her father — and Trump’s posturing appears to be propaganda to cover the failure of his abduction of Nicolas Maduro to topple Maduro’s government.

Trump’s arrogance in assuming he can murder Iranians then decide who leads them is doubly arrogant given the Iranian military’s claim to have inflicted a loss of hundreds of sailors in a strike on a US aircraft carrier, and the massive damage Iran has inflicted on US military and commercial interests and its Israeli ally.

But if there’s anything Trump is known for beyond narcissism and Epstein-recorded paedophilia, it’s arrogance. So of course it’s no surprise.
