US President Donald Trump said he was unhappy with Iran’s choice of a new supreme leader and said the country’s new leader “cannot live in peace.”
“I don’t believe he can live in peace,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News, referring to Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ali Khamenei who has been installed as Iran’s new supreme leader.
Trump also praised the early results of the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, saying the outcome had been “way beyond expectation.”
Trump praises early results of strikes on Iran
Trump said the joint operation, launched on Feb. 28, had already destroyed thousands of targets.
He said US forces had knocked out roughly half of Iran’s missiles in the opening strike, which he described as decisive.
“When we attacked them first, we knocked out 50% of their missiles and if we didn’t, it would have been a much harder fight,” Trump said.
Asked whether he would speak with Iranian leaders, Trump said talks were possible depending on the terms.
“I’m hearing they want to talk badly,” he said. “It’s possible, depends on what terms.”
Trump also said he was surprised that Iran had targeted Gulf countries in retaliation for the US and Israeli strikes.

And he won’t. He’s already been wounded. He’s going to lose sleep every night, wondering if a bomb is headed his way, looking over his shoulder wondering if a sniper is about to end it, wondering if his own people will come smashing in mowing down his security and dragging him out onto the street.
I can see the man living with a lot of paranoia and fear right now. He’s the last leader presiding over an already-dying regime.
