President Donald Trump has expressed his “strong displeasure” over the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new Supreme Leader. Trump called the move a “big mistake” and suggested it would lead to more problems for the Iranian people. He noted that the U.S. military has already neutralized the regime’s ability to defend its new leader.
The President described the ongoing war as a “very complete” operation that is nearing its conclusion. He claimed that the U.S. and Israel have already achieved their primary objectives, including the destruction of 80% of Iran’s missile sites. Trump argued that the “short-term excursion” was necessary to prevent a massive attack that was planned for the following week.
Global markets have been highly volatile, with oil prices spiking before retreating on news of Trump’s optimism. The President warned that any interference with oil shipping would trigger a response of “incalculable” size. He has also mentioned that the U.S. is “thinking about taking over” the Strait of Hormuz to guarantee permanent energy security.
In Lebanon, the war has led to mass displacement as Israeli forces continue their offensive against Hezbollah. Trump praised the military’s performance, stating that they are “far ahead of schedule” in their operations. He argued that the world is a much safer place now that Iran’s naval and communication networks have been dismantled.
In his final remarks, Trump reiterated that the United States is the “greatest and most exceptional nation in human history.” He expressed confidence that the conflict would end “very soon” and lead to a new era of American dominance. The administration remains committed to a policy of “ultimate victory” over regional instability.
