US President Donald Trump said he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader, as he was with Venezuela following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro, Report informs via The Wall Street Journal.
In an interview with Axios, Trump rejected the notion that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei, should succeed his father.
