Trump allowed the death of Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei

US President Donald Trump has expressed doubts that Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is alive. He stated this in an interview with NBC News on March 15.

"I do not know if he is alive at all. So far, no one has been able to show it. I've heard that he's dead. If he's alive, then he should do something very reasonable for his country, namely surrender," he said.

Trump noted that he was not ready to conclude a deal to end the conflict, despite the willingness of the Iranian side to make concessions. He stated that the proposed conditions were not good enough, but did not specify what conditions he was talking about.
