Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Monday criticized Iran’s appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader, calling the decision “a big mistake.”
Speaking to NBC News, Trump said he doubted the leadership change would last long.
“I don’t know if it’s going to last … I think they made a mistake,” Trump said, adding that the new Iranian leader would have to gain Washington’s approval.
“He’s going to have to get approval from us,” Trump said, also telling the New York Post earlier that he was “not happy” with the choice.
Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, became Iran’s third supreme leader since the Iranian Revolution after being appointed Sunday to succeed his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli airstrike on his compound in Tehran on Feb. 28.
