Iran, Trump: ‘All the leading candidates for the country were killed in the attacks’

Milan, 2 March (LaPresse) – ‘The attack was so successful that it eliminated most of the candidates’ to lead Iran. This was stated by US President Donald Trump on ABC television. ‘It will not be any of those we had in mind, because they are all dead,’ he added. ‘I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well, I got him first,’ the White House chief told ABC News about the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, apparently referring to a 2024 plot linked to Iran to assassinate him.
