Trump's remark come amid a sharp escalation in regional tensions following a joint US and Israeli military strike on Iranian territory on February 28. The attack reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei along with several senior figures, prompting a strong response from Tehran. Earlier on Thursday, Trump said he wanted to be personally involved in the selection of Iran’s next supreme leader following the death of Khamenei in last week’s US Israel strike, according to a report by Axios.
