Trump Expresses Resentment Over Election of New Iranian Leader Amid Ongoing War

Iran-Israel War: Today (10 March 2026) is the 11th day of the Israeli-American invasion of Iran. After the death of his father Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba Khamenei has now been elected as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. But US President Donald Trump has given him a direct message. Donald Trump said that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, "will not be able to live in peace." After electing the second son of Iran's Ali Khamenei as the new leader, Trump has expressed strong resentment over this. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that he is "not happy" with the choice of Iran's leader. Trump said, "I don't think he can live in peace." Before Mojtaba Khamenei's appointment, Trump had insisted that the US should also have a say in choosing Iran's next leader, as the US had previously intervened in Venezuela. In an interview with Axios, Mojtaba Khamenei, the late father of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said that Khamenei would be the new leader of the Islamic Republic.
