Trump suggests he may support removal of new Iranian leader

U.S. President Donald Trump has told his aides he would not hesitate to support the removal of Iran's newly elected Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, if he refuses to abandon the country's nuclear program, Walter Bloomberg reported. The statement follows the election of Mojtaba, the second son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, by Iran's Assembly of Experts. Mojtaba has long been considered a potential successor in Iran, and Trump had previously criticized his election, expressing dissatisfaction with the outcome.
