‘Perturbed’ with Netanyahu, Trump says he wants to meet Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei
Trump said that he was "perturbed" at Netanyahu's military escalation in Lebanon.
Nine days after the US and Israel carried out strikes on Iranian territory, the conflict in West Asia continues to widen, drawing in political upheaval, missile exchanges, and economic tremors far beyond the battlefield. The crisis has already left thousands dead or displaced and triggered fresh fears of a broader regional war.
On Monday, Iran announced a major leadership change. Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as the country’s new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts. The announcement was followed by celebrations in parts of Iran even as fresh missile strikes were reported.
