US President Donald Trump said that nobody knows who is running Iran during the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran. According to Trump, "Their leaders are gone, their second group of leaders are gone, and the biggest problem I have is nobody knows who the hell is running the country."
The US-Israeli war with Iran has been ongoing for eight months, with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly killed on the first day of the conflict. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, succeeded him but has not been seen in public since being injured in the same strike that killed his father. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths, millions displaced, and rising fuel prices.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, responded to Trump's comments, stating that Washington knows very well who its counterpart is in Iran and how the decision-making system in Iran works. Trump also faced backlash for comments made at a campaign rally, suggesting that Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego, prompting condemnation from California politicians.
